Presenting this month's top content creators, ranked by their YouTube and Twitch stats! Note: This doesn't include Dota teams/companies or people who upload gameplay that is not their own.
Here are some highlights from the top 5.
#5: JimBen
After just barely missing out during the past two months, JimBen is back in the top 5! This period JimBen couldn't keep pace with the top streamers' numbers, but he did manage to gain the most new YouTube subscribers.
#4: Baumi
Like JimBen, Baumi is making his second top 5 appearance of 2016. Baumi has been extremely active, uploading multiple YouTube videos each day. If you're on the hunt for non-competitive videos, check out Baumi's 'Dota 2 Mods' series, in which he test drives fun and interesting mods from the community.
#3: Wagamama
Let's welcome a blast from the past! Wagamama makes his first top 5 appearance since July 2015. Wagamama took advantage of off months from Dendi and ppd to place third. A big part of Wagamama's return is due to his renewed YouTube activity. This month, he posted his first new set of videos since January. Fun fact: After update 6.87 dropped, Wagamama hit 17,000 concurrent viewers on stream.
#2: Arteezy
This month, Arteezy edged out Admiral Bulldog in terms of new Twitch followers and channel views. Despite being the only top 5 creator without a YouTube channel, Arteezy still managed to place #2. Get your Arteezy fix while you can - when he and Team Secret begin preparations for TI6, we expect to see his Twitch activity diminish.
#1: Admiral Bulldog
Due to his immense popularity on Twitch and YouTube, it's no surprise that Admiral Bulldog has been the #1 creator for all of 2016. He was also verified on Twitter last month, which in our book is a pretty cool accomplishment. After update 6.87 dropped, Admiral Bulldog experienced a login problem, but thankfully it was quickly resolved.

between the % that paypal takes and the fact that A LOT of donations are canceled just after the donation its made, not much money goes through. And more often than not, paypal sides with the donator
pretty sure they make more money with ads, and what the team (i guess) pays them for publicity

You think ppl open disputes with Paypal over 3$ ? or its those crazy 200$ donations you are talking about ? I think its a one time thing (the disputes) , you wont be able to claim it was a mistake or you didnt know it was real money or what not when you do it several times. Do you think you can guesstimate the income ? i am really intersted at the ballpark number

The guy that got donated has to "accept" the payment before the donation its complete
Because donations are not gifts and they are part of tax income (which paypal declares btw, so you are forced to do so also), the biggest problem its not those $3-$5 dollar donations, are those big ones that get refunded because a lot of the penalties and processing fees end up coming from the own guys pocket
I remember a story about a getting a somewhat low ($100) donation that got chargedback and he even had to pay 20% in processing fees.
I mean, im sure the guys are making money, no doubt about it, but its not exactly "trouble-free"

The rates that streamers get on ads is very low. I think the majority of income is from subscribers and donations.
