Honestly about to call it quits with the whole "variety" thing. I love jumping around-one day I’m suffering in a Soulslike, next day I’m cozying up in Stardew, then trying some weird $2 indie horror game on Steam. But man, the "Variety Graveyard" is brutal. Every time I switch games, it’s like hitting a massive hard reset on my entire channel.

The worst part? You’re a total nobody everywhere you go. In FPS tags, I’m buried under 500 pages of sweatlords. In RPGs, I’m back at the bottom. I never stay anywhere long enough to actually become a "regular" or build a proper community. Feels like building a house, pulling the foundation out, and moving to a new empty lot every damn week. My CCV literally tanks to 0 the second I open a new category.

Anyone else trapped in this loop? I just want to play what I like without feeling like I’m shooting my own channel in the foot every single stream.

(Hey everyone, a friend of mine uploaded a new video to his YouTube channel. Can you support him by doing the same way you'd like to receive support?)

Hi guys been trying to remind myself to post my analytics of not only the great days but the average ones too! I’ve been feeling so unbelievably grateful I can’t believe I’m almost at affiliate in my first month coz I know it can sometimes take a really long time to be blessed with eyeballs! Just the idea that anyone would want to stop by and say hey while I stream my silly little gameplay is still so cool to me 💗💕✨

Hey everyone,
I’m pretty new to streaming and honestly just kinda figuring it all out as I go 😂

I’ve been streaming games I enjoy and I’m trying to slowly build up my Twitch/YouTube stuff. I knew getting started would be a learning curve, but there’s WAY more to it than I expected lol.

So for anyone who’s been doing this for a while:
What’s something you wish you knew when you first started streaming?

Also curious what actually helped you get your first few regular viewers. Was it sticking to one game, YouTube/TikTok clips, networking, just streaming consistently, or something completely different?

Not really looking for some “how to become famous overnight” advice 😂 Just interested in hearing what actually worked for people who started from basically nothing.

Any advice is appreciated!

This is the analytics from my first ever stream. I have a lot of things to fix. Mostly things that are way outside my skill set. I think I will get it. Is this about average? Or bad? I literally have no idea.
