How much does MoistCr1TiKaL make on YouTube?
During a MoistCr1TiKaL livestream in October, the content creator decided to show his official lifetime YouTube earnings for a brief moment.
“Be ready, because here is it. Huge f——- number. An unfathomable amount of money,” MoistCr1TiKaL said.
That unfathomable amount? Moist earned over $35 million between May 2007 and October 2025, with his revenue really picking up around 2019. This is thanks to his getting over 12.2 billion views on his videos over the years and related revenues from that immense viewership number.

Recently, MoistCr1TiKaL announced that he was turning off some monetization options on YouTube and Twitch – at least, as much as was allowed. This was apparently in response to economic concerns, with Moist saying there are “better ways” to use money than to donate to him on stream for a few fleeting seconds of recognition, or by subscribing to his Twitch channel.
“For subs, I can’t get rid of that. If I could, I would,” the streamer said. “But from what I can tell, there are a lot of hoops to jump through in order to accomplish that. I just want to strongly urge you, do not waste your money subbing to me on Twitch.”
How much does MoistCr1TiKaL make on Twitch?
In total, MoistCr1TiKaL has earned over $5 million on Twitch.
From the start of 2017 to 2018, when he was just “goofing around and having some fun,” MoistCr1TiKaL made over $55,000 on Twitch. But from 2019 to 2021, when he started taking streaming on Twitch more seriously with 3,600 hours dedicated to the platform across those two years, he earned nearly $1.3 million. And this was before his Twitch contract and with minimal ads.
“I got a Twitch contract, which necessitated a certain amount of ads – three minutes of ad time per hour. So from 2021 to 2025, I made $4.1 million,” MoistCr1TiKaL explained to viewers.
The $5 million likely includes ad revenue and Twitch subscriptions, but doesn’t necessarily take any direct payments from his contract into account. MoistCr1TiKaL also has partnerships, collaborations, and other business pursuits on top of his content creation responsibilities, all of which provide additional income for him. Without any of that being considered, the streaming income alone was enough to shock many in the gaming and streaming communities, even with this not being the first time the creator’s income has been discussed..
