Thread 718023732

Did you ever try streaming a video game and if so how did it go?

No but I tried making some videos. They got a very positive reception but ultimately didn't reach too many people

yeah i've been flipping it on occasionally just for shits and giggles

the stream is permanently at 1 viewer but I think it counts the broadcaster

lots of viewbot ad spam, occasionally someone will start participating in your chat, you might even engage with them, then after a couple messages they try to sell you artwork for emotes

pretty much the only two forms of viewers you'll get

I do enjoy banning them

I got a viewer and he talked in chat so I got nervous and quit.

>>718023732 (OP)
i don't have the streamer attitude
i thought about being a vtuber though, not those anime types. my voice seems fine enough.

waaaay back in the day on Justin.tv I streamed MGS for a bit on a variety stream channel named "vidyagaemsne1" or something similar to that. I didn't have a mic and the stream was basically dying (which is why they let me stream on it in the first place, I was a regular int he chat at the time).

I also made some For Honor YT vids when that game was new, had 3 vids with 1,000 views each, the other vids barely got anything. I liked making them, but got frustrated with For Honor and stopped playing.

>>718023732 (OP)
I stream pretty often, but I'm sick this week

it can be a little hard mentally but it's fun to hang out with your chat and I'm slowly making some friends with other vtubers recently

https://www.twitch.tv/harumizukich

>>718024289
after a couple of back and forth messages he would've been like "haha yeah that's cool. Anyway I'm an artist and I do a lot of kickass artwork for twitch streamers. I can make you emotes, an avi, or a banner and it's guaranteed to grow your stream. My instagram is xxxgayfaggotxxx you should check it out. Okay gotta go!"

>>718023732 (OP)
Haven't streamed in a long while. Trying to finish 2 projects before I start shifting priorities towards streaming. About half way done. Although, I was given a key and I should probably stream in the next week or two despite being given nearly two months to do it. Usually no one watches, but there is someone who will show up every now and then and he seems to enjoy the streams, so that's cool. I don't mind if no one watches though. I always stream with the intention of uploading an edited version, so I try my best to commentate throughout the whole stream even if no one is around.

>>718024449
>lurking a stream
>see this happening in real time
Some streamers are starting to learn but man those fags can draw it on forever before they try to jew the streamer.

>>718023732 (OP)
I streamed my first and only completion of Pantheon of Hollownest from my PS4 with no mic or camera and I was very happy 7 people got to witness it.

>>718023732 (OP)
I was really good (easily a top 10 player) at a certain competitive videogame once and could easily pull 30+ viewers that wanted to watch pro gameplay.
Struggle to break 0-2 viewers on any other game tho. I probably am not too entertaining personality wise, and I also don't think it's particularly fun.

>>718023732 (OP)
I remember streaming spyro 2 once, and a guy told me about pressing all the back buttons. cool dude

>>718024403
Cute fag voice.

>>718024403
like clockwork

i streamed an ffa match for aoe2 once

>>718023732 (OP)
I reached 11 concurrent viewers and it gave me a panic attack and deleted the channel

>>718027001
but you were ok with 10?

>>718023732 (OP)
I used to stream FFXIV for my friends which extended to my entire server.
When my channel started spreading to beyond my server I stopped doing it because I started getting weird freaks trying to interact with me in-game transferring to my server and shit.

Parasocial shit is gay af I'm not your friend nor do I want to be your friend random dude on the internet I share 1 interest with.

Back when stickam was a thing I would stream stuff I was playing just for the hell of it.
Used to love the old streams /v/ had, especially of the guy that was a Zelda 2 expert and just dropped tons of history on the release in America and the competition around it

>risk of rain 2 early access
>there's like 10 people playing it on twitch
>one of them is a japanese guy
>0 viewers
>ask if I can play with him
>he answers "No." in chat
>bans me from the stream
>ends the stream
t-thanks

no, never
should i?

I stream myself playing games in Japanese as I look up words in order to learn them. No one has ever watched.

>>718028354
In theory it sounds fun, but also sounds extremely slow. How long have you been doing it and how much have you learned so far?

>>718024449
I immediately blocked and reported a faggot who did that in mine.

>>718023732 (OP)
I used to run ads for my streams years ago
I stuck with it for a few years and got some regulars, met some new friends
Now I'm focused on other stuff but occasionally I'll go live and some of em come back to hang out, which is what I wanted out of it in the first place
Sometimes I miss the early streams when it was just me, the game and the guy in my chat from /v/ who would spam "NO VIEWERS QUIT STREAMING" kek

>>718028525
I've been learning Japanese for five years but have only been streaming for 6 months. It's not that slow at this point, I usually only have to look up a word every few sentences and I use OCR so it doesn't take long for look-ups

>>718023732 (OP)
I streamed P.T. about 2 years ago, I got like 12 viewers, surprisingly. No mic or cam, just played normally.

>>718028354
link your channel

>>718028740
Neat. How did you start learning? Genki, vidya, flash cards?

>>718023732 (OP)
I used to stream myself playing PSO and had like maybe 15 viewers. I switched to Ultima Online and had 0 viewers again and decided to stop.

it was terrible, tried it for a genshin promotion to get free primo gems
basically just a thing for popular streamers and the hours of footage i put up was worthless

>>718028973
I followed a picture guide that someone posted on /v/ in like 2019. Read Tae Kim grammar guide, did Core 2k flashcards, then started mining words from easy manga and then started playing games.

>>718024403
>>718024403
>>718024403
Fuck off with your incessant shilling.

You realize we can search the image hash to find out it's you every time, right?

BUY AN AD. STOP POLLUTING MY BOARD.

I never had any aspirations of being a streamer but my friend wanted to watch my playthrough of Dark Souls 2, so I streamed it for him. During that playthrough a few people actually tuned in and watched. After I was done I realized I was actually quite close to hitting the requirements to become an affiliate, so I got my friend who had a modest sized audience at the time to shout me out to hit the follower and watch time requirements. I did that just so I can get my own emote, so now I have my own emote of my face on twitch and I haven't streamed since. I'm honestly surprised they havent revoked my affiliate status lol.

>play game
>go live because I can
>dont care about viewers
>get free shitposting emotes

>>718029102
Just report the channel, that's what I do.

>>718023732 (OP)
I've started and stopped streaming multiple times because I always get stressed out when my average view count goes over 30~
Once it hits that point I just delete the channel, wait a year or two, then start again pretending to be an entirely different person

>>718029349
you're a schizo, but also it's what i would do

>>718023732 (OP)
Nah 2spooky4me what if the internet is mean.

>>718029349
To what end?

Yeah I’ve been streaming privately to YouTube and act like I’m actually entertaining a crowd for years now.
No I won’t let anyone watch.

>>718029518
Can I watch the vods?

>>718029498
It's fun streaming to a small audience but bigger ones are just stressful

Does streaming games just for your friends count? I've done that a bunch both via Twitch and Discord/Skype/MSN.

>>718024373
There was a Japanese vtuber with a Capybara avatar that had a fantastic voice, but it's certainly a niche market.

>>718023732 (OP)
No

>really bad at english
>can't really talk and play at the same time
>painfully average at games
>don't play any modern games

>>718023732 (OP)
Yes, but I noticed I lost like 20+ FPS and stopped immediatly. Fuck that.

>>718025519
ty but please don't call me that!
>>718026037
>>718029102
not me, I imagine these threads predate me

>>718029570
no. but I’m tempted to get some ai chatbots so I can read comments and interact with them. Should be possible by now right

>>718029349
how did you get to 30 viewers?

>>718029242
Actual cringe demon kind of based.

>>718029349
I feel that, I typically made friends with a lot of people who were watching me. It turned into a situation where a lot of people were watching me because we were friends and they wanted to know what I was up to and I just feel entirely overwhelmed by how many people are simultaneously trying to talk to me at the same time even when I wasn't streaming.
I'm just not a social guy even if people like my playlists/personality.

>>718029670
I imagine mostly because I have a generically deep/clear voice, and most of my autist behaviour stays in my head
My channels usually last 1-3 years before I abandon them so it's not like it happens fast

Sure, tried streaming a couple of games I really enjoy but generally have a low viewer count.
I think I managed to get like.. 3-4 unique viewers in total, none of them stuck around for too long but one of them did write in the chat for a bit, made me realize how hard it is to actually focus on a game and the chat at the same time.
I also feel like reading every bit of dialogue I came across in Fo2 out loud helped with my pronunciation.
Anyways, I guess it isn't for me anyways, I'd have to be drunk to be able to keep babbling about nonsense for hours on end, can't even fathom how some people manage to do that shit daily for 6+ hours, but I guess it makes sense that you just push yourself to do it and get more comfortable with it when it's your meal ticket.

