I have in recent times seen some vtubers dejectedly quit making content, because they cannot make ends meet.
It's a difficult situation to be in, for sure. But at the same time... I wouldn't recommend vtubing, or content creation in general, if the purpose is to make money. For a content creator, it can often take years to start earning a profit, and years more before it's enough to live off.
Most of the successful content creators you know started out doing it part-time while having more stable employment.
It's easy to think that streaming or making videos is an easy way to make a lot of money, especially when we see so many huge creators like Kai Cenat or Mr. Beast make millions. But it's important to remember how many people are in this space, and at the end of the day, how few actually take home any money at all, let alone enough to live comfortably off.
It took me 4-5 years before I was able to make even a tiny bit off content creation. And a little bit longer after that, to make enough to actually survive off.
If you want to do content creation, don't put yourself in a position where you depend on the success of it too much.
“Could I do more?”
You all have done more for this game and our studio than could ever be imagined, and no words can accurately depict how lucky we are to have shared these worlds with you.
Don’t blame yourselves or think you could have / should have done more. This is just the way it goes sometimes.
No matter the future, we will always have these memories.
Thank you. For everything.

To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
I’m safe. I’m physically okay. Just needed to be broken instead of strong for a little bit. I needed a moment to be honest and vulnerable with you all. I love y’all. I promise to wake up.
my hacker has deleted my gmail account and by the time i was verified, it was too late for me to reclaim my account. my youtube, instagram, and discord that were tied to the gmail are all gone and i would really appreciate ANYTHING. @YouTubeCreators@YouTube@TeamYouTube@hitsman
When you realize the people you love can disappear at any moment, the rest of life's problems feel so insignificant.
Love loudly. Make every second count. Spend as much time as you can with your friends. Make more memories.
That's all that really matters in the end.
