The average streamer is not monetized at all. The numbers I just found indicate 72.8% of Twitch streamers make nothing at all, and a further 15.2% make $25 a month or less. Presumably other services have similar breakdowns.

Which means that even if you only use the monetized ones to determine the average, the median is <$25 a month (15.2% is more than half of the 27.2% that make more than nothing). Now, those figures don't indicate how much time each of those people spend streaming in a given month, so they don't necessarily give an indication of how much you get per viewer or per hour, but they still pretty unambiguously indicate that you shouldn't bank on streaming being a significant income source.