>>718029620
It's very funny that your advertisement is in every single one of those threads coincidentally.
How do you think you can manage to lie when I just demonstrated that this is publicly available information?
Buy an advertisement and stop flooding the board.

>>718023732 (OP)
I streamed playing Touhou for the first time and some Umihara Kawase years ago, some of my friends and acquaintances watched. It was fun. Sadly I couldn't continue doing it with more games.

>>718023732 (OP)
it is generally a good time. i'd do it more often but it tires me out.

>>718023732 (OP)
i used to stream and say dumb edgy shit and i would get 25-30 viewers but im sure i would get banned for the shit that i say nowadays

>>718024403
Haru my beloved...

what kind of panels did you have on your channel page?

im bad at games now

I'm convinced the secret is to make youtube shorts to get a bigger audience fast, literal trash concent in mass

I've contemplated streaming and think it'd even be ideal for some games that have a lot of downtime like Hunt Showdown, where I love the fights but everything between them is kind of boring, but starting out with zero viewers and talking to myself sounds awkward as fuck and I'd be mortified if a friend ever found my unsuccessful channel.

>>718031935
Share it with them rather than hiding to eliminate the cringe factor then you're just a friend who's trying out streaming.

im not the only one who pretends to stream when gaming right

ehm, is this on?

>>718032187
Nah. I talk to myself like a chat is there to hear me. There is no stream there is no chat. If anyone saw me doing it I'd be committed the same day.

im pretty sure streaming fucks with my internet and game hit reg.

even on fibre optic

>>718024886
seen it happen live too, scammer got pissed when he got told no and started calling the streamer a sad boring man, but somehow didn't go mask off.
at the time I thought it was just some dumb kid that genuinely thought he was doing people a favor

weirder still are the automated spambots advertising free viewers that zalgo it up to get past filters
who even clicks on those? you couldn't get more sketchy if you tried, yet they still keep coming. someone out there has to be biting often enough for scammers to think it worthwhile

I'm not interesting enough to stream, and no 2d/3d model can fix that. Thought about doing it again for friends and show my progress for fighting games.

>>718032784
>who even clicks on those?
there are no shortage of idiots and children on the internet who will click on anything

I used to get aggressive with the scammers on my stream and call them out before they could even fully launch into their script

>>718032943
why didnt he just take a shit

>>718023732 (OP)
yeah, not very good lol

>>718032989
Nothing more terrifying than an internet badass.

>>718027984
shouldve spammed engrish onry

I remember when streaming was barely even a thing, and you could actually post links to your stream on here, I did it a couple times(on fucking livestream.com of all places. Is that shit still around?) and got like 50 viewers from here. I was just playing random NES/SNES games on my emulator and took requests from people who had games they wanted me to try out. Did it for a few hours each time. It was nice and comfy.

>>718033185
I used to do it too.

I also streamed movies

>>718032989
I don't think they're necessarily scammers they're just shitty artists begging for commis

>>718033884
No, they're literally indian scammers who all use the same shitty generic assets

>>718032139
Honestly, they probably wouldn't really judge me. A friend's even told me I'd probably be good at it. It's purely an internal fear.

>>718033979
I guess that explains the ESL but I figured they were just mexicans

>>718023732 (OP)
I stream for 1 online friend. Sometimes 2.
The shitty indie horror genre becomes a lot more palatable and fun, when you have company to share it with.

Yes. This is one of the few things that bring me joy in my sad, workaholic life.

>>718033462
Yeah, I remember people would stream movies from here too. It was the fist time I saw The Room and Boku no Pico

>>718034276
>Yes. This is one of the few things that bring me joy in my sad, workaholic life.
Based. I'm happy it makes you happy anon.

>>718023732 (OP)
I've considered it but starting from nothing and sitting at 0 for maybe months at a time seems demoralising, figured I'd try to do some long form stuff on YouTube and slowly accumulate there till it's atleast in the double digits

stream viewers are the bottom of the barrel and I dont want to have to interact with them ever

>>718033658
kek I did that once right after a guy donated. except i didn't notice i was muted after I ended the stream

>>718033756
I do this. but it would be interesting to see what reading an actual chat would be like

>>718023732 (OP)
34 year old NEET here, how do I start my streaming career from scratch? My mom is going to die soon and I need to make money.

>>718034924
you can't, time to job hunt

>>718034964
Why not? I see people give bits/subs all the time and some 18 year old girls are even becoming millionaires on onlyfans. It's not fair that I have to get a wagecuck job while streamers/onlyfans hos can just turn on a camera and generate money.

>>718034924
get a cute anime vtuber style avatar and an ai voice changer.
then just be yourself - an autistic little bitch

>>718035050
Because you're not charismatic

>>718023732 (OP)
I've been streaming for like 2 years and I get around 15-20 viewers on average. That feels slow but idk it could be worse.

>>718035050
>life ain’t fair
shocker. nobody is going to hold your hand, get rich or die trying

>>718035050
because you missed the train, it's too late. gotta find a real job

>>718034924
Install obs, go live that's as scratch as it gets and then figure it out. I believe in you, good luck.

>>718034924
Just be yourself, Anon. I believe in you.

>>718035189
Nah fuck that. If you want to stream the best time is yesterday the second best time is now. Just go do.

>>718023732 (OP)
I stream to my partner and maybe a friend or two all the time. The story you actually want to hear though is when I was young and dumb, decided to shittily record my Binding of Isaac gameplay, and got a solid audience of one.

>>718035263
literally a waste of time when you could be spending doing something useful like getting a job that will actually pay you and let you house and feed yourself

>its too late now
biggest loser mentally.
this is why you will never be rich.
I kept telling you 10 years ago and I will tell you now: buy bitcoin and be patient

>>718035074
Okay, I can do that. What game should I play?

>>718035104
How do I become charismatic?

>>718035148
I shouldn't have to work that hard, society says that all humans are equal.

>>718035189
No, I don't want to be a wagecuck. I've never had a real job in my entire life.

>>718035192
Uhh I only like niche autistic shit, I really hope I can get even like 10 viewers.

>>718035212
Thanks? Doesn't really solve my problem of being an autist that only like dead genres. IDK just thinking to myself out loud.

>>718035371
kek

>>718035423
>No, I don't want to be a wagecuck. I've never had a real job in my entire life.
kay then you'll starve I guess

The biggest lie is when people to tell you to just "stream for fun and the views will come." Like hell they will. unless you're a girl, you need one of 3 things: high charisma, high skill, or a really good idea. Just "being yourself" doesn't cut it.

>>718035436
Post btc wallet

>>718035362
you can do both. stream as a side hustle to see if you like it and get the reps in. it will build skills that transfer to a normal career if it doesn't work out.

>>718035362
Nah fuck that, follow your dreams.

Viewbot the everliving shit out of your own stream or you will never make it

>>718034924
>>718035050
Pretty girls get everything handed to them in life, this is a good lesson. If you're an attractive woman: you stream with a camera and open an onlyfans. If you're an ugly woman: you get a vtuber avatar and do an anime voice. If you're an attractive man: you stream with a camera and hope you can stand out. And if you're an ugly man: you just hope. Attractive people will always come out on top of their unattractive counterparts and women will always succeed over men when it comes to selling themselves as entertainment, this is just how it is. If you aren't pretty you better god damn hope you get real fucking lucky when it comes to streaming.

>>718023732 (OP)
I did once, the only viewer I got asked me to ban them from the channel so I did.
I still don't know what that was all about.

>>718035518
I guess it depends on who yourself is

>>718035632
Charismatic people usually aren't actually "themselves" though. They just know how to socialize

>>718034924
Get a day job and stream consistently when you have the time. Expect to only lose money by streaming.

>>718035671
Whenever I streamed I aimed more for authenticity
I never got a ton of views, but I made some friends :)

Sleep tight mates.

>>718035518
Those three things also wont cut it. It doesn't matter what you bring to the table, because no one actually cares. People will flock to larger streamers they know over seeking out smaller streamers they don't. Streaming at this point entirely comes down to luck, people will say "But you can hedge your bets with yadda yadda yadda" but they're wrong. Connections are really about the only thing that'll help you in the long run. If you want to be big, get ready to suck some dick or roll the dice.

>>718035423
What genres do you like?

>>718035830
H-games.

>>718035794
I stream off of a good idea and I'm currently making money off of youtube/twitch eat shit.

