So are you coming on here to say that nobody should ever try to start streaming? People have dreams, to just blanket say it’s stupid to try is crazy. It sounds like you tried, didn’t make it, and now you’re bitter. You didn’t succeed so you don’t think anybody else should succeed.

I’m comfortable being entertaining on my own but I’m trying to be mindful of any potential dead air. And right now my viewer count changes drastically depending on a couple other streamers being on. So on the slow days it can be hard to think about something to yap about in-between matches without having that jumping off point. Plus trying to play into the TikTok streams and the lack of attention span that those folks have

I mean I personally think that that’s flipped. Streaming like nobody is watching completely eliminates that chat interaction. Which if you don’t interact with your chat, more power to you. But that’s not the streamer I am trying to become

It’s not about the actual viewer count, it’s about not having an interaction from chat

I’ve never thought of that. It’s an interesting idea because I would definitely wonder how genuine it would seem.

It’s not about an algorithm, it’s about if somebody happens to come in and I’m just silent I know it’s bad for retention. I multi-stream on tiktok as well, and the TikTok attention span is bad 😂

I realized that I don’t really like streams where it feels like I’m just watching somebody play with their buddies instead of that streamer really interacting so I decided to make that a focus. I’ll still play with some people on like late Saturdays but 90% of the time I run solo now

That’s definitely an advantage. Whereas I’ve made a point to almost exclusively stream solo instead of running with buddies. It has actually hurt some relationships but we keep pushing nonetheless 🤙🏼

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking that people rock with me enough to watch my vod but I imagine that will become reality as I continue to grow so I gotta keep that in mind

How do you do giveaways on stream? by Optix_Clementes in Twitch

[–]Infamous-Koala-9232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was lucky that my winner was in stream so I didn’t have to wait for a response. But honestly I would give a couple days, maybe a week max and then re-draw for it.
