I've been streaming for about 10 years on twitch. Not a huge personality, but I am a partner/affiliate and it's always hilarious to me despite serving who knows how many hundreds of hours of ads (that my viewers constantly complain about) that I can't really do anything about. and how little I actually get from it is a joke. I also get a pathetic share off of subscriptions and always encourage my viewers to save their money and donate to me off-platform if they so desire (but I don't encourage it, because I think my day job makes me way more than most of my viewers make).

I've been looking for another platform, considered youtube but it has much of the same issues. Maybe I'll go to tiktok.

TikTok is probably the worst one to make money from adverts.

I don't drive income from this other than what I can do to declare writeoffs on my taxes - I just want to provide a better experience for my viewers. It's objectively miserable watching twitch streams without adblockers.

If you are primarily trying to provide quality content for a few long-time viewers, you could try a discord stage channel. It'll destroy your discoverability, but for people who are already there, it's probably the best streaming platform there is atm

As a user I prefer YouTube because their premium offering is a great value especially shared in a family (zero ads + music streaming).