My fondest stream experience was playing through the entirety of SaGa Frontier in a few weeks and just trying to make sense of it with a bunch of genuine enthusiasts of the game coming in to drop tidbits of helpful information
Felt very comfy

>>718035876
You got lucky, idiot.

>>718035672
I don't want to get a job. I'm 34 and I've never worked and I have no degree.

>>718035830
I like niche fighting games from the 90s and 00s.

>>718023732 (OP)
I kind of want to try it at least once, but I'm not really made for it. Plus I'll probably get banned for being a young pixels enjoyer.

>>718036060
just b urself

>>718036042
No I didn't. I've been add it for a few years now and the growth has been slow but steady. I didn't say this in my original post, but making editted youtube videos is really important too. Youtube is much better at bring in new viewers than twitch is. I literally only ever get raided by people with less views then me, and my channel has never really "hit it big" in the algorithm.

what game should i stream to start with?

>>718036180
You got lucky you fag. There are literally thousands of people streaming/making videos and I guarantee you aren't the best one there is or the most deserving. You just rolled the dice and hit the jackpot. All the work you've done has made sure people didn't leave, but you are literally just tending a fire lit by a lightning strike no matter how it feels.

>>718036484
Play the current thing

>>718036484
Battletoads vs Double Dragon

>>718036630
stay bitter you fucking loser

>>718036484
>>718036643
The current thing isn't actually a sure fire hit. People will sometimes avoid watching games they want to play themselves, so there are certain franchises you have to avoid for the first couple of weeks after launch. Also, some games are super popular and people just straight up don't watch streamers playing them for whatever reason. You're best off choosing something that requires some amount of gambling or something that feels like it's gambling even if it isn't OR a series people can be incredibly autistic about and you just need to not throw people out of your chat when they join and start backseating. You also need to look at saturation, is a game being overplayed? On Twitch you can search a game's name and check how many viewers it has and see the number of streamers and see how many viewers the largest of those streamers have. This will tell you if the full viewership is going to one big streamer or not.

Common suggestions for current trends usually include stuff like Uma Musume and for older fall backs people will usually tell you Minecraft or Marbles on Stream. It's a dance, and you really just need to feel shit out on your own ultimately, but it's one that's easier to follow once you know the steps.

>>718036851
Eat my dick. I'm telling you you're lucky, not that your work isn't good. If anything I've been complimenting you this whole time, faggot. Sorry that your personal vision of reality doesn't line up with what's actually going on, just count your blessings.

>>718024403
The way your voice cracks in an attempt to compensate for your low pitch could probably be legally recognized as a form of psychological torture.

I do it once in a blue moon, last time I was testplaying a game and giving feedback. When I do I never expect viewers and I'm not entertaining.

DSP has one of the longest streaming careers out there actually.

>>718038152
He's also been doing it for 30 years and people watch him to make fun of him.
He only got notoriety because he spammed the fuck out of youtube before the algorithm even decided to push let's players.

>>718023732 (OP)
back during the Justin TV days and leading into Twitch early days i used to go to a website where people took turns sharing a stream key to entertain each other streaming by taking turns.

i got some of the most garbage video capture devices money could buy and streamed retro games when someone wasn't streaming Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress, did tons of NES but hooked up whatever i could and streamed it.

rarely got more than 30 viewers back then but this was 10-15 years ago and it wasn't like anything was monetized back then so it didn't matter, it was fun though.

>Commissioned a pngtuber model and custom Minecraft skin
>Can't find enough time to prepare the most basic socials and will to stream anymore

>>718038291
Sounds like someone's afeared. Many such cases.

>>718023732 (OP)
I'll be vtubing soon, I've already got a bit of a fanbase built up and I'm just waiting to pull the trigger
The few test streams I've done have gone over well

>>718038283
30 viewers during Justin TV days was like a decently sized stream. The biggest streams on JTV topped out at 300~ viewers (aside from Swiftor, that jew always had 1k)

>>718038743
since it was everyone taking turns it is hard to say how much of that was me vs the others, i think we had backup streams as well at the time, been a while but the website is long gone but wayback machine might have it "Brocraft.net"

here is an example of the garbage i would stream when it wasn't retro: https://youtu.be/x1yl6vmBBA8?si=aH072bwZ_3eDa-qZ

sadly i don't have much from back then as i didn't think to save any recordings outside some short clips right before the website collapsed.

>>718023732 (OP)
I get performance anxiety when someone's watching me play which causes me to make really stupid mistakes, I also have negative charisma.

>>718038743
>>718038860
found a wayback machine example, looks like we had four streams at the time

i streamed randomly and /v/ helped me get to 100+ average viewers for a half a week straight back in 2014
i gave up on it because i thought streaming was gay and it would never kick off
i guess the silver lining in dropping my "stream career" is that my name was an anagram for niggershit

that was set on the auto pilot when nobody was actively streaming at the time, think we lost that when we switched over to using twitch.

>>718023732 (OP)
Yeah, I stream some niche fangames every now and then, and usually have 3-4 friends from the same community that watch me. I wish I did it more often, but preparing for it makes me anxious and I always feel extremely drained afterwards too, so it's a bit exhausting.

>>718023732 (OP)
I never streamed, but I used to make WoW videos back in late WotLK. I got what was really good views at the time and should have found a way to pivot it I think, but I grew to hate WoW after Cata.

>>718039313
Could have been number 1 political streamer on twitch if you didn't stop.

>>718038369
Honestly, I picked the worst time, but its not like these things will expire or anything

>>718039437
Of all irony, you're probably not entirely wrong. I fucking hate Azmongold, but I've found myself agreeing with him when I'm forced to listen/read what he's said from friends more often than not.

Also, I decided to watch one of my video... Jesus fucking Christ, I forgot how cringey the music choice was. One of them is just this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSFNl4roGlI

I stream retardy

>>718023732 (OP)
Yeah, I did stream some games for people in here back in the justin.tv era.
I also used to do some Xcom UFO Defense threads in here before.
All of those memories made me make a channel some time ago and now I'm streaming 3 days a week to absolutely nobody, but that's probably how everyone starts.
If I ever make it big, I'll give this place a nod because you inspired me to start doing this to begin with.

I had around 400 people watch me regularly in 2020. However more and more people wanted constant contact with me through discord and steam. I just had to get away and quit altogether.

>>718039663
>I've found myself agreeing with him
it's not really shocking, I always feel like his takes are pretty vanilla/generic presumably so as many people agree as possible

I don't think any position he has is like, particularly out-there

>>718039138
Speedrun a game. Post your stream schedule on your channel. I like consistent speedrunning streams, depending the game.

>>718040465
Thanks friend but I don't do that

>>718040583
Tried VR yet? I can only play VR0 these days. I like VR content.

>>718040645
I've done VR, don't like it. I'll continue streaming my backlog to no-one but thanks for offering the suggestions

>>718040102
He has some pretty out there takes you know that comes from someone who leaves their house like once a month.
And you can tell it's a dogshit take when he has to use WoW as an allegory because it's all he understands in life.

>>718040743
>out there takes
I've only ever seen noncontroversial middling takes like
"Games should be good"
"Rapefugees bad"
"Gay people stupid"

>>718040804
>Loli good(Not drawings)
>Stealing/scamming is good(BRo it's like classic wow you can just loot the boss and no one can do anything)
>You shouldn't care about things that happen outside your house because you can't do anything
Just shit like this is like okay dude. The last one he even had to apologize for at some point.

>>718028685
Sounds comfy

I would gladly watch your stream if you went apeshit on those pajeet scammers advertising "banners" or free views, just drop whatever you are doing and become Kitboga 2.0

The real endgame is becoming a qts top knight defender of the realm.

>>718041346
this can't be real

>>718041346
>osrs
lol kek lmao

>>718041405
You better believe in ghosts tales anon. You're in one.
That's not even a solitary incident lol

i watch my christmas cake friend stream and its a hella comfy time
just hope she doesnt burn out

>>718041346
the truth is that if theres a female streamer or vtuber theres an 80-90% chance shes in a secret relationship. i know because ive dated two, the current one for several years.

they know the game is that they cant disclose relationship status or men wont donate.

>how do i date a streamer/vtuber
dont be a fan. streamer and vtuber fans are weird as fuck and the girls pick up on the autism from miles away. you know them before they are a streamer or get to know them outside of streaming. you can be introduced to them by other streamers but i cant stress enough that you can not be a fan. when you get into the social circles these girls hang out in you will see that almost all of them are dating, living with their partner, or married with kids

>>718042092
not my oshi though she is pure and waiting for me

>>718024403
How small is your cage?

