If I just sat down and started streaming video games, how likely am I to earn a very basic, beer money amount of income?

A couple of extra hundred dollars a month would go a very long way, and I see people just getting $20 - $100 from donations... I get that I won't get that, but there must be something to this that keeps it from being a do or die experience right?

On that subject... Are video donations considered payment by the IRS? I know it has donation in the name, but does the IRS consider it donations or an income? I'd like to know if I'm supposed to be paying taxes on that.

Thanks all!
