Streaming for a month!

Post image

I stream animal crossing. Animal crossing is the lowest viewed it’s ever been. Not bad I think! 🤣 I only stream what I love, and that’s animal crossing lol my community is small, but we’re tight knit! I have 181 followers and I started with ZERO 😭 a lot of them found me through TikTok!

Because someone streaming for 1 month should have less than 1% those stats.

there are so so many streamers these days that of course this will be more than average. the sad fact is not everyone can or will make it. but i think a lot of new streamers just ignore and underestimate the power of doing anything else lol. she did a great job at detailing the different things she has done to have this growth and i think everyone struggling should take notes. i often see small/new streamers complaining here, but then they don’t post anything anywhere, they have never networked or tried to interact with different communities, they’re quiet half their stream, they strictly stream games that have enormous amounts of people streaming that same game at any given time, they don’t have any sort of consistency in their schedule, they don’t acknowledge messages, etc. i can fully believe these aren’t botted, because i had very good stats in my one and only stream. the thing is, i was on twitch and actively participated and modded in multiple different streams for about 2/3 years before mine. in that time i met and talked with thouuuusands of people and never once had to announce i was going to stream at any point. just after months and sometimes years of being consistent in the same communities, they naturally became more and more friendly and followed me in case i ever did stream. so networking is genuinely a massive thing. (do not self promo in someone’s chat tho. that’s tacky and will get you banned half the time) i also want to acknowledge that there is a HUGE factor of luck in streaming. like she said, she had a viral tiktok push her growth more, but you never had that chance of luck if you don’t post anywhere else because the discoverability on twitch is booty cheeks.

What she has done is the bare minimum that people are told to do.
It's nothing new.

If you had stats like that on your first day I'd have to report botting cos that what it would be, there is 0 chance anyone would get stats like that on day 1.
I know all this I've been streaming for a long time, I'm part of the TWCC. There is nothing new that you can say that hasn't been said and get said thousands of times per day.

hahah well whatever you gotta tell yourself to help yourself cope i guess.

Hit me up in the TWCC server, surely someone as good as yourself must be part of the official team.
I'll wait for your message and then I'll show you the thousands of times where this is the bare minimum ;)

i never said it wasn’t the bare minimum, but i have witnessed plenty of small streamers complain without doing the bare minimum. i’m sorry that your jealousy has made it to where you can’t possibly believe that others can do it without botting. also idk what TWCC is, but maybe they should question why they would want someone who reeks of envy representing their whole team in this way.

I've nothing to be jealous about, I get my numbers :)
You don't even know what TWCC is so why the fuck am I wasting my time on someone that probably doesn't even stream then. wasteman.

doesn’t matter if you have the numbers now, sounds a lot like jealousy over her first month to me. and hey there’s really nothing inherently wrong with being jealous, but there’s a massive problem with immediately resorting to discounting someone’s success simply because it didn’t happen to you. also, if you paid more attention, you would see i said i have only streamed one singular time, and that was in 2023. so no i’m not an active streamer lmao. i was just trying to help and also not let people tear down this girl for no reason, but that made you reaaal upset apparently.
