This isn't cool at all Looshkin! These are dark forces you're titting about with!

I've been streaming on twitch for coming up to two years now, and am doing kinda okay with it (not making enough to live on, by any means, but absolutely making enough to upgrade my kit etc), and the OP has immediately made me think "Oh god I'm wasting my time I should be doing this on YouTube instead", so drat, that's a well-written and carefully put together post!

I know there's a bunch of stuff I should be doing to help grow it - like editing things for youtube/posting related tik toks etc - but I'm just...not. Then again, the main thing that I stream is cryptic crosswords, and I suspect that's just on the wrong side of niche to actually make anything big of it.

I'm currently at 1780 ish followers, and generally have an average of 40-50 viewers, streaming weekday lunchtimes (UK time). Someone kindly made me a channel intro video, which I'm currently using, but that's something else I should probably sit down and actually plan out.

I think I'm getting a bit antsy because the hours streamed is approaching the total followers, and that's going to give me The Bad Chemicals when it does. I mean, it was always going to, but it kinda feels like a weirdly not great mile stone, you know?

If anyone has any thoughts/experience of this sort of slump I'd be very happy to hear them!

My most recent bit of tarting it up has been getting a secondhand Fuji X-T20 camera and an Elgato camlink, which I'm excited to get setup and working, because hoo boy does that look better than the old camera I've been using!
