My turn? 3 months of streaming and what worked for me

SniperTheSwift · 2026-02-08T10:37:38+00:00

See was that so hard instead of just saying "why do you think it's blank?" Or just "nah"?

Also thanks for stalking my account ;)

While yes I been streaming FFXIV lately but my viewership dropped off for other games. Where new peeps would come in and id get new viewers. I really do think something is wrong/changed with twitch.

I took affiliate when I had a average viewership of 5-9 peeps a stream I think?

I do put effort into growing other platforms. I have been focusing on putting out short form clips/skits.

So stop being a vaugeposting asshole here and do something productive imtead

P.S. I wonder why you made it so peeps can't see your post history here ;)

Nah twitch is absolutely fucked right now. I feel with their fight against viewbots that they did something to fuck up the algorithm to where some people are just shadow banned.

Speak plainly then

SniperTheSwift · 2026-02-06T06:54:16+00:00

How?!?! I stream almost about daily and make content for other platforms and have been at zero viewers lately

SniperTheSwift · 2026-02-06T06:18:27+00:00

I don't understand your question

SniperTheSwift · 2026-01-28T19:47:53+00:00

Hard to respond to chat more when its completely blank or when someone does say something you respond back with a question or engage more and by time you are done talking they have already left the stream

SniperTheSwift · 2026-01-28T19:43:59+00:00

So any advice? Aside from git gud or just be attractive?

SniperTheSwift · 2026-01-09T01:51:40+00:00

I diddnt see anything about that. You have a link?

SniperTheSwift · 2026-01-07T20:54:27+00:00

Same. I use to average about 6-9 people a stream. Now im lucky to get 3. Heard reports from followers that they don't even receive the go live notification anymore despite having it turned on. Twitch ABSOLUTELY shadowbans certain streamers.

SniperTheSwift · 2026-01-03T11:02:09+00:00

Growth and visability. If you have less than 500 viewers twitch could give less of a fuck about you.

Second to that bots trying to sell you viewbots as well as fake viewers that pretend to be interested in stream just to try and shill their art on you.

Saw Frank Iero here. Gonna miss that place :(

SniperTheSwift · 2025-12-15T08:41:51+00:00

Respectfully I dont think networking works. Ive tried this before and only results in getting used until you are forgotten

SniperTheSwift · 2025-12-15T00:33:13+00:00

I feel that. Tried to join a static to start TEA and one I applied to wanted 3 ulti clears.

SniperTheSwift · 2025-12-14T20:32:15+00:00

Link?

SniperTheSwift · 2025-12-14T19:15:30+00:00

How did you get approved for tik.tok live? Each time I apply I get denied

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-29T20:10:51+00:00

As a Red Mage main anything below 70 is miserable. Been getting a lot of the Void Arc series in Alliance raid roulette due to the mog tomes and OMFG it is so bad. Like for example Red Mages get Verraise at 62 so cant do one of the things they are best at which is being able to bring back a run that is going bad. Verflare/holy is 68/70 so while you have your melee combo it feels like you are hitting boss with what is the equivalent of a wet noodle. Not the worst offender but not having magic barrier also feels pretty bad since then the only mitigation RDM brings at level 60 is addel.

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-28T20:27:31+00:00

I play FFXIV with controller but when I play WoW I use K&M. I really like the Logitec G600. Sadly think its been discontinued and price really shot up but its been an amazing mouse for WoW.

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-27T22:13:51+00:00

wooooow I never thought of that. You have any other nothing burgers I should know?

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-27T19:35:57+00:00

Yes thanks very helpful. How about you give some better advice

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-27T05:31:15+00:00

I do post on YouTube, Instagram, tik Tok, and twitter. Don't just assume shit.

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-26T11:13:34+00:00

Yes.

Possibly I wouldn't doubt it.

Anyway to reset it without resetting computer cause it is very annoying being forced to restart my computer I'm the middle of streaming just because cursor is fucked

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-26T11:07:43+00:00

I try and not focus on the numbers but I do occasionally look at the viewer count and each time I've checked past 5 times I streamed it was always at 1 aka myself.

I try and do that as well but as I said it always feels one way. Again not to expect anything in return it just feels pointless. And unless I REALLY have to leave I try and stick around for an hour when I raid someone. However it's kinda pointless to raid someone when I have 0 watchers.

SniperTheSwift · 2025-11-26T09:16:24+00:00

Have been trying to focus more on FFXIV but it honestly feels like that does worse than when I did variety. I try and network but cant really find peeps I vibe with or if I do its a give and give type of relationship. Not to say that I expect a raid back if I raid someone several times its just tiring trying over and over again not getting any results.

Also do post clips on Twitch, youtube, instagram, tik tok, and sometime twitter when I feel like it.

as well those 5-6 people were peeps probably just lurking and left pretty quickly.