>>718029620
fucking faggot

>>718042235
lmao theres a chance i fucked your oshi last night and she blew me on the couch this afternoon. no idea who your oshi is but shes a good amount of peoples oshi

>>718042428
nigga you dont live in japan

>>718027984
Based. fuck waito piggu

>>718042092
No shit and the other half are men with voice changers.

>>718042497
the voice changer thing isnt nearly as common as you think it is because its painfully obvious the moment you pay attention. it happens but none of the ones im aware of got huge other than the zena or whoever it is that uses the tts and its an open secret

>>718042476
then i didnt fuck your oshi but your oshi is still probably getting dicked down on the regular

>>718036060
>I'm 34 and I've never worked and I have no degree.
Unironically consider suicide. This is not me trying to be hurtful, it's just at this point it's so over for you that suicide would be the best way to avoid the rest of the misery that would be your life.

>>718042943
What's so over about it?

>>718042092
Not being a fan is obvious, that never would work. How did you meet? My friend got with a streamer girl from a convention, somehow.

>>718042887
>the voice changer thing isnt nearly as common as you think
Nah it's pretty common but it's only the ones that don't yell so their mic doesn't peak. Especially ones that modulate their voice already for whatever whacky shit they're pretending to be.

>>718023732 (OP)
No, but I'm considering streaming, I have so many games to play and streaming would give me a good excuse to go through all of this backlog, all while also jumping into flavor of the month bandwagons to see if the algorithm looks at my direction. But to be honest, it all looks so complicated nowadays, I pretty much have to go and look for step by step guides on how to stream so I can start, since I have no one who can guide me through. OBS, setting streams in both Twitch and/or Youtube and the sorts. I don't even have a mic, I'm looking into buying a decent one that doesn't break the bank since I obviously don't want to go too hard into it so early.

On the other hand, I also want to stream as a vtuber, I've been playing with VRoid Studio a bit and I have a solid idea of my character, but I need to properly put it on paper and the options VRoid provides are not good enough unless I look around for paid features in BOOTH, especially hairstyles. Is curly hair too much of a pain in the ass to ask for?

>>718043161
He probably met them playing an MMO. That's where I know a lot of them before they became v-tubers.

I really want to make videos but I'm a lazy piece of shit

>>718043161
As he said, I agree that it's not that common and if it is, you can almost instantly notice. Most male vtubers streaming with female avatars don't care much about changing their voice, even beatMARIO streams with a girl avatar.

On the other hand, it's easier just to set TTS and modern versions are very fast, Zentreya's current TTS is so instantaneous that she can now hold a conversation with almost no delays. There's also MOTHERV3.

>>718043110
first one i met before she became a streamer/vtuber. second i met through her. same social circle and was aware of eachother. got to talking about other stuff had similar interests and hit it off.

>>718043161
its common in small streamers like under 50ccv but its usually picked up on heavily if they make it past that. some sperg out and the pressure or whatever gets to them so they disclose while others get found out and quit. tons of trannies but the actual voice changer is not as common as you would think among the medium and above streamers. 10ccv and less is whatever and i dont really pay attention to that space anymore.

>>718043280
i didnt but mmos are pretty much the modern day dating app for gamer girls

>>718043335
You took the time to write out this epic blog. Just do it like that one step at a time and don't stop.

>>718043023
He's probably talking from personal experience.
And he's not completely wrong on how hard it's gonna be for someone like him to adapt into society after that much time, but it's not impossible either. Motherfucker's gonna learn the hard way and wish he could go back to eating chicken tendies every day, but he can still adapt and with some luck, even have time to stream at some point.

>>718043023
You're over a decade behind everyone else your age when it comes to work experience and having no degree only hurts your prospects further. Ageism is a real thing when it comes to employment and companies don't like to hire older people for entry-level jobs. You'll probably get passed up for a job McDonald's in favor of some brown teenager.

I'm going to assume that you're also autistic and undersocialized as fuck otherwise you probably wouldn't be in this situation. This is also terrible because you need to be somewhat decent at socialization to make it as a streamer because a large part of your "job" will be interacting with chat or potentially other streamers. No one wants to watch or interact with an autist on the internet unless it's to make fun of them. You'll need to be entertaining and likeable. If you somehow make it big enough then you'll also have to interact with sponsorships and talent agencies in a professional manner and being a sperg with no work experience is going to make them hesitant to deal with you.
Also you're going to be competing against tens of thousands of other streamers (who all also thought they could avoid getting a real job by streaming) for the attention and donations of your viewers, many of whom will be more charismatic and have a better setup than you.

>>718043335
Editing 2 minutes of video can take up to a whole day if you don't know what you're doing, but it feels like magic once the whole video is done. If you're the creative kind of person that has no other outlets for it, give it a try. Even if you get no views, it feels awesome to finish a project, and it feels even better if anyone actually watches them at some point.
I was riding the highest high for a whole week the day one of my videos randomly got up to 10k views.

>>718043427
>>718043591
You act like being around normies is some ancient curse. I am NTA but in a similar position as a 34 yo neet. Just remember your please and thank yous and be helpful and willing to learn the way they want shit done. Plus, if that doesn't work I'll use the terminally online dark acts of shitposting to drive them insane which will always be le funny.

>>718043661
I can function perfectly around people, anon. But can that guy?
And even I get fed up at points and try to get as far away as possible from society at points, so I wonder how someone that was raised by 4chan will even function outside.

>>718036630
Hahahaha holy fucking salt! I haven't no damn jackpot. Like I said, I just had a good idea and worked hard on it for years. Not my fault you don't know how to play the game

>>718023732 (OP)
When mixer was a thing, Id easily pull a few hundred kids watching on Xbox. Literally anyone could go live and pull a bunch of viewers on that platform.

I used to have a YouTube channel with videos that had 100k+ views but I deleted it because autism and obviously no one will ever believe me because the evidence is gone. I don't think streaming is for me, when I tried it in the past I just got bored and couldn't keep up appearances for that long. Also my voice is noticeably autistic so very few people would probably enjoy listening to me talk. If I wanted to get back into kahntent cweation it would be videos again but with all of YouTube's horrible changes over the years I don't think I would enjoy it. Editing videos was also mind-numbingly tedious even if I wasn't half bad at it and could probably finish an edit in half the time it took most other people to do.

>>718044124
Uh... OK?
What are we even supposed to say about this, bro?

I have 120 subs on my game youtube and I know at least 10 of them will come and watch me stream.
The problem is that I'm a compulsive masturbator so I'm guaranteed to accidentally forget that I'm streaming and open a tab and open a porn site by muscle memory alone.
I would probably also get darksidepylled and forget I have my webcam on before stroking it out.

>>718043849
I think a lot of it depends on the aptitude and the attitude. If anon can find it in himself to be chill and go with the flow and remembers to say the n-word instead of nigger I think he has about the same chance of success as someone who can function perfectly around people. I think a lot of it is anxiety because social interactions are an unknown to us neets that can get weird because everyone can sense that energy and it makes everyone feel anxious, but if you can get over yourself and just be a genuine self I don't think more is expected of anyone.

>>718044372
If you play it off just right it can boost your profile once the lsf clip goes viral.

>>718023732 (OP)
I streamed Voices of the Void, Deus Ex and a few other games
Got a few cozy regulars, it was fun

Kys tranny

>he thinks he can make it as a streamer
>he thinks he will be the one male vtuber to break through and become popular
>he thinks he's better than the thousands of others trying the same

>>718044520
I would also accidentally say the n word despite some of my mainstay viewers being young, nerdy black men.

>>718044695
This but unironically. I am thinking shota chad that cucks all the viewers by fucking their favorite vtubers behind the scenes. Should be pretty simple.

>>718044783
That should be fine, as long as you don't call them niggers you're good.

I steam every so often (and upload them to YT). I do horror games with no commentary or facecam, but I do have a "cat cam" pointing to my cat's bed. I get about 100 viewers per stream and mid-4 figure views on YT. I think I do well because some people want to see horror without the overexaggerated reactions. Since I only stream horror, from time to time I will do a replay of a game I am very familiar with and do minimal commentary and those give me a lot of views as well. The marker is oversaturated so you need to find your niche to do okay. I would not quit my real job for this.

>>718023732 (OP)
Sounds pretty fucking gay if you're not making money.
I've seen some Gen alpha kid playing Minecraft and he starts narrating everything he does like a streamer even though he's not streaming to anyone.
I feel like streamers has ruined an entire generation.

>>718045173
>he isn't narrating his gameplay to himself while non stop quipping
Skill issue.

