Been grinding this one site for weeks now and something feels off with the other players, like in blackjack i'll hit a table and everyone is perfectly timing their moves almost like bots waiting for me to join. One guy always chats the exact same "good luck bro" every hand then folds predictably. Lost 200 last night chasing a streak that seemed too perfect.

is this normal or am i paranoid? similar to those gambling addiction posts where people spiral after paycheck's gone. I need real talk so does anyone know signs of fake players or good sites with actual humans?

I’ve been streaming since February, already got affiliated. But my main struggle is consistent viewership. I try to be talkative play variety of games, but nothing sticks. Any advice?

I need help. I understand what the numbers mean (like the categories), but I don’t understand if the turn over and correlation is good if that makes sense? are there percentages out there to see if I am growing as I should be based on my numbers?

for example I have been getting 900-1200 live views, but only 450-750 unique viewers. I had a random stream spike and hit 2550 unique and 3220 live, but my chat was lower than normal, despite getting like 25 new followers. was I botted? Viewer average was right in my normal range at the time though so I’m not really sure what happened there.

I usually get a 2-6 follows a stream, and about 5 non gifted subs a week. does this track with my numbers?

hi all! so basically for context i am a new streamer (one month in) and have okay stats (reached affiliate in two weeks, ~5 average viewers, 80+ followers, 3 subs, i’m happy) but i’m just about to finish the only game i’ve been streaming so far since starting and i am super scared.

the game i am playing is outer wilds (not self promo, pls bear with me, it’s important to why i’m nervous). for those who don’t know it, it’s known for being one that you can only play once in your life, and because it’s so good people who have played it usually wanna see the wonder and surprise on people who have never played it before, so what do they do? they watch streamers play it.

now, my last stream of this game is coming (i know i’m getting to the end of it) and tbh i’m so nervous to finish it as 1) i have no idea what to play next and 2) my recurring viewers are ones who have played this game and who enjoyed watching me play it, but i have no idea whether they will stick with me through another game.

i guess if there’s a question here, it’s: (to streamers) how do you guys usually choose your next game? do you ask your viewers, do you pick one according to whether it’s being "overstreamed"? (to viewers) do you typically stick with a streamer because of what they play, or because of who they are? when they finish a game you’ve really liked, what makes you stay with them?

thanks y’all and sorry for the novel LOL

Im going to keep going, but im about at a month and my only viewers are my personal friends, usually just one of them. What did you guys do that you noticed helped with viewers staying? I dont really get any chatters so its hard to be engaging.

Any advice would be appreciated! TIA

So I’ve been streaming to Twitch and TikTok but for the past week when I try to check my live performance on Twitch it won’t let me load my stream with error #1000. I thought it was a my side issue and didn’t think much but it got brought to my attention by a viewer they can’t see anything either. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I am averaging about 3 viewers every stream compared to my 76 followers, but I would really like to have a community/audience. How would I gain more viewers that return everyday?

Struggling to achieve the have an avg of 3 viewers across 4 days as this is the only barrier for me to reach affiliate any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😃

Really enjoying it so far and just want to make sure i am doing everything i could be doing!

Hey everyone, how ya doing? So to get to the jist of my question, how can I stream and make somewhat of an impact without using my disease as a crutch?

I have stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma and there’s going to be times where I have to abruptly stop streaming or go silent for a few days due to treatments and just overall feeling like shit.

I don’t want the pity but I would like to bring my experiences to light for other people going through this or other diseases.

Any suggestions on how I can intertwine my normal content with my disease without using it as a crutch or should I just keep it a secret from the majority?

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time in advance.

I’ve been looking at some posts on reddit and I see people say the same thing about how turning on a game and going live isnt enough to grow or get people to watch your streams anymore does that mean I have no chance of growing on twitch because im not one of these streamers that shouts and is so energetic I’m very chill I do talk in my streams mainly about the gameplay and I engage with people if they chat but I feel like I’m order to grow you have put on an act on stream and be funny and loud but that’s just not me at all am I wasting my time with this streaming thing? I really do enjoy it

I'm currently out of work due to an injury and I can't go back to work until I have a "Full Medical Clearance" with no restrictions and I do see that happening any time soon......

Should I give content creation a real shot now?

I've already been streaming for 10yrs but, never taken it seriously.

Have been an affiliate for a number of years already.

I used to have a pretty good following when I was doing VR stuff but, I haven't had room for that for a good while but, nowadays, no one really watches. 😅

Hi there,

So ive started streaming not even 2 months ago and got affiliate within 1, got some returning viewers. Howevers the past few days ive been unable to stream. Whenever I get into a game (whether its fn or mc) my stream freezes and aint responding. Ive been able to stream without problems and all of a sudden this happens. It really annoys me..

I stream on tt and twitch, however for some reason my twitch just freezes which runs on obs (tt works on their studio app). Does anyone know how to fix it? Ive looked online and changed bitrates, changed the output but sadly it didnt work
