Just because you do something a certain way doesn't mean everyone does. A huge chunk of these peoples income comes from the random people who find their videos or streams because of the "algorithm". Not from their regular viewers. Those regular viewers allow for a certain amount of steadiness, but they're also more likely to watch videos at a later time rather than right when they're uploaded. Which is a significant drop in revenue for each view.