>>718024403
Cute but when are you getting a new model?

>>718023732 (OP)
I turned on a Factorio stream once. I don't even remember why, I think I was just curious to see whether the built-in NVIDIA streaming thing worked (turns out it did). I've considered trying to actually stream playing some games but I think it'd just be too much effort.

>>718024403
>>718023732 (OP)
Can we get this nigga banned

>>718045502
Hey, DoshDoshington comes from here and does the same with a good amount of success, so you could probably do it too.

>>718023732 (OP)
The most I did was make random videos from whatever game I was playing at the time like 10~ years ago. I don't want anyone to perceive me though so I stopped.

>>718045575
No.

Years and years ago I used to stream on The Final Vidya, it wasn't a branded streaming platform in the modern sense, rather it was just some guy's webpage with a video and chat panel you streamed stuff to with generic screencast software. There were a handful of other dudes who streamed stuff and we'd just swap in and out mostly on an ad-hoc basis, or timetable a slot to stream in, and some curated YouTube playlist with random dumb shit would play automatically in the downtime. We'd get maybe 150 concurrent viewers at peak on normal days, and sometimes the site owner would put on the old WWE videogame character royal rumble which was always pretty popular and you'd get like maybe three or four times those views.
My thing was mostly playing through my library of GC games with a shitty capture card but I did some emulation for DS/N64 and some PC games too. Thanks for the memories, lads.

>stream dk returns hd because felt like it
>one guy comes in saying he'll watch for a bit while he eats
>after some time he says he's done and leaves
o-oh...

>>718045173
I have a 4 month old son and I narrate what I do to him on the computer while I'm holding him. I struggle to imagine another scenario in which I would vocally narrate my own gameplay.

>>718045723
do it

>>718045610
>comes from here
he's like 90% /vg/tard and 10% /v/tard

No, but there was a pretty chill dude whose streams I liked to watch and participate in but he stopped awhile back.

>>718045838
Fine I'll subscribe to your patreon.

I stream a playthrough of Sonic 06 using a Webcam to capture the gameplay. I got a couple people telling me to get a capture card. Good times.

>>718046819
I stream by pointing my phone at my monitor to show people's youtube clips of boomers recording their tv for funny family guy moments.

>>718046030
I was referring to the site as a whole, but fair enough.

>>718046893
This was before good smartphones tho. It was around the Justin.tv era. I did the most ghetto ass camera setup and was Livestreaming Sonic 06. I chose that game for the lulz because I imagined my reaction to the BS would be entertaining I guess.

On average there's only 15-25 viewers for every streamer on Twitch, and most those viewers are monopolized by the top 0.1% of streamers. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than making it as a streamer.

>>718024403
Pedo

>>718047058
Just remember loud = funny and talk a lot of shit about top streamers. Asmongold? More like pedo rapist gold.

>>718023732 (OP)
I made a youtube video like 10 years ago, to make another anon that I chatted up on teamspeak laugh, that caught on way later and is fairly popular. It gets posted here often enough. My nasally chud voice horrifies me and I don't know why it still gets daily comments

>>718045575
He bribes the mods here

>>718044124
Didn't read all that, but cute Teto

There's a guy I watch play my summer car occasionally and having someone in there constantly spamming TTS makes me wonder how detrimental it is just to ban someone who has been there forever but is a fucking nuisance 24/7 otherwise.

>>718047214
Listening to retards try to be funny is literally the entire job.

>>718047126
You're partially correct but you forgot the most important part, you need to post the clips of you being loud to TikTok. Growing on Twitch is absolutely impossible, the only way you'll get viewers is by spamming 5 clips on TikTok a day and hoping at least one of them goes viral.

>>718047156
Hey, a lot of people I watch have nasal voices or shit mics, but either are funny enough or knowledgeable enough about that even those flaws can be overseen.

Im planning on vtubing with cute bootyshorts and thighhighs on
Is Twitch gonna get pissed at me?

>>718047378
Yes, but you should also be pissed at yourself for even considering debasing your person like that.

>>718047378
Twitch hates vtubers not named Shylily, so you're always at risk.

>>718047378
>openly gay on twitch
they won't touch you

>>718047378
Nice, and probably banned within a month unless you suck off Stalin or Palestine every other day..

I decided to start vtubing as a way to push myself to finish single player games I havent played before. The mentality of streaming consistently has helped me set aside time and focus on SP games enough to get through a nice chunk of my backlog. Its more for myself than it is to be a big shot streamer

recently cracked 100 followers so I'm pretty happy, and my videos on twitch are getting like 10~15 views so I guess people like hearing me yap? I know /v/ wouldn't

>>718047378
>>>/vt/ranny

>>718047490
I'm currently doing a lot worse, but I've got a solid fanbase to start with
Maybe I'll just do a normal vtuber then and save the lewder stuff for a paywalled site

>>718047346
Thanks man. I do feel a bit better about it now.

>>718047378
You shouldn't vtube

You should stream to me only via Discord :3

why are you all trying to be vtubbers
even the /v/ screencapping twitterniggers are vtubers
what the fuck, you're not a cute girl

>>718047606
Honestly I probably wouldn't mind if you wanted to, I need to practice for when I actually *do* stream soon.

>>718047671
They saw boosted clips from Smol and Stronk and thought they could do it too

>>718047542
Whatever gets your rocks off, m8. Just remember Twitch got pretty draconic with vtubers lately, so youtube or kick will let you be a degenerate way easier, though I'm not sure how much can you push it on youtube either.

>>718047671
>why do you want to stream while remaining as anonymous as possible?

It truly is a mystery.

>>718047671
So I dont have to actually dress up or do any kind of self prep to be in front of a camera. streaming without a cam or vtuber is boring, at that point just make yotube videos instead of streaming

finished up my stream earlier, decided to "speedrun" one of my favorite games as a joke and people had a good time, managed to finish the run too

been at like 7ish average viewers for a few years, generally pretty active and i mostly do it to make friends, full time job otherwise

i am a furry vtuber

>>718047564
Whenever you feel bad about sounding weird on camera, remember xQc is the biggest streamer out there.

>>718047771
>so youtube or kick will let you be a degenerate way easier

People self-censor on Youtube all the time because they fear the algorithm, as far as having the word sex becoming problematic.

>>718047671

what a jewish world

>>718047852
Vtubers have always been banned here and there for inane shit like exposing a bit too much skin with their 3D models, all while they allow 3DPD camwhores on skimpy bikinis continue doing bathing or pool streams uninterrupted, or going as far as doing "ass cams", having a camera below a transparent chair while they sit on them with the skimpiest possible underwear.

To be honest if you want to do that go to YouTube, you'll have way higher success there.

I don't even know if that's good or bad.

i just drink and stream to/with friends on the weekend
i had a different channel that i had affiliate status on just from randos showing up but started streaming on a new channel where i have mostly been avoiding attracting new people to keep things chill with my friends

>>718047606
man I wish I was this cute. I only started cosplaying like early january of last year but it's been a lot of fun

>>718048001
crud

>>718048069
Twitch is where people with no reach try to convince others with no reach to stream. YouTube is better because you can have all your content in one spot, take it from a successful streamer/video producer.

>>718048132
post your channel so we can be friends and play video games together.

>>718048157
Thats great to hear actually! Thanks a bunch, anon.

>>718048047
don't expect me to sound girly but i do lisp and mumble like a faggot pretty often if that gets you going
caliburny_tv

>>718048197
No problem. Drop your links in these threads when they pop up for a few more viewers or try making a thread yourself if one isn't up.

>>718047852
Adding to what the other anon said, recently the number of passive viewers for vtubers got shaved by a huge margin due to their antibotting algorithms triggering easier in those streams for some reason, even if you're not bottling at all.

>>718048270
am i doing it for you anon-kun

A few times during the Livestream era I streamed Hey Arnold for here once. Also games for friends. Was comfy.

Twitch in general sounds just crazy these days. Such a shame, I remember it being a lot more laid back.

>create youtube video in 2007 or someshit
>just a bunch of funny gifs i got off 4chan, and slapped a heavy metal song over it, using windows movie maker
>got 100k+ views because it went viral in mexico for some fucking reason (im european)
>video is still up to this day, because dave mustaine said he doesnt give a shit about people using his music on the internet

>>718048289
Seconding this, don't even try Twitch. The new anti botting measures target VTubers more than anyone else and will tank your numbers.

>>718048319
People like you genuinely disturb me. The fact you're into that stuff doesn't bother me. It's that you publicly flaunt it. I miss the day when society kept their perversions in the comfort of their own homes.

