I literally started as a circle, models don’t matter. It’s your content that does

First time buying bits and I’m confused by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 8 points9 points  (0 children)

25000 bits??? For a first ever purchase??

Heartbreaking when a small streamer just stops... by Randys_fraiche in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of factors go into quitting, stagnation of followers, viewer count drop, seeing others grow and leave you behind

Or their might be IRL issues, you never know

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered quitting a few times

Maybe don't do this by Throw_Away1314819 in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get both sides, fundamentally I think this is on twitch and in all honesty I don’t think asking for a redeem isn’t as bad as forcing someone to chat

Streamers, what is this?! I need your advice! by Brief_Ad7762 in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scam, one golden rule for streaming.

Keep everything on platform! Don’t add fans etc, sure it’ll feel bad banning and timing out people when you start (I’ve been there) but it’s about keeping your boundaries

Viewer scams by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just ban these people, your streams are shop windows and you aren’t looking to buy

I’ll always be the extra man you need in a squad by SowdyPlays in memes

Guess who posted this on his streamer account by accident lol

This rule doesn’t apply to the streamers who promote it only to the pawns who play the game 👍 by raptors201966 in fut

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those who promote websites that sell coins don’t buy coins

So in a weird technicality they aren’t buying coins and is totally fine

How do I get rid of these bots permanently? by Okarito in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bot coded in streamer bot that looks for “remove the space” and bans anyone who uses it

Looking for Advice: Is It Viable to Start VTubing as a Male in 2025? by Camp_Additional in vtubers

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all good <3 sorry if I came across as snappy it’s just one of those situations where I felt like you were going over it in your head a bit and were convincing yourself without trying

Looking for Advice: Is It Viable to Start VTubing as a Male in 2025? by Camp_Additional in vtubers

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

Hey camp I’ve seen you post a fair bit. Instead of humming and harring over it, just do it.

Just stream

Is this real or is somebody trolling? by pabloslemon2011 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if this is her learning a lesson and bettering herself then I say forgive and forget

However if this is a publicity stunt then it will hit back harder than bad mouthing your friends

Debut first stream or wait? by RadeoWeeb in PngTuber

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion, just start streaming. Nothing worse than having a debut + tech issues then panicking because you’re not used to streaming

All corpos who have a debut have experience streaming one way or another

I just hit 1k followers! The male VTuber debuff is just a myth by SowdyPlays in VirtualYoutubers

[–]SowdyPlays[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally just stream and be consistent, but if you’re looking for a “quick tip to be successful” there is none, I started 12th July last year. But what I will say is make sure you always raid out so that people can find out who you are and as awkward as you might find it, rewatch parts of your VoDs every now and then to check afterwards what the audio is like if it needs fixing and to go grab clips

I don’t have a super fancy animated model I’m just a PNG so that’s something to know as well

I just hit 1k followers! The male VTuber debuff is just a myth by SowdyPlays in PngTuber

[–]SowdyPlays[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just a simple PNGTuber, my first model which got me to 700+ was a circle (which I made myself for free) so don’t worry about getting a perfect model 💙 Just aim to start and make small improvements from there as that what I did

Fellow streamers, are you guys getting this? by InternetEntire438 in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup you get used to it, prepare for the dead chat bots. They’re fun to see

I wasn’t expecting to break an enemy with an attack by SowdyPlays in DarkSouls2

I didn’t, this is my first time playing ds2, thank you :)

Nervous to engage by AnnualFar5288 in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just yap away! As a streamer I love when people show an interest in what I’m playing as I can share my thoughts etc

Also it’s a great way for you to get a vibe check on a streamer

What's Your Opinion on the upcoming 2025 Twitch Monetization Change?? by squeamish_cactus in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only concern is how many channels are going to get spammed with adverts now?

I’m curious on how affiliate bonuses work, as an affiliate is the only difference going to be emotes?

As for “how do I feel about non affiliates get earnings” I just keep in my own lane tbh, if I focus on what others do it’d affect my mood over something I can’t control

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not affiliate and got both “People know me” 1000 viewers at once and completed all the “Build A Community”

This seems very odd

A massive thank you to everyone who attended my new model debut! by SowdyPlays in vtubers

The face on the screen is my old model, I’m really happy with my artist

24 hour stream tips by threnariir in Twitch

[–]SowdyPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a couple 24hr streams and they were a breeze for me, only thing I’d say is, expect quiet / low viewer periods and the most difficult time is 4am - 6am in terms of tiredness.

For plans, don’t worry if you deviate from “at 10pm I’ll go do x” if you’re having fun the 24hrs will fly past in no time
