Tonkaaa is not making 10gs a month of twitch... Probably half that... As for your other comment like buddy said... Jaime hasn't streamed in 2 weeks so he will get more subs in his first couple days as he hasn't played in so long... So quite standard
Ive talked to buehlero before who is a decent streamer for nighttime viewers... He said he makes 200 bucks a month of twitch... They make money of subs which they get half of and donations thats it...
So tonkaaa is at 5k maximum... Thats on the high end... Probably more like 3 to 4
With staples viewers down... So would be his subs and donations... Id say he's in the range of 1500 to 2500 a month nowadays
Anyone who is partnered is making a lot more than $200 per month if they're streaming regularly. buehlero has over 100 subs so that's over $250 right there just in subs.
There are several monetization avenues available to streamers aside from subs & dono's. Ad revenue, sponsorship/paid appearances & merchandising are the common ones. But to make it work you have to have a lot more dedication than a stream or two per week. You don't necessarily have to be great at the game you're playing, but it helps a lot if you are (especially for poker streamers). What you DO have to be, is entertaining & engaging. Building a community and brand takes a lot of time and effort, and if you don't keep at it, someone else will come along and snatch your viewers which has happened to Staples. It might happen fast, or it might be a slow bleed, but you can't sit back and relax. Staples should be streaming 5-6 days/week if he wants to keep up.

Not trying to bring staples down... He should figure out away to earn back that income he lost.... Spending 7k a month on youtube content is a waste of money
The only justification would be building your brand with professional content. But even then that level of expense seems premature for where his channel is.
Most Youtubers who are putting up daily videos with 10k-15k views are editing themselves because that's not enough to live on, let alone hire someone to do it. That's hobby-level. For perspective, I know of a large gaming channel (over 5M subs, >500k views/day) and he just this year hired someone full time to edit his videos. (thank god b/c it was my daughter, and I was getting tired of subsidizing her twitch/youtube career.)
Bottom line, online entertaining is an extremely competitive arena. It's easy to be positive when you're succeeding and at the top. And it's also easy to get down and depressed when your popularity and viewers are dropping. You gotta fight hard if you want it because there's a thousand others nipping at your heels to take it away from you.
