no one can see your streams

that pie chart i have pulled up in the background shows "Broadcasters by partner/affiliate status who streamed in the past 365 days". what? you can't see the partnered streamers? it's right there next to affiliates! a mere 52,389 partnered streamers streamed on twitch in the past year. a drop in the bucket compared to the number of affiliated channels, which are themselves dwarfed by the vast number of so called community channels, which are channels that have no contract with twitch. some of the largest channels on twitch are community channels but almost 100% of them are streaming to literally no one, statistically speaking

editing in yet another link, this author talking about how you shouldn't give up your dreams, but also don't quit your day job in hopes of basically winning the algorithmic lottery
www.tiktok.com...
which is much like what thor (piratesoftware) says about making games. don't quit your job to go full time indie. use that job to support your dream
maybe i failed to say what i was trying to say which was mostly what was said in that gamedev marketing video, but aimed at content creators. btw, if you think oh well i'll just make tiktoks, or shorts, or "normal" videos. well. good luck with that. i mean it. i've been trying. this is a rough business to try to break into. i wouldn't recommend it, but if you are going for it, i wish you well and hope you approach it safely and sanely

I found this video by sheer luck so I mean idk maybe that shit works sometimes.

[@Scragg-]

KZbin videos are different than streams.

[@RED_XLR]

Not saying that luck isn't a factor, but you prolly saw a video that talked about not giving up your dreams or your youtuber or streaming dreams. Or something along the lines of this video, so it got recommended to you on the right side bar or just the home page of recommended.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Tbh as a longtime internet lurker, most streamers are just boring, and the popular ones are only fun some of the time, which is why clip channels are so popular. It's hard to be entertaining for over 4 hours multiple times a week without destroying yourself. Religion is right about false idols.

[@sypo.]

a tip ludwig mentioned and sounds reasonable - stream on the side, grow your youtube. then bring your subscribers over to twitch.

[@yeleoh]

Yup I think that's the most probable way to get bigger. Also now, with how big TikTok is, I also think it's important to grow your tiktok and bring them into youtube.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Thank you (not with this account obviously, the DoD funds Twitch).

[@JeremyHidari]

Can't finish this video. I have to say that I've spent a lot of time on twitch and youtube live, and I gave small streamers plenty of chances, BUT the reason small streamers are small is that they are NOT as good as big streamers. If they are good, they will be big.

[@jacobnicola5950]

1:05 Doesn't make sense because the truth is: The interface, chat, performance, latency and everything is actually subpar to twitch's, this may not be the case for big streamers but for smaller streamers its the case, to stream on youtube is a hassle because you need to be eligible first by putting a phone number, on twitch you just need to make an account using email and voila (its in their "help" articles), in conclusion, its incredibly easier to stream on twitch, that's why people prefer twitch over youtube for live streaming.

[@GhostGirlBlues]

you're right, but the context for what i was talking about in this video was discovery, which is the way in which streams are brought to the attention of potential viewers. youtube is really good at recommending content EXCEPT when it comes to live content. every platform is really bad at recommending live content for some reason

[@z400racerr910]

They literally only recommend onlyfans twitch girls on the platform. Ive had to nearly block them all. You go to a new stream, and you get greeted by 8 ads before you can even see whats going on. Discovery is dead, its the most dreadful task trying to find a new stream
