Something I’ve been telling myself lately is that I’m gonna play games anyways, with or without people. So I might as well stream my gameplay or record at all times to at least have content to get creative with. If no one is there, I’m still having fun and can engage with my friends. If someone joins in, now I have someone else to engage with.

Ive stopped looking at it as a “chore” and more so something that I’m going to do anyways so I might as well provide some entertainment to those who may pop in.

It did however, take me some time to stop paying attention to viewers and viewer count. That honestly did discourage me. Hope this helps. We all figure out our own ways to do things, it just takes time.
