The Hamburg-based Maximilian Stemmler (28) is one of the most successful German content creators as Trymacs. This pays off: At the end of 2022, he revealed how much he earns from Twitch and YouTube . However, things didn’t go exactly as planned, as his fans apparently expected something different.
How successful is Trymacs? Trymacs is among the biggest streamers on German Twitch and also runs several YouTube channels for standalone videos and highlights from his streams. On Twitch, Trymacs has 3.2 million followers, and his largest YouTube channel has 2.1 million subscribers.
Why does Trymacs show his earnings? The content creator annually does a kind of year-in-review, in which he discloses his viewer hours, video views, and his earnings from the previous year.
However, he doesn’t want to brag, according to Trymacs. Transparency is very important to him, he explained in the stream. Even though people on YouTube would surely get “insanely angry” because of his openness.
How much did Trymacs earn with Twitch in 2022? As Trymacs stated in his year-in-review on December 13, he earned a total of €524,000 from Twitch through “subs”, i.e. paid subscriptions. After subtracting the share that Twitch retains for itself, €366,000 ends up with the streamer.
After taxes and deductions, Trymacs is left with €183,400.
Annoyance over ‘Naysayer Community’
What were the reactions? €180,000 is probably a lot of money for most people, and his fans wished Trymacs success as well. Especially since it is only about the earnings from subs.
However, the sum left some of Trymacs’ fans quite indifferent. Unimpressed messages appeared in the streamer’s chat: “Not that much”, “Expected more” and “Why so little?” could be read there.
Trymacs was visibly offended. “Are you crazy?” shouted the streamer, looking at his chat. He just wanted to show his recap and shouldn’t have to justify himself at all. Indignant, Trymacs referred to his viewers as the “Naysayer Community.”
In light of such figures, even the critical “9-year-olds” probably had nothing left to complain about.
Even on the English-speaking Twitch, it’s currently all about money. After MMORPG streamer Asmongold streamed on his non-monetized secondary account for months, he is now celebrating his comeback. Nevertheless, he still runs comparatively few ads – even though the offers are tempting.

After all, that is “a lot” of money. His viewers, on the other hand, are 9 years old and only receive €7 pocket money a week.
After the incident, Trymacs quickly switched to his earnings on the video platform YouTube.
“You can argue about everything, but this is deserved”
How much did Trymacs earn with YouTube? With his 3 channels Trymacs, SecondTry and TryReact, the content creator generated a total of approximately 360 million clicks. This earns Trymacs €1.18 million, from which taxes and deductions are still to be subtracted – then he’s left with just under €600,000.
However, Trymacs was surprised by his most successful videos: His most successful video was apparently an experiment in Clash of Clans, which he could barely remember. His reactions to the controversial YouTuber ApoRed also performed well – viewers jokingly pointed out that Trymacs earned more with it than ApoRed himself.
Trymacs was particularly pleased with a video of training with his football team: His skills were rewarded with €2,700. That is more than deserved, according to Trymacs: “You can argue about everything, but this is earned.”
In light of such figures, even the critical “9-year-olds” probably had nothing left to complain about.
