Stop Building Your Stream Around Friends Who “Might Join”

I used to have this stupid little routine where I’d check Discord before going live and think, “Okay, these two are probably coming, so at least I won’t be streaming to nobody”.

Then they’d get busy. Or forget. Or start playing something else.

And suddenly I’d be sitting there at 0 viewers, even though I’d spent the whole day looking forward to streaming. It honestly killed my motivation way faster than I expected.

I think the bigger lesson is that your stream can’t depend on whether your friends happen to be online that night. They should be a bonus, not the thing keeping the whole stream alive.

Did anyone else have this problem where their entire motivation depended on 2-3 friends showing up?
