He's right starting out is hard as fuck. People can stream for 3 years and only get 20 viewers. So they play a popular game. Problem is every game on Twitch has its top streamer. So you get blocked out by them. Also it doesn't help that twitch organizes streamers based on views and popularity. They need to add a new streamers tab or something
