After years of streaming on and off, streaming, then giving up, then coming back, I have finally reached affiliate! It's been crazy, but I finally stopped caring about viewer count and about how I need to grow, and just started having fun. I've also been connecting with people, and as great as it is to collab with them, what's even greater is that they also want to just have a good time.

I just wanted to post this to say, it is possible! Regardless, I've been having a lot of fun, and I'm gonna keep going just because I'm enjoying talking to myself lol

If your wondering why it’s because that name I had was like 8 years old haven’t used it in forever so we changed to the name I use on everything else😬😬😆

I was wondering if anyone has ideas on things to do when someone donates to the charity stream I plan on doing? I want to do the reward during the stream itself. So far I have only one idea myself for the smallest tier: Writing the name of the person (colour of their choice) on a balloon to gradually fill my room.

Say I started 2 months ago. Had a few streams with around 20 viewers. Always edit a few shorts every night. Those get around 1k-2k views. Made a few full videos that barely get seen.

But feeling burnout… I love gaming and I feel pretty socialable on stream. But maybe I dont have the looks or voice for this? And I dont act like a twelve year old screaming all the time like I’m on addaral like I noticed a lot of big streamers do…

Any thoughts?

Does anyone know of any small groups of small streamers that mainly play cozy or more relaxed games on stream? I am very new to streaming and while I love adventure games and more intense games (only games I am not into is horror and FPS). I am just streaming low energy games for now while I get comfortable. I kinda just want to find a community of streamers that may play similar relaxed games. Just want to make some friends :)

Some of my favorite cozy games: Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Coral Island, Dinkum, Fields of Mistria

Also love Zelda, BG3, Skyrim, other adventure games.

Hi! I’m 26(f) and new to streaming and content creation! I’ve had my YouTube channel and have been posting consistently for a few months an just started getting into shorts! I’ve seen no real change there even if I average 1K views no new followers come out of it! Same thing for twitch I recently started streaming on twitch and haven’t been able to make any real connections in community there! I’m a frequent streamer and comment and follow others with the same interest or vibes but never seem to see new people come my way! I just made affiliate thanks to some amazing friends and my supportive partner but not sure what else I could do to build a community! Any tips?

Hello there, I am new into this subreddit and a new streamer aswell and usually having 0 views working on other social media platforms to advertise my channel but I was wondering what to do when there is no one watching my stream I am usaully talkitive but with no viewers its kinda hard for me just to be saying anything sometimes I notice viewers who be watching the stream but they still silent how to make people more interseted into my stream or is it just a case of time?

And of course, I am looking for other new streamer friends. I would be more than happy to meet more people who are on the same journey as me!!

I’ve been streaming and making short-form content as a PNGTuber for almost 2 years now, but I’ve been struggling to get people into my streams on both TikTok and Twitch. I’m not sure if my clips just aren’t funny, aren’t grabbing people’s attention, or if I’m doing something else wrong.

The people who do stop by usually have really good conversations with me, and they’ll often say they enjoyed the stream and that they’ll be back next time. But most of the people who watch seem to be there for the game rather than me. They’ll chat for a bit, say they’ll be back, and then I never see them again.

I’ve also wondered if being a PNGTuber is part of the problem. Since I’m basically just an image opening and closing its mouth, I can’t really show much emotion visually. Would switching to a VTuber or a more advanced PNGTuber with eye movement and more animations actually help with keeping people around?

I’d really like to hear from other creators about what I could improve, whether that’s my content, streams, clips, or just how I present myself. I’m mainly trying to figure out how to get people interested in me, rather than just the game I’m playing.
