>>715494184 (OP)
russian roulette

Fnaf or the current most popular horror game

I'm a girl btw and I don't even care about your manosphere gamer culture, I just need some quick bucks alongside my OF

I'm not a livestreamer because livestreamers are all narcisists. Imagine pointing a camera at yourself and posting videos pretending you're important, for a hobby like gaming no less.

I wish there were more fat camgirls

fotm friendslop or live service game + tts donations so people can call you niggers + youtube embed donations so people can spam gay porn
whenever someone says or plays a no-no you have to act as seriously offended as possible so you don't get banned but also do nothing to prevent it from happening again
you also have to stream on a consistent schedule
you will be a circus monkey and no one will respect you except 10 year olds who think you're they're friends because they donated with mom's credit card
all this is to make less money than if you spent the same amount of time at a real job and you will never enjoy video games again

Nigga still thinks it's 2008. I'll pray for your soul OP

in society, the stigma of being fat hasnt gone away fully, unfortuanetly.

Whatever game you find fun. If a streamer is having fun then what's the point of watching them

>>715495406

Top kek I meant "isn't having fun"

The only way you have a chance in hell at making it as a steamer by playing games is to be one of the first to stream some multiplayer game that happens to go viral (I'm pretty sure Among Us kickstarted several large streamer's careers). Most streamers who happen to blow up in recent years have done it by:
1. Being friends with an already very famous streamer who shills their channel.
2. Spamming YouTube shorts where they act like retards until one of their clips goes viral.

Iron mon pokemon runs is your most frequent. Then you can throw variety in there if that's what you want to do.

Feel like that's the easiest community to get into. The most boring streamers get an automatic 100 viewers

Dark Souls.

Probably dominated by speedrunners and challenge runners

This. Its even worse that he was fucking lying to everyone and only got fat as a fucking publicity stunt that dragged on for too long.

Play (You)r favorites. Bonus points if they're obscure. Extra bonus points if they're actually good games.
Avoid prime mainstream shit like the plague. Especially games with oneitis-infected viewers like League of Legends or Minecraft, because the moment you pivot away from those games you'll lose 99% of your audience.
If you're absolutely serious about streaming as a hobby and a potential career (don't expect to make it a job right away), you NEED to be consistent. Have a schedule, and get accustomed to streaming at least 3-4 times a week.

>>715500516
this. Find your niche, and STICK to it.

>>715494184 (OP)
it all depends on 4 things
>how appealing your voice is
>how appealing your face is
>how knowleadgable you are about the subject of your streams
you can pay someone else for the last one and focus on the first 2
if you are browsing /v/, your chances are that you have an awful voice and even uglier face, which is the sadder part, is that you are one of the uncharismatic fatties.

unironically how 99% of female gamer streamers and vtrooners think
need to build up that personal army somehow

If I did this I feel like I could get somewhere. Unfortunately I can't warrant streaming that much if no one is watching. Yes I know, Catch-22. I put a lot of focus on YouTube since that's something that people can check out whenever and editing eats up so much time. I also don't want to build up a massive backlog of footage. My flow is Multi-stream to compilation style Let's Plays to Clips. I have 3 clips a week scheduled until September and a backlog of footage that I need to extract clips from that will probably fill out the rest of the year. Unfortunately the clips channel gets absolutely no views whatsoever. It's rare, but I occasionally upload something other than a Let's Play on the main channel. I did a Post-Series Review on Mega Man 1 that I posted here not too long ago that people enjoyed.

Here's one of my favorite clips

Reminder that you NEED to viewbot if you want to get viewers on Twitch.
All the big streamers did/do this.

Vinesauce didn't do it, but he is ancient

>Vinesauce didn't do it
Dude fucking spammed his channel here like crazy just for advertisement, he for sure did viewbot when he's a snake doing everything for views.

A porn game that only gets R18 if you lose. Something like Ayura Crisis

>>715502715
There are youtube channels that do this that also gatekeep the game names through patreon lol. People unironically pay for that shit.

>>715501031
You can be an ugly fatty and still be successful (see CaseOh). Charisma goes a long way.

>>715503491
Letting children openly mock you =/= charismatic.

the new donkey kong, but say youre a donkey kong lore streamer

Impossible to become a variety streamer today. It's very oversaturated
1. Leeching method: You have to leech from popular streamers if you want a chance.
2. Essaytuber method. Be a good speaker and good video editor. Promote your essay gaming garbage and pray that it pop off. Once you build up a fanbase, you can try streaming.
3. Skill method: If you're like really good (like top 0.1%) at competitive games like Valorant/CS/Dota/LoL/etc. Or you're like a speedrunner of a specific game, you'll gradually build your own fanbase. It depends on the popularity of the game though.

>You have to leech from popular streamers if you want a chance.
What's with the negative terminology? I guess networking is considered leeching now? Networking is how you get anywhere in a field that involves providing a service or entertainment for other people, regardless if it's a hobby or a job.

>>715505318
Call me crazy, but I would never be able to befriend and just hang out with someone for the sole purpose of just trying to "boost my own career"
But then again I never understood the whole "networking" crap, most networking you get is on your current jobs and shit, not just randomly talking to people.

I'm about to hit 1 year streaming next week. Expect to have 0-5 views for a long time. You probably won't have any donations for a long time as well, just got my first last month. I'm going to stick to it for a few years and see what happens.
Link if anyone's interested. Going live tomorrow https://www.youtube.com/live/BGOkD86WWvA?si=t1XbSdKxdaJEa75s

>>715505318
Because your original intent is to be another streamer, and not just the streamer friend. It's leeching, plain and simple.
Twitch whores did this all the time before vtuber was a thing. They join pub stars or pro/ex pro player party/stack, they use exaggerated voice and moans all the time to build up their name.
Once they got popular enough, they leave the stack forever.

>>715505895
You can network yourself without also being a massive faggot. Obviously there's going to be those type of people, but you can accomplish the same thing without throwing others under the bus once you don't need them anymore.

>>715504797
Pretty accurate honestly

>>715505318
>I guess networking is considered leeching now?
I think there's an EXTREMELY fine line between Networking and Leeching. Honestly I'd much rather form a genuine friendship, but networking kind of muddies those waters unless both people start from nothing.
