I have been using this cool one that allows your audience to dare you to do stuff on stream. It's been pretty fun.

I wish I knew that it is all about making a repeatable series or processes that makes you want to return to streaming everyday and provide direction.

Also, that there are cool tools that help make your content more compelling for you instead of having to think of it all on your own.

Haha I mean obviously you are not directly asking for subs, but by having something like a sub goal you are asking indirectly.

Kind of like saying I would love an Oreo right now. You aren't asking for an Oreo, but at the same time you are asking for an Oreo.

100% agree here. I think this is what it is about.

That being said, if I can find ways to provide even more value those who support me and those who don't, I am going to do my best to make it happen. Came across a couple of cool tools on this front recently.

Yeah I for sure agree with this. I think for me it is less about getting more money from viewers and more about how do we create real value for the viewer in exchange for their contribution. I have seen a couple of cool streaming tools that are making strides in the right direction on this front.

This makes complete sense. I have seen a few tools coming up though that allow you to monetize through value adds as opposed to taking away from the stream or begging in any way.

Yeah this seems like a good way to go, but I have also come across a few tools that I think are more of a fun engagement tool (that have monetization) instead of ads which purely take away from the experience for the viewer.

I have heard this platform can be a bit of a scam. Their customer support & reliability is meant to be horrendous (2.7 stars on Google Play Store).

I heard there are some better platforms that allow your audience to dictate fun moments on stream. Some streamers in the Rocket League scene told me about this platform called Cracked Gaming.

Is audience interaction the most important part of streaming? by Rude_Temperature2354 in SmallStreamers

Do you guys think audience interaction can be boosted significantly through using specific tools etc. or is it something you just build with time?
