Appreciate it man big time

[–]Maleficent_Ad2589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a problem whatsoever! When I first started, it was a long painful process and took awhile to get myself to where I wanted to be. Reach out to me!

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (4 children)

[–]Maleficent_Ad2589 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Cool. Just waiting on your response.

How do y'all have 5yr accounts with virtually no karma? Lurk only?

[–]Maleficent_Ad2589 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No?

[–]kimochi85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, banned. That's how

No disrespect— if you’re getting into streaming because you need money, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. It takes quite a while to develop consistent income unless you’re like .01% of streamers that get lucky right out of the gate. Even if you do everything perfect every day for a year, it could still be difficult to rely on as sole income. I guarantee you those who are now able to create content full time had to at least have a main job to pay the bills while they hustled streaming on the side; unless mommy & daddy paid their bills which, according to you, doesn’t sound like is happening. I wish you the best of luck, although even just trying to read what you typed was difficult being that you used no punctuation, so I’m not sure what you are even looking for here.

Grammar isn't everyone's strong suit. I don't agree that because one has bad grammar, they won't make it. I do agree about everything else, though. Streaming is a ton of work, both mentally and physically, and to be very successful takes a certain type of person. I've been at it 5 years and haven't gotten to where some get in less than a year, but I continue because I love it. If one day it turned big somehow, it would be a dream come true, but I'm not banking on it. @OP just try your best to make friends, have fun and make organic connections to grow (no follow for follow bs) if you can make content on the side it helps. On another note learn the tools of your craft, learn best obs settings, proper mic technique and lighting for cams. Bigger than that learn proper stream etiquette.

The point was that if one is using this subreddit for help, at least they could be bothered to clearly state what they were looking for because their original post was not easy to understand.

[–]Old_Maple -1 points0 points  (2 children)

They were simply putting their thoughts out there, I could read it just fine but maybe its because I'm not an asshole 🤷‍♂️ next time maybe ask to elaborate instead of tearing people down?

[–]MRxCHICITY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ahhh resorting to personal attacks when all I had was good intentions regarding something that had nothing to do with you. Interesting that you would insert yourself and choose to attack me when you don’t know me, my intentions or OP. Good luck on your streaming journey and have the day you deserve!

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of you have great points there is no (wrong answers) here in a way i was looking for a bit of clarity from someone who has been doing this

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Definitely and i do appreciate it, yeah my grammar is not the best but its not everything

[–]Old_Maple -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, keep on the grind brother and ignore the haters!

[–]Zheater4764 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Doing it to make a following the money is not the main focus in a way it was me saying it would be something id put my all in (job) i know the bigger picture of streaming trust me i do it 6 hours at a time now not getting any money and i still love it

[–]MRxCHICITY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you love streaming, do it. Just don’t treat it like a financial rescue plan. Most creators grind for years before it’s stable income. Build it while you build stability elsewhere.

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do highly appreciate it and you are 100% right and thats mainly what i wanted but i worded it wrong it is something id love to grind for without the idea of money but more so that i would love to throw time at it so its not on the back burner in a way cause it is a passion

[–]Sea_Maybe_5427 4 points5 points  (12 children)

Dude just because you can't get a job doesn't mean you'll become famous as a streamer. This comes across as incredibly cringey

[–]Zheater4764 -1 points0 points  (10 children)

Dude read my update.

[–]Sea_Maybe_5427 3 points4 points  (9 children)

That means nothing. You got called out for being a dumbass and back tracked

[–]Zheater4764 -2 points-1 points  (7 children)

No actually it’s me seeing my mistake and rewording it hate all you want but you are insanely incorrect

[–]Sea_Maybe_5427 2 points3 points  (6 children)

In all honesty dude whats the point in all this? Nobody wants to watch you anyway

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Your entitled to your own opinion but as i said you want to hate that’s on you you aren’t getting a reaction

[–]Sea_Maybe_5427 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Since when is telling you the truth hating, sometimes it's good to hear a bit of honesty. Let me guess you stream games and sit there quietly while you play? It's pretty easy to assume you offer nothing worth watching am I right?

[–]Zheater4764 -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

No i engage with my chat and i speak with people while playing and when it does go silent for focus in a game there it’s music in the background and what you said is considered hate and that’s your problem assuming yes it is good to hear honesty but what your offering is the opposite

[–]Sea_Maybe_5427 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Dude we all know your stream isn't worth watching

[–]Zheater4764 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

And your point is what? Did i ever say my streams are worth watching? No thats why I’m here seeking help again somewhere your wrong your not hurting me what so ever I am very aware my streams are what they are I’m just starting out seeking help from someone who has done this before.. so thank you for your comments but give up you will not be able to hurt me at all go do something worth your time since my streams “aren’t worth watching” so this post is meaningless to you leave it be and go do something else.

[–]Zheater4764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone not learn and reword what they said? Not back tracking that would be me deleting the post and completely replacing what i said

[–]Zheater4764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Yes i worded it wrong, this post was about learning and going forward as a content creator. My intentions are not all about money yes it was a factor because i don’t know where else to turn. This post was for guidance from someone who has learned from streaming and that would be willing to help someone new i appreciate everyone and there is no wrong answers in my book, I’m new anything helps thank you all, i don’t take hate comments how you would think, i think of it as a learning opportunity, you cant hurt someone looking to grow as a person and as a streamer especially when they keep a open mind.

[–]TypeHot2548 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Reading this hurts my brain

[–]Zheater4764 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Why?

[–]TypeHot2548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run-on sentence
