nah i regret not buying lottery ticket with winning numbers that i saw after the raffle was done

I have the charisma of a moldy wet towel so it wouldn't have gone anywhere regardless.

>unprecedented boom in popularity
basketball american, it does that every time a new game comes out. How old are you anyway?

I have 15 followers watch out anons you'll be watching me soon and you won't even know it.

I don't really watch streams myself but I'd imagine a smaller audience makes for more interactivity

>Your sole source of income is to play ever FOTM game 24/7
>You have to over exagerrated every emotion to fake hype
>You're also now at mercy to twitch chat for your fucking money.

I'm content with my stable job.

Do you know how retarded you sound? This shit is based on luck.
Someone could put in over 5000 hours into streaming for twitch and still have sub 100 subs or viewers.

>Be girl streamer
"OH EM GEE STOP CALLING ME UGLY I AM NOT UGLY"
>user donates $100 just to say she's ugly again

>Be male streamer
>Get shit on for free if you even get an audience

i play games for fun not as a career

i started streaming a month ago just for fun since i play games constantly anyway but noone wants to watch streams with no cam/mic for whatever reason. oh well i'll keep doing it cause there's no reason not to

I am more interesting and play games with more interesting people than any streaming channel, so no.

I do find jerma funny however

I never had the chance. I was born poor and my house is full. Even if I wanted to try it out, I couldn't and now that im earning enough and have a good life I can't bother with something that is just based on rng

99% of Yas Forums has negative personality and shitty taste in video games to succeed on twitch.
You actually need to be a likeable person and play relevant games in order to pull off some numbers.

this is true for for 99% of people

untrue, you just need persistence and to play a LOT and to be really good at the game you play. speedrunners often have shitty personality but people watch them cause they're skilled af at their chosen game. that's one path

/thread

I would only regret not becoming one if I were to get the same immunity as Alinity.

I’d rather not be forced to play games all day every day and act like the court jester for a bunch of paypiggies

Nigger, only autists watch speedrunners. And autists don't give money away. They need their NEETbux.

This
Nobody wants to watch an ugly, cynical loser stutter about SJWs and kino while he struggles not to kill himself every time he sees a cute girl on screen

I started streaming last week. I have 17 followers now and a handful of people show up to watch me every time I stream. It's fun.
Based.

I'd rather wagecuck 12 hour shifts 5 days a week than do a speedruns.

If you have a shitty unengaging personality you ain't gonna go past 500 or so viewers

you can gather a following via speedrunning and once you have like ~150 viewers transition to variety and go from there. the hard part is going from 0 viewers to any viewers, from there it's just stream long times all day every day

>now that it's going through an unprecedented boom in popularity?
its not, roasties are all just flooding to it to get money from cucks. viewership is not exploding, roasties begging for money are.

>stream game
>chatter enters the room
>"is this a blind playthrough"
>say yes
>entire chat becomes filled with his backseating and telling me what's about to come next so I can't even have an authentic reaction to anything
Yeah I get it, it's your favorite game but now it's not going to be mine because you're ruining it.

>Be male streamer
>Get shit on for free if you even get an audience

A fellow Lawonk viewer I see

There are people who have been streaming for close to a decade and haven't broken 1k viewers.

artificial growth from bots isn't a boom, it's a huge bust in the making
>2018
>Twitch CEO Emmett Shear set a target of $1 billion in ad revenue at a recent staff meeting, according to a report from Bloomberg. That's more than double its current ad sales
>2020
>Twitch generated around $230 million in ad revenue in 2018, and it was on pace to reach just $300 million by the middle of last year, according to a report by The Information. The company was expecting between $500 million and $600 million in annual ad revenue going into the year.
people going into streaming thinking they'll quickly "make it" instead of trying to have fun/make friends are what will ultimately kill the site
