I know quite a few low profile streamers on twitch that are barely scraping a living (i.e. ~$1k a month), with average viewership at ~1-200 in niche topics (Geoguessr for instance).

There are a lot more youtubers making a living, but very few (probably less than 5%) make it to a reasonable income. So as others mentioned, it's best to do it as a hobby and switch to it full time when/if it takes off. If you're under pressure to deliver your content will be negatively impacted.
