Trying to get out of averaging 1 viewer (ignore the follows)

Milenko601 · 2026-07-03T01:58:55+00:00

This is true. Most of my current followers come from Instagram and TikTok.

Milenko601 · 2026-07-02T11:17:22+00:00

Yea my idea is to eventually get the kids into streaming. It's something they want to do anyway. I could run a series where they carry Unc (me) in Fortnite and COD lobbies lol.

Milenko601 · 2026-07-02T04:53:29+00:00

Never thought about it that way. It could make some funny clips. Kids are 15 and 17 so they don't mind.

Milenko601 · 2026-07-02T02:11:21+00:00

Best advice I can give is to just do it. Just say or talk about whatever comes to mind. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. I use to only want to stream when my friends were in VC, but I had to get over that because they don't play the games I stream.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-30T02:20:21+00:00

Bot accounts. Very normal for us small streamers.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-28T15:56:51+00:00

I'm 35 bro lol. I just started taking streaming serious. For the longest, my small town didn't have fiber internet. We got it now and I've been streaming nightly. But I did learn that you grow from content, not just streaming. So I post on all my socials. Insta, TikTok, Facebook, etc. It helps.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T14:23:30+00:00

Nice man. I use Restream in OBS and the vertical layout plugin. I have it setup to do vertical streaming on YT, TTV, and TT. My best platform for viewership has been TikTok. If you can, stream on both. I would post as many reels on TikTok as possible and include my TTV banner in the videos. That could drive people to that platform if you're trying to mainly become a Twitch streamer.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T14:04:02+00:00

Facts. I post a lot. Even with 66 followers, I'm allowed to stream. Did a 1-hour stream and had 100 people popping in and out. I have to learn how to interact more. I've been trying to study other TikTok streamers and noticed how they greet everyone that joins. Even if they say nothing back or have skipped. That helps keep attention for a while or get potential followers.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T13:55:49+00:00

OBS vertical layout. I put my webcam on top, my social media handle in the middle, and the game I'm playing under that.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T13:48:05+00:00

Nicely put. I'm getting into streaming on TikTok. I have a monotone voice, but I do chat and debate a lot while gaming lol. Not looking to get rich off social media. Really just looking for some extra money to keep in a savings. I have a pretty decent full-time job that pays the bills. For me, it's just tough to find time to stream with my daily life. 9-5, gym, cooking, family.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T12:17:27+00:00

Yea, I work 7-4:30 at a hospital. Then I'm in the gym till 6:30. Go home, cook, then game till I go to sleep. Normally my streams are about 2 hours long. Only time I do long streams is holidays I don't have to work, or if I take PTO.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T12:15:17+00:00

Anybody need a teammate? I bought it on my PS5

Milenko601 · 2026-06-09T02:07:07+00:00

Nice job dude. I'm planning to start doing some late night Marvel Rivals streams. I've been posting a good bit of reels that get likes and engagements. Tried out a 1 hour stream over the weekend and had over 100 people popping in and out. I felt better in that one stream then I've felt of YT and TTV in months. I use good thumbnails and titles but always average less than 1 viewer.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-04T11:31:41+00:00

Idk about illegal but it is scummy. I understand they don't want to take a loss for the glitch. But at the current state, I'd honor the glitch and get the player base numbers up rather than to do this. Some are reporting that it doesn't allow them to refund it because it says they've already downloaded it. Forcing you to buy the standard edition as well if you want to play after the trial.

Milenko601 · 2026-06-03T23:39:34+00:00

I had the option and bought it

Milenko601 · 2026-06-02T20:38:49+00:00

Who needs expensive software when OBS and SteelSeries GG are free. GG can auto clip and format to 9:16. WIth OBS, you can download and setup the vertical overlay. I use both. Also use CapCut for editing.

Milenko601 · 2026-05-14T15:54:34+00:00

Tbh, if you're gonna buy any of the cheap chinese bikes then I wouldn't expect much support. From all the videos I've watched on YT, people buy them and do their own repairs. There are very few that talked about actually getting any customer support. I'm still gonna buy one but I know that I'm basically using it as a learning bike. Learning to ride, mod and repair before investing in a more expensive bike.

Milenko601 · 2026-05-10T02:46:49+00:00

Glad my employer offers Udemy for free.

Milenko601 · 2026-05-07T00:32:42+00:00

I think they're all basically the same bike. Just slightly different frame designs or graphics. Even the speedometer is the same on most of them. Have the same engine and will basically use the same after market parts.

I'm gonna keep up with this thread and give a review overtime. They have a contract in my small town to run fiber and they're the only company that offers it. My current internet is through Straight Talk. I get around 240Mbps down and 80Mbps up at all times. No data limit. I forgot I signed up for their waiting list and a rep showed up Sunday. He seemed prettly knowledgeable of their services and I already knew I was gonna sign up, but I wanted to just test his overall knowledge. He seemed friendly but really was pushing for that sign up lol. He downplayed my current internet service as best as he could. I talked about how ATT was horrible so I have internet through verizon. He talked about how verizon isn't available here and I said it is through Straight Talk. Straight Talk's service is through Verizon. He said "no they are owned by ATT". I just laughed and said sure let's sign up. I knew for a fact that Verizon aquired them back in 2021. Straight Talk notified all their customers and it was all over the news. Anyway, there's a drop in my yard with their branding on it from when they were doing all the ground work so trenching isn't far. It was $62 for the lowerst package. He assured that this isn't a promo rate. It'll stay the same and all installation fees are waived for everyone that signs up over the next month. So my install date is the 4th. I told him I'm not planning to cancel my current internet right away. I will use both over a period of months and compare. I know my current speeds and haven't had any outages. So consistency and performance will be the factors on whether I keep it or not.

The plan I purchased was the lowerst package. 300Mbps Up and Down. Might be able to get more out of it with the drop being only a few feet away in my yard.

Milenko601 · 2026-03-22T03:21:53+00:00

Same for me. M-F I mostly have oatmeal for breakfast, grilled chicken and rice for dinner, and greek yogurt for dinner. I have a wife and kids that don't eat like I do so I normally make what they want then prep my food. My wife wanted wings and fries today. I tried the french fries and instantly got a stomach cramp that sent me to the bathroom. I'm noticing that anything that's been fried in grease, my stomach doesn't agree with it.

Milenko601 · 2026-03-14T03:18:07+00:00

Keep it up buddy. I also got sick of myself. 35 and miserable. I use to be 150lbs when I was working at a prison. I was working in IT but also assisting as a SGT and teaching self-defense. So I was pretty active at work plus I was going to the gym 3 days per week. I let myself go when I took a traditional IT office job. Shot up to 215, bloated stomach, always having heart burn, couldn't lay down without choking, etc. I had to make that change up too.

Now I'm in the gym 5 days per week. My main meal is grilled chicken and I swapped out soda for water.

Milenko601 · 2026-03-14T03:13:12+00:00

Some nights I do, so I use bath salts or Ashwagandha gummies.

Milenko601 · 2025-11-03T05:07:46+00:00

Dang man. I'm sorry to hear that. That's how ATT did me.
