luckily for us kiwis, today mald posted his logs for the financial decline, in the form of adrev/month, by presenting an updated burrito index first shown when he got into drama with dan saltman back in 2024.

His data for per viewer and calories is imprecise if you do the calculations yourself but I think the explanation is that mald uses inconsistent decimal rounding, and this is probably the best datapoint we'll get from him publicly.
December 2024 ad revenue = 5.49x14322 = $78,627.78
January 2025 ad revenue = 5.49x7728 = $42,426.72
Feb '' = 5.61x4158 = $23,326.38
March '' = 5.72x5442 = $31,128.24
April '' = 5.72x3653 = $20,895.16
May '' = 5.72x4431 = $25,345.32
June '' = 5.72x6972 = $39,869.84
Average revenue (Jan–June 2025): ≈ $30,498.61
His average viewership for the first 6 months was still in the 6-7ks, now that he is at 2k, we can probably guesstimate his adrev is at 10k a month.
which tbh is still absurdly high given how his viewership isn't much higher than the average unsuccessful twitch fulltime streamer now.
