Getting no viewers

Hi everyone! I am BlackVeil and I am streaming for about a month and a half now. I mostly stream Once Human, this is bc I am also a partner of their creator program. For other games I play a variety of horror and cutesie/cozy games. My streams are mostly non commentary since i have pretty big anxiety and depression. I do have a cute png-tuber that I use to just put on the screen so that people can like see a face you know? I now have 19 followers so I am super greatfull for that but I don't really understand why there are no viewers on my channel. My husband is my mod so he is always in chat but besides him, nobody really comes. And when they come in, they mostly don't stay. And if they do, 8/10 they are scammers trying to sell viewers or sell themselves and their portfolio to make custom overlays (even when i already have these. I tell them this in a really kind way but they keep pushing and asking)

Is this because I don't talk? Bc of the game I play or how I play it? I do answer with a message if someone sends me a hello just so they also know I really wanna engage etc.

Thank you guys for helping already!

I will put the link to my twitch acc down below for anyone who is interested 😄

Why nobody wants to raid a "ghost town" and how I fixed it

I used to sit there at the end of every stream, energy at 100%, just hoping for that one raid notification to change everything. It never happened. I thought I was just boring or that my gameplay wasn’t "pro" enough. But after I finally got the guts to talk to a few streamers in the 20-40 viewer range, I realized the truth is much simpler: established streamers are actually terrified of raiding an empty room.

Think about it from their side. If you have 50 people watching you, those viewers are like your guests. When you end your stream, you want to send them to a place where the party is already happening. If a raider clicks on your channel and sees 0 or 1 viewer, they see a massive risk to their own reputation. They worry the streamer might freeze up, or that the chat is so dead their viewers will just close Twitch and go to sleep. They are basically performing a "raid audit," and if your room feels cold, they keep scrolling.

I realized that to get raids, I had to look like I didn’t actually need them. There is a weird psychological switch that flips when a streamer sees a channel with 10 or 15 viewers. Suddenly, you aren't a "beginner" anymore - you look like a colleague. Having that baseline of viewers tells a potential raider a few things:

- you can handle a crowd because you already have a "pulse" in the room.

- it’s safe for their community since their viewers won't be the only ones in the chat.

- there’s already momentum and it looks like your channel is taking off.

The difference was night and day once I stopped hitting go live at absolute zero. I started focusing on building a "technical pulse" first. I made sure my counter never showed zero for the first hour, even if it meant having a few Discord buddies commit to lurking.

Because I wasn't at the very bottom of the category anymore, I actually became visible to other streamers looking for someone to raid. I went from 0reids to getting 2 or 3 week just by fixing that initial signal. It's not about faking success, it's about making yourself "raid-ready " so the community actually gives you a chance to show your talent.

Have you ever skipped raiding someone because their viewer count was too low?