>>718048371
That sounds great like it is, no need to tweak anything! Your voice is super cute btw.

If you're a man there is literally 0 benefit to being a vtuber.
>But I'm ugly and I don't want people seeing my face
Half the most popular male streamers are butt ugly troglodytes, if anything being ugly gives you an advantage since it makes you more relatable to the average person who watches streamers.

Guy in a spacesuit that never shows his face sounds cool as a vtuber concept?

>>718048532
I just want to bang hot anime bitches and I can't do that I am 3d.

>>718048371
Twitch is just a mess nowadays, a whole lot of hypocrisy happening at all times, it's obvious that they will look away as long as you bring money to the site doesn't matter how suggestive your content might be, and that's not even considering how aggressive they are with unskippable ads, going as far as forcing people to watch 6 ads in a row. I personally don't like Twitch's chat culture, hype trains are just psy-ops to trick people into spending more money, TTS can get very intrusive if they enable it and in general streams feel more like trying to sell themselves than just wanting to give good content to their viewers. Also way too much reaction contect, occasionally it's fine because there are some fun videos they can end watching (like when Henya discovered AVGN) but a lot of people make it their main content.

I will never get watching video game streams except maybe a tournament of a competitive game.
I love let's plays because I can enjoy them at my own pace and the player can cut out boring parts, add things during editing etc.
The gameplay doesn't get constantly interrupted by some parasocial loser donating money and the streamer being financially obligated to read the donation.

Let's Play is millenial kino, streaming is zoomer trash.

>>718048532
Most people hate male vtubers including female vtubers. The only reason you should be a male vtuber is to get money from fujos but I don't know if it's worth it.

>>718048503
I appreciate it! People have been telling me I'll likely have success streaming, and I sure hope so! I've got some decently good success outside of it and a strong fanbase so here's hoping!

Anyone got advice for dealing with a resident autismo (he's actually autistic). He's never breaking any rules but he's just awkward, annoying, and getting on people's cases for the dumbest things. I've had to message him privately multiple times, and it kind of works, but he's so fucking annoying and he watches me every fucking stream

>>718048641
my thighs jiggle that's about it, to an e-mormon like the other guy that is definitely some ungodly sacrilege i guess

>>718048612
Zoomers yearn for community so it makes sense they prefer the more parasocial variant. They need to ask "chat" constantly and would feel devastatingly lonely just watching a let's play.

>>718048371
>>718048395
I wouldn't say you should drop twitch completely, we'll, if you're gonna do degenerate shit you probably should, but if you can multistream in both platforms you can get the benefits from both with no drawbacks. That depends on if your computer can handle it, but unless you're playing some bigass game with maximum graphics, you probably can most of the time.

>>718048660
What kind of fanbase? I'm curious now.

>>718048713
I'm a FAG :DDD
I make sexy pictures on the internet of me in revealing outfits!

this
im a butt-ugly, fat oldfag who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain type of character
since streaming i have received:
2 death threats
4 marriage proposals
1 paid gig where i was asked to chase young girls around at a cosplay con (i declined (had other responsibilities at the time))
its fun, and yes, youll get fags calling you fat and ugly and shit all the time, but you get used to it

>>718048665
Time his ass out a couple of times until he gets the lesson, or just ban him already if it bothers you so much. It's your fucking stream, man. Don't let anyone else try to overtake it.

>>718048761
Where at?

>>718048886
Eh, I don't feel like he's THAT bad is the thing though. It's just enough to be annoying, but not enough to ruin it for everyone else.

>>718044015
nta so what was this great idea?

>recently uploaded a video
>don't expect to get more than the usual 100 views
>it suddenly spiked to 15k overnight

>upload another couple of videos
>back to 100 views
I was worried for a second I was gonna be popular and debate myself into dedicating full time to this.

>>718049027
Then time him out for 5 seconds every now and tell him to chill down a bit. Not enough to be an actual punishment, but enough to let him know you can push the timeout button whenever you want.

>>718049009
Uhhh @SoBigHat

>>718048371
Do you have any pictures of your design?

>>718049079
Sorry, not interested in sharing. You will be able to find me from it and I don't want that.

>>718049272
I do, but its not done yet!!!

Should I post a recording of my voice so /v/ evaluates it?

This is the reality of streaming.

>>718049551
The reality of being boring
Be more fun and exciting, quantity used to be the #1 most important thing but that's 2022 shit

>>718049103
>I was worried for a second I was gonna be popular and debate myself into dedicating full time to this.
No, but it's a possibility you'll be chasing that high for the rest of your life
>t.fella who uploaded a video that took an outrageous amount of effort and had it fail in the first 24 hours and then have it randomly spike to 4k+ and beyond
Fortunately, I broke out of that cycle though. I quit video essays and started doing twitch comp let's plays and became much happier because of it. I no longer get views, but I knew that would happen. Currently transitioning to slightly more traditional Let's Plays so that I can spend less time editing and actually start streaming regularly.

>>718049514
go for it

>>718049551
>5 percent conversion rate
Is that good? What's the average of unique viewer into follower? Are there public stats for this?

>>718029102
>You realize we can search the image hash to find out it's you every time, right?

You realize that only proves it's the same file? Not the same person? People reuse pictures ALL THE FUCKING TIME on 4chan. Usually because they either downloaded the pic from 4chan or because it's the first google result for whatever the thread is about.

Go on, search this one too.

I was told in some other thread in another board by a whole other community that I had a lot of potential to be a fun and entertaining streamer but all the demons in my head just tell me to never be consistent with it because nothing will come from it and I'm wasting my time. I streamed all my sessions of expedition 33 and had a guy I know IRL show up and chat and some other stranger that shows up often, but that's it. I wanted to do some videos but again, I feel it's pointless, I will never have a big break and do something in entertainment or the creative field as my main job which is what I've always wanted, and it fucking sucks that I'm just gonna be some nameless shmuck that gets to grind a dead end shit job and then die or kill himself. Any and all "potential" I may have had is all but gone now. I have zero motivation to pursue anything like streaming or making videos, even though I used to.

I'm not throwing a pity party here, I just want (You) to give it an honest try and not be like me. If you're feeling creative then do those videos, if you wanna talk while gaming then go ahead and set up that stream. Absolutely go for it, don't be like me and let stupid shit hold you back.

>>718049813
Why the fuck would I do that when (You) won't even give it an honest try? Let's just give up and circlejerk cry together about how we won't make it anywhere, probably.

>>718049625
I do them for my own satisfaction, so it probably would've been a burden to me having a hobby becoming a job instead.
I feel I'm glad this happened, but maybe it's copium.

>>718029349
I stream TF2 to usually <10 people. One time I streamed Subnautica, and I think randomly Pewdiepie was streaming it around the same time. So I got 65 viewers while playing Subnautica and I immediately started shutting down psychologically. Like I can stream to 15 people no problem. Maybe 20-25. But for some reason once I got over 50 it felt like the real deal and I became crazy self-conscious. I didn't give up like a faggot like you though so I will be rich and famous one day.

>>718029670
stream on Youtube. Twitch is completely pointless for newbies because nobody will ever see you. I can throw a TF2 stream on YouTube at any time of day and get a few viewers at least. (real viewers not spam bots like on twitch) Youtube is just superior for exposure when you have none already established.

>>718050538
I don't get why people get so anxious after the stream gets bigger. You were already streaming for some people why are you getting shy all of a sudden lmao

>>718050809
I breakdown at more than 5 people in a voice chat. There is a pressure with being watched by a lot of people. If you ever given a class presentation you know the feel. Unless you just don't feel stress over it then fuck you that's literally cheating at life.

>>718050967
I find it more stressful when it's just 1 person chatting. When there's a bunch of people, you at least know they're just chilling and they can always chat amongst themselves. If it's just 1 guy, then I feel pressure to keep that person entertained

>>718051069
Same. If there's a lot of people, at least I can cycle through their messages instead of feeling contractually obligated to give attention to a single person.

>>718047671
Yeah, no wonder the western vtuber space is getting worse by the day
I swapped to watching Indie/tiny corpo jp chuubas and never looked back

>>718047671
they want the perks of being a celebrity with none of the risks. they're all grifting faggots.

