Asmongold has become one ofTwitch’s top-earning livestreamers, but if he wasn’t a Twitch streamer, Asmongold has stated that he would probably be living off government welfare. “There’s a big part of me that probably would just be doing nothing. That’s about it.” Asmongold emphasized his interest in autonomy and freedom in being able to do what he wants whenever he wants to as his logic behind doing nothing if Twitch wasn’t an option.
The popular Twitch streamer’s goal was always to “live off the government and play video games all day” so that he could “hang out with the boys” in games such asWorld of Warcraft,Final Fantasy 14, andAmazon Games’New World. The reason that Asmongold prioritizes freedom and autonomy more than activity is that doing nothing for a career opens up the potential activities to limitless potential. Some Twitch viewers were quick to point out to Asmongold that the government doesn’t simply give money to folks who don’t want to work, to which he responded by giving them credit for fueling his Twitch career.
Twitch was Asmongold’s attempt at earning money while remaining at home in a pivot that he suggested wasn’t much different from living off government money. “I had to find someone else to give me money, and that’s you guys. I had to switch things up a little bit, but not that much.” Because Asmongold has remained popular onTwitch despite taking multiple breaks, this audience has ensured Asmongold can remain at home as long as he wants to.
Twitch viewership continued to rise throughout 2021 over previous years, suggesting that Twitch’s Asmongold will continue to earn revenue from his fanbase rather than the government. It’s currently unclear what activities Asmongold has been afforded the opportunity to do because of his employment status, but it’s likely that his Twitch popularity led to founding the One True King organization. Other popular streamers on the team include Mizkif, Esfand, and thenew OTK addition Emiruwho all stream onTwitchregularly.
