StableRonaldo proves his big earnings after leaving FaZe Clan
Rani “StableRonaldo” Netz was one of the more popular streamers associated with FaZe Clan, and in the short time since leaving he has seemingly proved speculation of viewbotting wrong by hitting big numbers in both viewers and earnings during his first stream after leaving the organization.
Members of the FaZe Clan streaming and content team surprised their fans by announcing successive departures from the organization on Christmas day. The unexpected holiday drama was made even more shocking after former clan leader Richard “Banks” Bengtson claimed that FaZe leadership was viewbotting the majority of the views these streamers had been getting.
StableRonaldo has seemingly proved Banks wrong since by pulling an insane number of viewers in his first live broadcast since leaving FaZe Clan, and also revealed how much he earned during that first post-FaZe stream.
How much StableRonaldo did make after leaving FaZe?
Streamer StableRonaldo earned over $11,000 with roughly 117,000 peak viewers in a roughly 35-minute stream during which he discussed about his departure from FaZe Clan.
StableRonaldo didn’t go in-depth while talking about viewbotting allegations leveled by ex-FaZe Clan leader Banks, but he did reveal his earnings and peak viewers during his brief return stream. He also elaborated that the Twitch revenue he was showing was without ads, which is typically a large contributor to total earnings on the streaming platform. It’s easy to imagine that his total of $11,000 could have been far greater if he’d run ads, or if he had streamed for more than just over half an hour.
Fans were quick to react, stating “the numbers don’t lie” and noting that leaving FaZe Clan didn’t seemingly decrease StableRonaldo’s viewers or earnings, despite Banks having essentially predicted both with his accusations. This aligns with claims of his fans and other streamers like Adin Ross of StableRonaldo and his peers being bigger than the FaZe Clan brand and no longer needing the organization, if they ever needed it to begin with.

Others wondered what might happen to Faze Clan from here, as almost all the FaZe streamers have quit the organization, leaving fans to question if the content team will completely shut down entirely. And while StableRonaldo was able to get terrific viewership in his first return to streaming since his departure, some have speculated that once the drama around FaZe ends, he and his peers may notice a decline in both his viewership and earnings.
StableRonaldo isn’t new to getting big Twitch earnings, but the viewbotting allegations have tainted perceptions of the streamer, as some fans if his traction is organic or if it has been manipulated. StableRonaldo recently revealed that he had made $100,000 during a five-day Elden Ring marathon. This is an impressive amount, especially in such a small time, but some have started questioning whether his views were botted at the time.
Time will tell whether StableRonaldo is able to maintain his viewers and earnings, but the early returns have been strictly positive. The next step for the Twitch streamer will be to attempt to keep that momentum rolling forward even as the furor from his move dies down.