I've thought about it but I always imagine it would just end up being a disaster like every other ambitious thing I've attempted in life and I also don't want to potentially add becoming a lolcow to the list of things my life ends up being known for.

you just suck, dawg. also twitch is retarded for people with no juice already. you should be streaming on youtube. i've gotten 200 subs from badly and inconsistently streaming with no webcam in 6 months on youtube.

i do it sometimes and i have fun.
i do debate a lot with myself if i should upload text videos on shit i like or text commentary videos on shit that doesn't usually have much known widely but then i'd just feel like i'm a discount skawo

>>718056106
yes i have like 5-10 people who are regulars. people will come in and out. they might be a regular for a couple weeks then stop showing up and get replaced by a new person.

>>718056625
oh i didn't even see the thing about sub and not return. yeah 5-10 is nothing compared to 200. it is what it is. there are also people who never chat so you don't even know they exist but they might be watching regularly.

>>718056714
nta, but yes, this is extremely obnoxious when this happens and one of the weirdest ways someone can go about playing a game with someone else. I was playing MH Rise once and someone asked if they could play with me. I said I would post the lobby, but that I would only be playing solo. Fucker joins the lobby then says he can't join my hunts cause the requirements were too high and I snapped on him.

>>718023732 (OP)
I'm not a zoomer so I've never seen it as a viable career path. So when I have streamed video games it's been for practical purposes only, like for friends and family who would like to watch but aren't around to physically do so.

There’s just no winning move here.

>>718057236
my bread and butter is tf2 but i'm not autistic enough to play the same game over and over again without going insane so i'm basically going to be a variety streamer (yes I know this means dogshit growth upfront but I think it will lead to a better stream in the long term). I played Dredge recently and Felvidek and I will probably be doing Darkwood this weekend. I will not share my channel because you niggers are literally insane but if you look for a Darkwood stream this weekend maybe you'll find me.

>>718035518
honestly like no shit? why is this surprising or even disheartening? obviously if you want to "do" something, you have to be good at it. if you're not a titstreamer or a god gamer or a rizzler then why the fuck would anyone want to watch you? it doesn't even make sense. also you need those aspects probably a lot less than you think you do. even if you're marginally charismatic you will be better than most people.

>>718035794
this is just cope by a never-was who's too chickenshit to try. remember this (you) 10 years from now, when someone who just started streaming 5 years from now shows up in your feed with thousands of views/subs from the ground up.

My stream has a strict "be cool or you're banned" rule that I apply very liberally to annoying autists and literal children
It serves to protect the vibes.
Meanwhile I have a buddy who will absolutely refuse to ban annoying fucks, and he will give them second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth (and on) chances to redeem themselves and they never do.

>>718023732 (OP)
I used to stream and get up to 200 concurrent viewers.

>>718023732 (OP)
I've done streaming in the past, mostly of niche games I just happen to enjoy, but over the span of like 3 years since I started haven't done more than 20 or 25~ish streams at most.

Some had a few live viewers, like 10 or so, some didn't even reach 2, probably my personal favorites were just playing through Armored Core 1 from start to finish on one go, as well as streams of some other old games.
Also had a backlog of games I purposely didn't play even though I really wanted to, because I wanted to stream them, still have them and still haven't touched them.

I enjoyed streaming, and people seemed to like my voice, but when I would rewatch the VODs myself I would not enjoy the audio balance and that was something I spent a lot of time trying to figure out but couldn't properly fix.

But then I kind of stopped because even though my voice is fine, I'm not very used to actively talking, so when rewatching VODs it always felt like most of my commentary was just slight reactions to things or very obviously trying to force myself to talk about something.
Being a retard who's main language is not English but can't think of words in anything but English really didn't help much for being able to say what I had in mind most of the time, and it was also hard to live-translate what I was reading.
Both of these things ended up giving me a bit of feelings of anxiety, because I know some people would join, see how awkward I was and walk away...

...And finally I also was streaming using an avatar of a character I really like, but I wanted to go and make my own, make it something more personal, but that's a project I never end up finishing, so it kind of also helped put the whole streaming thing on stop.

>>718023732 (OP)
I tried in 2016, but it was just for a week or two and I averaged at 5-10 viewers. However it really helped me for my current job because I basically do live presentations and record videos from time to time for internal use and for my company's clients.

Got really nice feedback from my bosses due to that, and I was thinking about making a funny game review channel on Youtube, but every time I try to edit up a video I get cold feet.

I stream horrible B-Shlock movies every thursday and its given me a small but loyal (and fun) viewerbase. Other times i stream shitty forgotten PS1-to-PS3 era games or games based on movies.
Its fun but its really hard to grow.

I did pretty regularly up until about '23 never had a constant viewer base, with the most viewers I ever had being maybe 28 from a raid. Eventually I just ran out of games I wanted to play and not really having an audience I just sort of lost interest

>>718049625

Publicly humiliate him on stream so he never shows up again

I don't want to be a streamer because I prefer being anonymous. I don't understand why a website built around hiding your real identity is also filled with people who want social media fame.

That being said I do archive lots of streamer's VODs so if you have any small channels you're afraid might go away let me know, I guess.

I've been thinking of giving it a try. I primarily only play niche and older games so I don't think I'll have much competition in terms of oversaturation. Twitch is the platform, but YouTube let's you keep vods. Recommendations and advice?

>>718061156
is this total over those 900+ days or one stream? If it's one stream it's a good stream but if it's 900+ days it sucks.

>>718065289
Stream on Twitch, post vods on YouTube, post clips on YouTube shorts and TikTok. Trying to be a variety streamer from the start is basically a death sentence for channel growth though, especially if you only play niche old games.

Where/how can I stream and grow an audience without giving jewgle or twitch my phone number

>>718065236
because you can be rich without having to really work. that's literally why every single person does it. and we can say nigger here without repercussions.

>>718065632
total

>>718065743
you can't be part of the polity while also being a hermit. streaming is inherently social and normalfag so you will have to compromise somewhere.

>>718065836
considering you're restreaming to youtube and i assume not interacting with chat there it could be worse i guess. better than not doing it at all but I still say newbies should just fuck off twitch altogether. it's got a cultural cache but it's outdated and youtube is just objectively better in my opinion. you go to twitch once you've already built a following on places like YT/Tiktok. I would say probably main YT and restream Twitch if you're going to do both. But I have less than 350 YT subs so what the fuck do I know about anything, really?

i dont think it makes much sense to want to stream as a catgirl (& be in a call with someone at the same time) while also being a dude
some people like the mute shit vros

I stream because I play rhythm games and it's the easiest way to have a VOD if I APC something. Sometimes I get a random Korean or JP actually watching when I play Bemani games but it's almost always just people trying to sell art. I'm working on a stream setup for ITG right now for the same reason and it has been a giant pain in the ass to figure out an angle where I get a full body cam where my foot movement is still apparent.

>>718069442
so you admit that vtubing is fundamentally dishonest and predatory.

Why do so many streamers insist on facecams or vtuber avatars?
What's so wrong with being faceless?

>>718065236
Because I'm not streaming with my face in the open either you dumbo. Being a disembodied voice is good enough for people from here, like Mandalore and Sseth.

>>718069442
cap
literally every mute only does this shit because they're scared of public speaking and would rather run from it than get exposure to it

>>718069904
it's way less entertaining/engaging for the audience. we're wired for faces. also as a streamer I can tell you it is way better with a cam because you have much more range as a performer. you have to rely a lot more on fake shit like "OHHHHH" when all you have is your mic. When you have a camera, you can use facial expressions and body language, which can be much more genuine. people don't watch streamers to watch games. they watch streamers to watch streamers.

>>718065690
But I don't want to be a niche streamer either. I saw what happened to Rossboomsocks once he stopped making content of LoL, the views dropped from 200k all the way down to 2k.
The worse thing is that's probably happening to me already. If I post or stream anything that's not about Master Duel, it flops horribly.
How does someone get out of that position successfully?

>>718070118
just stop giving a shit. work on the actual product, which is you, not the game you're playing. i assume you aren't getting 200k so who cares if you get less views. You'll enjoy doing it way more, which is way better for any kind of potential future success than just grinding something you hate for 5-10 years because it's popular. might as well just kill yourself at that point. just settle in for the long-ass grind. you need to get yourself into people's feeds many times over many years so that you become a fixture in their minds. eventually people will just know you via repeated exposure and some of them will like you.

>>718070118
If you're serious about eventually reaching the point where you can live off streaming, you're going to have to suck it up and basically stick to one game for a long time (pick something with medium popularity, you want a game that gets viewers but there aren't so many popular streamers playing it that you're buried beneath a 100 other channels). After that you can slowly start branching out by either adding one other main game you play at a time or doing playthroughs of short games on specific days of the week. Keep in my mind even with that you only have a 1% percent chance of actually making it as a streamer, but that's basically how everyone who blew up after 2020 (caseoh, jynxzi, etc) did it, along with spamming clips on TikTok.

>>718063989

>>718069671
NTA, but yes, high view vtubing is extremely predatory and built around sexualizing characters to have people throw money at them. It's also filled with cliques, snakes and leeches who are constantly trying to one-up one another. This is way more obvious with Twitch vtubers.

>>718070985
But I watch Biboo because she's actually good at games and her model is basically just a kid, so there's nothing to sexualize.

The crossover you get on TikTok and YT shorts is crazy. The Master Duel guy would probably get impressions from MTG and Hearthstone players as well there. I noticed some comments from people who seem to only watch fitness stuff on a few Pump It Up and StepmaniaX shorts I have up, no cross pollination to my stream because they're not gaming people but it's really interesting to see.

>>718023732 (OP)
I only stream to friends. I have a streamer friend that thinks I could have a promising future but she's wrong because I'm a man and not willing to do the public humiliation softboy route.

>>718029349
Went throught the same and basically came to the same conclusion as >>718029968

I enjoy sharing things and get reactions but i do not like being a "name".
I get similar feeling with no downsides by just posting gameplay clips on webm threads.

>>718071862
Should I actually make a tiktok account then? I really, really would like to avoid that site and twitter completely, but if you think it actually helps growth, then I might have to bite the bullet.

>>718072849
nta but if you want to "be a streamer" you basically have to use whatever the current day platform is for sharing short clips.

I was having good success with youtube shorts so I really wanted to not use tiktok too, but yeah... I guess it makes sense to use both if one's being successful already.

>>718073132
but i would say it's pointless if they're just gameplay that doesn't include your personality in some form, at least voice but preferably face, too. shorts viewers are the lowest tier of brainrot slop watchers on the internet. they rarely convert to a stream or longform viewer. so shorts/tiktok should really just be about marketing you as a person so that people become aware of who you are.

>>718073489
but also don't be one of the million faggots who post dozens of unfunny or uninteresting dogshit shorts with your face on it. it might have the opposite of the intended effect.

>>718072764
>I enjoy sharing things and get reactions but i do not like being a "name".
Same thing for me although I never really made it big in streaming.
It's just happened to me in game servers/communities. People start recognizing me because of the things I do in the game and I just start feeling uncomfortable because of it even if it isn't bad attention. So eventually I just stop playing and maybe come back later on an alt. In general I just hate being recognized, be it out in public or on this anonymous imageboard where I waste so much time. I kinda wish I wasn't this autistic.

I started a YouTube channel this year and have thought about streaming, but I mainly play and review strategy games, so I don't think people would want to watch some guy playing obscure strategy games.

>>718074930
good work anon. that's a good number less than a year.

>>718073762
Hey, it's that anon from that thing!

>>718073762
Shit like this stops me from doing anything creative and posting it online. I crave creation but I already had a taste of like 200~ unique non bots following me on twitter for simple video and image edits for a vtuber and I ended up deleting my account.

>>718023732 (OP)
I stream a relatively niche (in the west) card game to something like 10 regulars who play the game and a couple of nice autists who have taken a liking to me, one has even drawn fanart of me. I suck at the game but I put some effort into the music I play on stream and I've received good feedback from it. I'm kind of a vtuber too but I barely qualify honestly
It's quite comfy most of the time. I keep my viewer count hidden 99% of the time so I don't have to think about it too much. Frankly I don't mind being very small as long as I can avoid the absolute 0 viewer void. Having something interesting come up or putting effort into a bit and seeing nobody react is very disheartening

>>718074930
>but I mainly play and review strategy games, so I don't think people would want to watch some guy playing obscure strategy games.
What you're basically saying is that you have access to a niche audience and could probably build up a fanbase around it, but prefer not to.
Think to yourself, you like obscure strategy games, so would (You) be interested in watching someone who reviews and streams those types of games?
If the answer is "Yes", then there you have it, you have the chance to be the guy people like you would watch, if it's "No", then you can just not do it, or do it anyway just to see how it goes, got nothing to lose by trying.

The real question is how does one secure a harem of bpd femboys that will ride or die with your takes on twitter and lsf taking shitposting to unprecedented scales.

Wow, it's 2008 AGAIN! I'd say neck yourself but it feels redundant. .

>>718076204
No not a secret club thing just tired of faggots like you

>>718075845
You are right, of course, which is why I am thinking about it. I have never streamed before though, so I am nervous about doing it. I am also autistic, so I think I would do somthing wrong or weird.
>>718075006
Thank you
>>718073762
I feel like this as well. I try to live my life as quietly as possible.

>>718076264
Good, be mad. Just in silence. Why the fuck do I care.

No, why would I? I'm not an attractive woman, or good at vidya, or talkative and charismatic enough to attract an audience.

>>718065236
>I don't understand why a website built around hiding your real identity is also filled with people who want social media fame.
My enjoyment of posting about things on many topics that would otherwise in forums be called out for "double standards" or "hypocrisy" does not innately mean that my soul has no desire to be followed and appreciated by other people.

>>718076357
Have you tried not being a hippocrip?

>>718076351

all that can change if you start taking hrt bestie :3

Any kind of nuance gets misconstrued on social media, it's a pain in the ass. Here if I want to say a thing I just say it, the people who get it will get it, and the people who don't can't do shit about it

>>718077191
I've downdooted you and contacted your work place for having this take good luck, sweaty.

>>718076490
that's what troons believe

>>718064850
cool

I did for a few years but got burnt out. I hate streaming alone and the parasocialness was just to much. It was either stream to no one and failing to attract an audience I have no connection with or spend my evening hanging with my friends.

I no have no friends so looks like I should have kept streaming.

Don't take anyone's advice here

every website has unironic pedophiles
4chan just has a high amount of them
big difference

good one

>>718078427

>>718078147
what advice?

>>718023732 (OP)
I don't stream because it's too likely ill randomly say " you fucking nigger" when I die in a game and get banned

>>718080239
Many such cases.

>>718080239
That only happens when I get really pissed off but I will often call something a faggot

want to try streaming but afraid of lashing out at relatives who can barge in at any moment and then i feel guilty, so i just keep being afraid of my emotions and don't stream.

>>718080239
install an AI voice filter and stream with a delay
it'll make you sound like a jeet because everyone will just constantly hear "you fucking" but at least you wont get banned : )

>>718023732 (OP)
I haven't streamed in a few months. Most new games that come out are a bit taxing on my rig so my stream tends to get a bit choppy. Now its just me being lazy to even boot up OBS and streamlabs or make my own assets to help me stand out a bit more.

Also haven't really looked into what it takes to edit videos for shorterm media like tiktok or reals and the like. again, more on me just being a lazy ass.

>>718080239
what's it matter if you get banned
just make another account

I stream because I want to talk to the people I play with. and I do. besides the usual scams, even genuine chatters aren't much better. most people in the world are legally retarded and as a streamer you have to accommodate them if you want viewers

>>718081413
Most people on 4chan are legally retarded might as well get paid for it.

I want to stream but I would never show my face. I don't like it showing my face I got a complex, also I wouldn't feel safe exposing myself due to just saying whatever I like, and fuck faking. You get a hater for everything out there so might as well be honest

>>718079969
If you don't like her that's fine, but she picks up the mechanics of every game she plays pretty quickly and performs well for the time allotted to it. The fact she picked up Master Duel for an ad and instead of winging it like everyone else, she actually went ahead, learn what she could and made a decent deck within the restrictions of the challenge AND actually knew how to play it made it clear she's a real gamer.
I can't talk shit even ironically about her after that.

>>718063731
6 bucks. The video was released like 2 months before I got monetized

>>718082746
>she's got basic literacy!
>such a gamer like myself
card games (ygo in particular) are a joke

>>718080239
I've done shit like that but for me it was "faggot"
My viewers don't care, but all it takes is one special snowflake to report you

You could've said you have no argument and you concede instead of this, but I accept your concession regardless.

ah relevant

>>718085003
idk anon you kinda got owned for being a mobilefag

>>718085734
Ok I can concede that one. The other fag can suck it tho.

Imagine doing all this work and shit for zero viewers and no clout. Might as well be a wagie at least minimum wage is guaranteed for now. Only go into this if you have some sort of a passion retarded to the field otherwise it's hell on earth.

>>718086316

>>718086523
Fucking True, and I spelled related as retarded. I am going to go touch some grass.

streamed a launch of a old mmo private server, was top of my class for a week or two and got 30 followers

>>718028983
never understood how dumb you can be to not realize when your audience is here for the game and not just for you, if for you at all.
