For years, there have been commercials advertising that you could "make money while you sleep" and someone finally has (without some crazy pyramid scheme)! It seems that people are now making my by livestreaming themselves while they sleep.
According to a story from Business Insider, a Twitch streamer who goes by the name of Asian Andy, is one of the most well-known. The 26 year old from LA managed to make $16,000 in a single night on his Twitch streaming snoozefest, though he didn't actually get much sleep.
Like a lot of livestreamers, he had notifications turned on with speech-to-text to give chimes and read messages when donations to the stream were made. Some viewers just made their donation, while others used their message to make his Alexa device bark like a dog, play loud music, or even set off his wake-up alarm!
At the end of this fitful night of sleep, even Andy was astonished at the $16k he had made and how generous the viewers were.
