You won't be able to put in minimal effort and make money at it, it takes time and effort to build up a community that sticks with you and who will want to support you. Also, going in with the aim to make money isn't a very good way to do it as that's going to show to your viewers. You need to want to do it and the rest comes naturally.

No commentary probably won't work too well either, the interaction with viewers is a big part of what builds the community. People are generously subbing to me and cheering with bits enough to where it's worth, like, $100/month to me right now, and I didn't go into it figuring on reaching any return on it, I just naturally narrate myself when I play, make sure to say hi to everybody I can that comes in, and crack some jokes. It's very relaxed. That resonates with a lot of people, apparently.

So anyway, no, you won't make anything going in with the mindset you are. You need to figure out first if you want to have an audience and will enjoy it, and let the rest come.
