Most of the popular streamers I've seen affect really exaggerated personalities like children's show hosts or are children themselves, and it's pathetic for an adult to be entertained by any of them imo.

Same for all the youtube review shows and lets plays. Am i the only one that notices this. That all these productions are meant for literal 12 year olds.

I'm imagining people in their mid-twenties laughing aloud at the silly bacon minecraft guy who is visibly miserable as he forces laughter through the seventh hour of his nightly stream. Or maybe watching minecraftbacon is more of a subdued, relaxing experience, since i've seen different people in different places say they drift to sleep listening to his sweet voice on a regular basis

I'm going through the bacon mans videos and it's cool how he high fives the camera everytime someone donates a dollar to him. He's like a camgirl only instead of flashing tits he pretends he's your friend for a couple seconds, then sighs.

if you're bad at games my advise is to play retro games or something obscure that you're good at because there is probably surprisingly an audience for this because people are more likely to search for some bullshit game on twitch, than they are to goto the 40th page on whatever game is trending.

this times a million


except you don't need to be good at the games just the only one playing them. Also it can't be too obscure, gotta be above "Oh I heard of that, not sure if its any good though" but below "I loving love" because all the good popular games already have good popular streamers.

Engage your chat:
Give them a reason to stick around and be active, more viewers means higher results if you are playing a game with enough streams live that someone needs to scroll down. Don't, however, try to do this by watching the joins in an IRC client and saying hi to people who haven't said anything yet, that's just creepy. One of my favorite streamers would just keep asking his chat what their favorite kind of whatever was, then go off talking about their responses. Great way to both increase your interaction and keep dead air to a minimum.

You're going to want to find a user who's SN makes it obvious they're female (bonus points if they use their legal name as part of it) and make them mod to encourage a hugbox in the chat. The more people feel like your part of their support network the more likely they are to donate to you.

yeah you can do that too but you'll probably only ever hit like 15 viewers tops and no one will ever donate.

Internet pan handling is a lot more work than writing a sign that says "homeless vet anything helps god bless" and hoping no one asks to see proof.

You might want to try out hitbox.tv instead of twitch then. They only have like 8 seconds of delay caused almost entirely by latency whereas twitch's tech means you're never going to be better than 45 seconds behind live. No one cares for e-sports but it's really a lot nicer to have no delay for small gathering type things.
