At least you have a job.
quit your job and get better friends

have a nice day.
I wonder how much an average Twitch streamer makes if you break it down.
You have to be like top 0.1% in viewer count on Twitch to make any worthwhile amount of money.
even having a few hundred viewers is good. a couple thousand is amazing. sure you aren't a millionaire but you're well off and not in the cage.
Having 100 viewers puts you in the top 1% or higher of Twitch streamers. There are literally millions of people streaming with 0-1 viewers, and some of them could be genuinely entertaining but no one will ever find them because Twitch's discoverability sucks. These days you have to be a "content creator" and start on youtube/twitter or whatever where growth is possible (assuming your content is actually good) and then move over to streaming more once you already have followers.
I usually go the other way around. I find em on twitch then check their YouTube videos. YouTube is better for non vidya streaming discoverability.
Huh, good point I guess
100 or so doesn't sound like a lot but like you said discoverability sucks and you need to be doing more than just appearing on twitch.
It can be hard to break into if you have no other skillsets I guess you're right.
Difference between twitch and youtube is what happens when not live
It's even fricking more than that, according to my stats i'm in the top 0.1% and I only make like $300 a month from streaming.
Luckily I also have a job so it's just a nice boost.
>top 0.1%
>posting on Ganker
If you don't out right tell me what your channel is I will assume you're Jerma
bro i only have 100 average viewers I'm not some superstar.
You really are just underestimating how many 1view streamers are out there.
>He streams FFXIV
Supposedly going for ad sales is moronic in twitch as a streamer. That you're better off not doing twitch monetization and doing it yourself through patreon and superchat type shit. Plus if you're not monitized you can stream multiple places simultaneously.
yeah if you are some idiot who thinks he needs to be a millionaire to be happy, you can make a livable income with only a few hundred subs
it takes time to build but once you're over the threshold you can dedicate more time and effort into it to keep increasing those numbers
Average? Jack fricking shit.
there are many successful, even top streamers that are older than 30 anon. if you gave a frick, you would work for it yourself and try your luck. instead you're just a b***h pitying yourself. frick you dude
Yeah being old is actually a plus here. Nobody wants to watch a squeaky zoomer, unless he streams some genuinely interesting stuff
You at least needs to be entertained to watch. That means pulling jokes and dont bore the audience.
a little jealous autists and adhd people are popular as content creators.
Just reconnect with old friends or make new ones. Streaming isn't fun, there's pressure to act a certain way and it's very fricking gay compared to just having the boys over for some vidya pizza and beer on a Friday or Saturday
For me, Connordawg is a perfect streamer, even if you dislike it:
>rotate games
>play with other streamers, including vtubers
>have chemistry with them
>can pull jokes and take them
Rotating FOTM and forcing collabs is gay, but unironically. You're playing into the twitch meta and not your own person.
>b-but you have to if you want to be successful
Mega cope.
Sounds good if you're into that but I don't watch streamers. Me and my friends streamed together for a while and it was alright but it wasn't as fun as just hanging out for the sake of hanging out, that's all I'm saying
I only watch when it is a bunch of guys playing together and having a type of fun that I cant have because my friends are fricking normies that don't play vidya
Comparison is the thief of joy. Turn youtube off don't live through other people.
buy a rope anon.
get out and meet people, go to a bar or hobby shop and shoot the shit, once you're amoung other human beings you'll see you really aren't uniquely autistic or a horrible person to talk to at all, you're just another schlub like every body else, you might even meet a girl and have sex
>meeting frickable women at hobby shops
lmao dude snap back to reality
You'd really rather work in a place like this?
Streaming and eSports has become a soulless 9-5 corporate job too
>30 years old
>still has the mentality of a teenager
Sad!
Office work can be soul crushing, there's no shortage of grown ass men wanting to escape it.
Buy a Webcam and start doing chicken dances on cam for every single subscription (if ever)
I've come to realise that I hate Twitch chats.
They're some of the most insufferable online personalities I've ever seen.
they all make clickbaity jootube videos for ad revenue
That's because they're not allowed to stream to YouTube and YouTube sucks for vidya streaming but it's better for clips. So they stream twitch and clip em down for YouTube
>30yo boomer
That's not a thing. You weren't born in the baby boom after WWII.
Boomer colloquially means something different when people say it now. It started as a meme, kids just calling anyone older than them "boomers" as a sign of disregard.
Look on the brightside OP, if those streamers ever get in a situation where they need to get a real job unless they are pokimane or some shit their resume is gonna be completely blank.
You over estimate how not desperate companies are. I have a 2 year gap, I can get 20/hrs right now if I stop ignoring my (technically) employers calls
20$/hr
You might have a 2 year gap but you at least have some experience and skills that can get you employed. An average twitch streamer's resume would have frick all.
Most streamers don't act like how they truly are. They put on an act that makes them more entertaining to be around
Just accept that females live on easy mode like Penguin did to cope
Here's a fun fact for you all: There are more streamers than viewers on twitch
thats pretty fricking funny if true
My niece has a twitch and she tells me people treat twitch more like a social media than a streaming platform.
I'm tired of it. I just want to make something with someone. I'm tired of seeing my friends resubbing to blizzshit over and over again every expansion, just grinding to the new max level, quitting before raids, and complaining about how it's "totally dead this time, never resubbing". Am I wrong for getting bored of them? Nobody does anything IRL, highschool and college are long over, and this kind of friendship just feels hollow.
Get new hobbies and find people engaged in it or just look for new friends who feel passionate.
You don't have to abandon your old friends but they sound like they're turning into real life hollows dude, don't fall into it too, some people can't be saved.
>a 30yo
>watching streamers
sometimes I like to go on 0 viewers streams and post the most incomprehensible things just to see how they react, knowing full well their brain is laser focused on grabbing my attention and getting me to stay for as long as possible.
Stop being a dumb millennial b***h you dicksucking homosexual moron.
