Nobody consistently makes as much money on Twitch as 27-year-old Félix “xQc” Lengyel. With currently 71,294 subscriptions, he earns around €250,000 per month from the subscriptions on Twitch alone. Nevertheless, in one clip he looks heartbroken when he sees what his colleague shroud has that he is missing.

What is he missing? Anyone who now thinks xQc is crazy happy with his life is wrong. You can see that in a clip.
After a long day at work on Twitch, xQc surfs the channels and gets stuck on the streamers Sodapoppin and shroud. While watching shroud’s gameplay he says:
He lives his life. He lives with his girlfriend in a nice house. I mean look at this. I can’t sleep at night, eat McDonalds – at every meal. I’m alone in this stupid house that I hate. I know I could change it, I know But still.
It is not entirely clear who exactly he is referring to. Both Sodapoppin, which he looks at beforehand, and shroud, which he sees as he speaks, his statements can apply.
xQc lack sleep, a home, sensible food
What is he missing? xQc seems to be missing 4 things that streamers like shroud and Sodapoppin got right:
xQc streams 8.5 hours a day with no down time – can never switch off
Why doesn’t he have all that? xQc has a terrible work-life balance:
xQc, on the other hand, has apparently had a hard time privately, allegedly he was married to his long-term girlfriend Adept for a short time, divorced again, and had to move frequently because of stalkers. From the outside it seems as if he just hasn’t been able to rest for years and never manages to switch off.
Reddit doesn’t understand why a multi-millionaire eats fast food
How is this discussed? On Reddit, they don’t exactly discuss the subtle causes that could have the problem, but the whole practical thing: why the hell does xQc, with all the money he has, only eat from McDonalds? It can’t be that difficult to find a decent cook or restaurants. Even “UberEats” would be an upgrade:
There are also voices that suspect that the sleep problems could be due to the abuse of the drug “Adderall”: This is said to be widespread in the overatch scene, where xQc comes from. But that’s speculation.
An example of how to live reasonably reasonably as a top streamer, despite major problems and stress, is Tyler1 of all people:
