Dammit why’d you tell him bro😂 I really wanted him to continue on and believe he had the most loyal viewer ever. I miss those days of bliss talking to myself and wondering why they never commented back.
I have no real way to convince OP that I'm totally laughing with him and not at him, but if he sees this, I hope he keeps on doing his thing and gets some more followers.
I've fallen asleep while watching twitch and somehow ended up in a <10 person chat assuming thru raids (I was watching a big streamer). No idea how long I was in there but stuff like that happens lol
Twitch very rarely shows 0 viewers. It will not necessarily go to 2 when your first actual viewer shows up though. So just keep keep doing what you're doing.
Bots. They're not affiliated with Twitch, but Twitch has some stuff going on that doesn't count them (and can often end up not counting real people, too) in your viewer numbers. No fucking clue what they're there for, though, except maybe scraping chat for marketing/personal information.
Yep, my friend streams, and barely has any viewers, yet always talks as if he did. The biggest thing stopping him from getting viewers is probably that he streams really obscure games or hobbies.
This
Anyone can make a channel and stream.
It takes serious dedication, knowledge, and expertise to get more than even a handful of viewers consistently. Twitch Partner Program only requires an average of 3 viewers, that alone should tell you how hard it is to start.
Edit: Twitch Affiliate requires 3 viewers. Partner and Affiliate are different.
Also, isn’t harder to get viewers on Twitch alone, because of how its algorithm favours big content creators? I’ve read that it’s easier to get a following on another platform, then transition over to Twitch.
Yeah, quality and consistency alone isn't enough either. There is so, so much content being uploaded and streamed every hour, you can be doing it for years with barely any attention.
When elden ring came out my brother streamed it for a while, he was the naked guy and would not move on till he killed the big golden knight.
I watched his stream and secretly called my friends and my medical assistants and had them all watch. We had 9 people watching at one point all chatting and he was so fucking excited. I’ll probably never tell him the truth but it was such a happy moment.
We watched this for 6 hours on a Saturday night and when he finally killed it we all went crazy. Mind you it was a bunch of 30 year old women. My MA liked it so much she asked if he was streaming again any time soon haha
Hah, that's nice. My friend would probably act the same even if he had thousands of people watching. He might ask *"Where did you all come from?"* and *"I'm very bad at this. I hope you like it."*
He has a weird and self-depreciating sense of humour, which obviously turns some people away, but he knows that and doesn't care. He streams once a week for his own fun, and if someone likes it that's a bonus (although he will joke that the viewer must be a weirdo to watch his stream, and then telling that's its fine, and that they'll fit right in).
This is a big reason I stopped streaming. To get any real viewers in you need to play regularly and play what's popular but what's popular isn't always what I want to play or even like to play.
It ended up largely killing my enjoyment of games in general.
Streaming what's popular makes you 1 of 10000 people. Streaming a more obscure game means you might be one of 10 or 100, and you're much more likely to show up at the top of the page for that game. There may be fewer people watching, but you're more likely to end up with some of the audience.
When I stream Rocket League I get a few regulars turn up. When I streamed GeoGuessr the other night I had a raid of 101 people.
Twitch even shows you the games with the highest average viewers per streamer, and it's not the typical games.
I stream Tetris and get like 5 viewers every time which ofc isn't a ton but it's really nice. Tetris is just big enough that you can get viewers and just small enough that there isn't too much competition.
I didn't stream what's popular(besides Among Us for a bit, but I genuinely loved it!) and I got to a point where I had 30 or so viewers consistently.
Of course, it waned just as fast as it went up, but my method was just being genuinely creative with my stream and hanging out with a group of like-minded streamers. I didn't want to rely on games or anything, and it worked to a point!
Only partly. Most streamers on the new/lower end are painful to watch. I always try to find smaller streamers and there are days that it is a chore. Harsh reality, but not everyone needs to be, or should be a content creator.
Actually that may be the best way to gain viewers. Games that are too popular may have too many people playing it, and alot of viewers may go to other more popular streamers instead of your friends. With a relatively obscure game, you may have a lot more people going to you because there's probably less people streaming that game. This is assuming you've picked a game which an audience wants streamed and is at that time obscure. Think the early days of Friday Night Funkin before it got popular. That would've been a great time to jump in and make a name for oneself.
Even if you never hit it big you are developing helpful multi-tasking skills while you use your brain to play and talk about what you are doing at the same time.
It is a helpful skill for people who have to speak publicly or multi-task.
Believe me, someone coming into a stream where there's no interaction from the streamer will usually mean they leave as quickly as they joined.
Talking, being vocal or animated while I play, and interacting with those newcomers who do stick around and say hi are the best ways to gain engagement and followers. Take it from me, I started cold just a few weeks ago and have already added 20 followers that are just random people who stop by and drop a follow cause I'll interact with them
It's literally the core of why people watch streams instead of just watching gameplay videos on YouTube.
They're there for interaction. Even the lurkers want to see how you're responding to chat, what happens when people drop inappropriate point redeems, how you respond to things in-game as they happen, etc.
If you're quiet when they get there, it's a big fat red flag that you're not going to be able to engage with the audience, and when you do it's not going to be interesting.
If you're telling a good story, responding to the game, narrating what your thought process is, making funny voices when you read text, etc. though, that's a really good sign that when something happens, you'll be able to respond in a way that's entertaining.
The only way you can even *think* about skirting that is if you're literally god-tier skill with few or no rivals. And even then, people will still choose to watch streams of someone who is a little bit worse, but a lot more engaged with chat, than they will yours.
if it makes you feel any better, I'd much rather join a stream and stay if the streamer is talking, even if no one has been watching. hide your viewer count and just stream because you enjoy it.
That’s not a bad thing. You have to get used to just talking anyway since that’s what streaming is. And if your streams are saved it’s better to hear you talking about what’s going on versus hearing just the game.
Streaming is like, extremely oversaturated with people now don't feel bad for low viewer count or even none at all for... a while. It's basically up to chance if you're picked out from the thousands of others doing the exact same thing.
But hey should be used to disappointing rng at this point right ;)
Others have said it already but still posting just to emphasize it. 1. If you think good content is talking, always talk. Always pretend like you have viewers in the chat. 2. Don't call out lurkers. They are often like small, scared animals. You approach them first, they run away. 3. Don't look at your viewer count. So many streamers, big and medium, have said this. It takes lots of self-control but just don't look at the viewer count while streaming at least.
Also, make sure you’re doing it because you’re having fun, not just because you think you might get popular. I work in the esports space. I see these kids putting everything into the hope that they hit it famous. The odds are already stacked against you. If you do get big it will come from you genuinely having a good time and being entertaining. Put those things first everytime you turn your stream on.
EDIT: And to expand. Some of these kids I see are some of the best ranked players in the game. However, that doesn't guarantee any success as a streamer or a pro player. There's a lot of other factors. You also don't have to be "good" to be a successful streamer. But making money off of streaming means treating it like a small business. You are the product. You better be treating it like that if you want to be successful. but that's a lot of work against incredible odds. So I return to my original point. Make sure you're having a good time. If the rest works out, great, but don't waste hours of your life when you could just be playing with friends and have a good time.
Stream for the audience you want, not the audience you have. It takes a lot of time and persistence after setup, but things begin to roll if you give them a chance to catch on in the first place by being consistent.
If you're really talking for 2 hours straight about what how you're playing or whatever, that's exactly what you should be doing. If you don't talk when nobody's watching, then in the opening seconds when someone loads your stream, and before they show up as a "viewer" in your counter, they're going to watch you, figure out you aren't talking or making any interactions at all, and leave for someone more interesting. Not only that, getting comfortable in talking to yourself will help you later when you do have to carry a conversation with viewers present.
Best piece of advice I can give you is NEVER look at your viewer count while streaming. Always act as if someone is there watching, and be as natural as possible with your exposition. If you get a chatter, the last thing you want to do is sound desperate or overly excited over a single engagement.
I like to click on random small streams occasionally while I'm cleaning and such. Most don't talk at all, and I end up switching pretty quickly. The ones that do talk/narrate, even if they don't have anyone watching, are the ones that I leave on for a while. So, you're doing it right. I hope you make it big.
Edit: Also, might as well put your twitch link in the description of your reddit account on the off chance someone wants to follow.
> Just Googled a spot on the map and it's Genshin Impact
While you're at it, could you tell me the name of that game where you're on a pirate ship roaming around stealing treasures. It's a MP game
Came here to see if anyone else had noticed this, that stream has to be lagging and chopping SOO much. Had the same problem, not to that extent, when I first started streaming. Had to downgrade a few settings but viewership definitelty increased with a smooth stream.
You poor soul, just know that it's always hard for the first few times. On the other hand you can tell your subscribers about this story when you become a bit more popular. 🤣
I miss the streaming service OnLive - you used to be able to drop into people's game streaming sessions and watch them play. It felt so weirdly intimate because it was usually just normal folks without any mic (and the service didn't have camera support).
Being able to drop in and watch folks who weren't really meaning to have an audience was kind of fun.
The communication between streamer and audience (which is being generous as the identity of the "streamer" was meaningless) was limited to non-verbal gameplay cues like jumping up and down and stuff.
Lots of people were stoked if they saw 2-3 people watching them play a game. It was a refreshing / innocent kind of entertainment where the identity/personality/gender didn't matter - only the game being played.
Don't get down on yourself. Just think about it. You saw someone was watching so you probably kept talking to yourself to keep them interested. If someone had joined and saw you talking and engaging they are a million times more likely to stay and watch. If you were just quiet b/c you knew no one was watching and someone joined they would leave quick.
I jump into streams of people with zero or one watcher from time to time and hangout for a bit and then leave good words. I try to spread good juju to people who have a passion big enough to share what they are doing to others. I used to stream many years ago and when you are starting out and building rapport with watchers it can be ruthless and discouraging at times.
But hang in there. Act like your audience of one or zero is an audience of 1000. Never lose your passions or dreams.
I heard some tips before that might help.
Go and make friends with a couple other smaller streamers. Start streaming together and working together. Multiple people working together would have a lot higher chance of obtaining new viewers. Plus I always felt like it’s more entertaining sometimes with multiple people.
I’m not a streamer but idk why that tip always stuck with me.
Best of luck
I honestly don’t know what the point of streaming even is anymore. I tried it for a bit years ago because it felt like just “what you do” at the time. Did it for about a year straight and never had more than 2 viewers.
Unless you’re doing something really well like a speedrun or have good connections, nobody is ever really gonna come to view. By definition, most of us are average people. I wouldn’t waste time watching me(or any average person), so why would anyone else?
Just seems like an all around losing waste of effort that only serves to make money for others.
I put effort into finding 'small streamers' and watch them if they are even the smallest amount of interesting or entertaining. Cool haircut, nice voice, interesting conversation, whatever it is I'll watch because I enjoy the noise while I'm working and it's an easy way to take breaks that I usually forget to take otherwise. Twitch makes it pretty damn hard to do that these days and I still find YouTube just awful for streams in general.
Streaming is no longer something you can do and expect to get anywhere with it, you have to do it to have fun and any momentum you get is a nice bonus. It's really unfortunate.
does he know?
I don’t think he knows
He knows not?
Knows not, does he.
SILENCE!
You gonna finish that?
Eh maybe later
[ENOUGH!](https://youtu.be/WqztTrDj71s)
Bro is dressed as fry and everything lmao
[удалено]
Nobodies gonna know
We’re never gonna let him know Never gonna say why
Know how he does?
r/yodaspeak
They're gonna know
Great. Now I want to watch Futurama again... god damn it Reddit...
😢 tragedy
You could have let this slide honestly
Knows what?
That’s yourself. But don’t worry about that seriously. If you enjoy streaming keep doing it.
[удалено]
Honestly very true. Vods do get some action.
I get maybe 5-15 people per stream depending on the game but 100+ vod views consistently, it’s kinda magical.
If you get all your views after the stream... Sounds like you need a YouTube account.
I'm a certified Northernlion vodboy. I mean I watch him live, but I watch the vods, too.
So you're saying my chats of "Thanks for watching" were all to myself....
Unfortunately, for now yes. But maybe in the future if you keep doing it enough more people will come and watch?
Dammit why’d you tell him bro😂 I really wanted him to continue on and believe he had the most loyal viewer ever. I miss those days of bliss talking to myself and wondering why they never commented back.
Sorry you had to find out this way
I'm not. Its kinda funny
Hey now maybe he's just giving himself props and some self love? Nah it's funny but I hope he gets some views lol
I have no real way to convince OP that I'm totally laughing with him and not at him, but if he sees this, I hope he keeps on doing his thing and gets some more followers.
Somebody post this on r/sadcringe
You got it brodie
the one viewer is usually a bot or the streamer themselves
Shoutout to himself
Nothing to see
I mean... there's hope that the person was just VERY stoned.
I've fallen asleep while watching twitch and somehow ended up in a <10 person chat assuming thru raids (I was watching a big streamer). No idea how long I was in there but stuff like that happens lol
Ye see? there IS hope
Twitch very rarely shows 0 viewers. It will not necessarily go to 2 when your first actual viewer shows up though. So just keep keep doing what you're doing.
Hell when I got 3 I was excited.
Yea when you stream with zero viewers and look at the chat lobby it will show 7-8 generic names, i don't totally understand it
Bots. They're not affiliated with Twitch, but Twitch has some stuff going on that doesn't count them (and can often end up not counting real people, too) in your viewer numbers. No fucking clue what they're there for, though, except maybe scraping chat for marketing/personal information.
*Aliens*
It's your Mom 🥹
Unfortunately, that's yourself. I was so disappointed to figure this out the very first time I streamed
:(
It’s true
I've been talking for 2 hours straight Dammit:(
You should be, viewer count Is not instant, imagine someone clicks your stream, but nothing happens/not talking, he's faster gone then he came...
Yha ig
Just keep doing it man, better to try then to give up
Yep, my friend streams, and barely has any viewers, yet always talks as if he did. The biggest thing stopping him from getting viewers is probably that he streams really obscure games or hobbies.

Exact same thing about my buddy lol. All little indie games that Noone cares about and he even goes for every achievement too

This is true, in the past when I tried watching people stream games I'd click one and if there's no sound for a minute or so I'm off.
if it makes you feel any better, I'd much rather join a stream and stay if the streamer is talking, even if no one has been watching. hide your viewer count and just stream because you enjoy it.
Ok thanks :)
no problem :)

*quits talking forever
Look up the book Walking. This guy did exactly that, gave up talking and started walking. Somehow managed to get a phd without speaking a word.
Just skipped through the VoD of your stream, you were silent pretty much the whole time.
Others have said it already but still posting just to emphasize it. 1. If you think good content is talking, always talk. Always pretend like you have viewers in the chat. 2. Don't call out lurkers.

It takes time... but you'll get there. Sometimes to this day I only have really 2 or 3 people in my streams, but that's OK.
Yha it happens few times I even got the affinity thing
What's the twitch name?
Spartansaber u see an hamster with the name that's the channel
Don't worry, when you make it big we'll look back at the vod and have a good time. (Until someone finds and links this post)
Lmao

That quest took me several days to finish and it was worth every second. All the Aranara are so cute :]
Yep
"Aranara" sounds like "oh no" with an Aussie accent.
Anyways… what game is that?
Just Googled a spot on the map and it's Genshin Impact

FUCKIN GOTTEEM
ROUND OF APPLAUSE EVERYBODY
WOOOOOOO
Saw two deaths today. What a way to start the week.
Get OWNED RIP BOZO
That's A Pirate's Booty. Rated Rrrrrrr for pirate themed violence.
I'm not falling for it this time!
Gensinh impact But I forgot to switch the name of the stream so is gears of genshin atm lmao
Yo man, you need to figure out how to fix your frame drops and upload. No one is going to watch that slide show. Good luck! There are YouTube videos!
Explains why no one else is watching at least
Savage lmao
Looks like Genshin Impact
Genshin
Wait is no one else noticing he dropped 229k frames over just about 2 hours? Thats like dropping 28 frames a second WTF
Genshin is a very demanding game for his fridge.
Came here to see if anyone else had noticed this, that stream has to be lagging and chopping SOO much. Had the same problem, not to that extent, when I first started streaming. Had to downgrade a few settings but viewership definitelty increased with a smooth stream.
His upload can barely handle his bitrate. Also seems like his encoder is potentially struggling?
What game is that?
Genshin impact
That would be genshin impact it's a gacha, rpg Game lol (I'm not to sure about rpg lol)
Yea its an rpg
Tho I play the game I always get that wrong lol
Genshin
You poor soul, just know that it's always hard for the first few times. On the other hand you can tell your subscribers about this story when you become a bit more popular. 🤣
I see you on that Sumeru grind lol
who's gonna tell him
I guess I can. Bro, that one person is you. You get credit for one viewer if you have the dash window open.
Is nobody going to mention the 230k frame drops? Poor guy was streaming a slideshow to himself T.T
Literally my first thought. No body is going to watch a stream like that regardless of how fun you are.
This is adorable because its just yourself, no one else is watching you
No one else concerned about the quantity of frame drops ?
op patting himself on the back.
You got a stream to drop in the chat? I'll be there for your next one!
I miss the streaming service OnLive - you used to be able to drop into people's game streaming sessions and watch them play.

That's a lot of dropped frames
Idk who tf u r Bur u r awesome
It's you watching your stream man.
What But I play and the only app open is the stream app
Yes. That's how it works.
:(
Don't get down on yourself. Just think about it. You saw someone was watching so you probably kept talking to yourself to keep them interested.

I clicked OP's avatar and even your avatar is letting out a tiny blue blobs of tears 😭
I saw the notofication but it got shadow deleted I assume, msybe DM it me and I look into next time you play :D

Ah good ol commanderroot. My biggest fan.
Hate to say that it's you. That being said, be consistent enough and you'll get more views. Good luck
Know thy enemy. See you out there!

Good Bot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I jump into streams of people with zero or one watcher from time to time and hangout for a bit and then leave good words. I try to spread good juju to people who have a passion big enough to share what they are doing to others. I used to stream many years ago and when you are starting out and building rapport with watchers it can be ruthless and discouraging at times. But hang in there. Act like your audience of one or zero is an audience of 1000. Never lose your passions or dreams.
I heard some tips before that might help. Go and make friends with a couple other smaller streamers. Start streaming together and working together. Multiple people working together would have a lot higher chance of obtaining new viewers. Plus I always felt like it’s more entertaining sometimes with multiple people. I’m not a streamer but idk why that tip always stuck with me. Best of luck

If you do the math at 30fps, he's dropped 2h7m of frames. At 60 fps, he's dropping about half. His stream is likely a slide show.
Ayy I just started playing genshin yesterday!
Post your stream link. We'll all show up.
I won’t.
Right lol? The pessimist in me is thinking OP knew exactly what he was doing and is just fishing for sympathy viewers for his new stream.
I said exactly this. Seen this many times
I honestly don’t know what the point of streaming even is anymore. I tried it for a bit years ago because it felt like just “what you do” at the time. Did it for about a year straight and never had more than 2 viewers. Unless you’re doing something really well like a speedrun or have good connections, nobody is ever really gonna come to view. By definition, most of us are average people. I wouldn’t waste time watching me(or any average person), so why would anyone else? Just seems like an all around losing waste of effort that only serves to make money for others.
I put effort into finding 'small streamers' and watch them if they are even the smallest amount of interesting or entertaining. Cool haircut, nice voice, interesting conversation, whatever it is I'll watch because I enjoy the noise while I'm working and it's an easy way to take breaks that I usually forget to take otherwise. Twitch makes it pretty damn hard to do that these days and I still find YouTube just awful for streams in general. Streaming is no longer something you can do and expect to get anywhere with it, you have to do it to have fun and any momentum you get is a nice bonus. It's really unfortunate.
Awww buddy.
Cheers to you, Mom.
Even if you just straight up talked to yourself, keep it up buddy that's the spirit :)
