Twitch Collabs = Twitch Success, That's Why I Don’t Do Them: Aris on the “Streamer Meta”

#Twitch #Collabs #AmongUs
Aris talks about why he prefers to engage with his audience more than with other streamers, even though it probably hurts his viewership/metrics

[@energyflash_tk]

I've been watching Aris since 2012, around the time tag 2 launched. I also have been a mod on his channel since 2015. Aris' channel grew because of his authentic personality. He always played the games he enjoyed and never chased trends or forced himself to play 'the hot new thing'. He never tried hard, never had any stream overlays and he still uses the same 10 year old camera despite being a top 100 streamer on the site.

[@blondeepartygirl]

Yep

[@bobalopadus8901]

I feel like Aris' streaming mindset is so much more forward-thinking - you can see the mental pressure all these other streamers put themselves under by trying to chase success. His channel is about him doing what he wants to do and what he enjoys. It's all well and good going after success at any cost but it's also a quick route to burning yourself out

I respect him because of his decision to go his own way. People don’t tend to do that often.

[@BigDaddyWes]

He was doing this long before people were doing collab streams to share viewers. Technically the annoying Among Us collab streamers were the one's breaking the mold.

[@defanged7734]

That's exactly how Sodapoppin described Aris, he's a do whatever the fuck you want typa dude and it just works bc he's a naturally funny guy

[@CF565]

It's why I watch him- all the trend-chasers and engagement-drivers are fucking vapid- it's so obvious that most of them don't give a fuck about what they're playing. It's the Twitch version of KZbin clickbait.

[@bennymountain1]

The true Sigma male. To be fair Aris started this trend himself collabing with Rickstah in RE5 6 years ago.

[@13Kr4zYAzN13]

Idk. That's different Like for him, he was just playing a game with a bro. We just happened to be watching lol

[@myosotis8856]

Try watching a stream of your favourite KZbinr playing Among Us and you can tell that they're trying so hard to be entertaining because they're in it to make content and money, which is not really a bad thing per se, but one of the reasons why Aris' streams are so fun to watch is because you can feel him genuinely being a fun guy, and that there's not too many moments in his streams where he runs out of things to talk about and is just silent for a few minutes, unlike most streamers out there. You can also feel his genuine hatred when he says "shut the fuck up bitch"

[@TheAgeratos]

The day I see Aris do some kind of collab stream or he's playing a game with other people and talking to them via discord or some shit will be such a shocker. And not even in a bad way. It'd be interesting to see, though.

[@hospie]

His thoughts on this topic are really interesting, and you can tell he's being sincere about doing things because they're fun and not because they'd be beneficial to his "career". Aris has created a very unique space in the internet and he seems to appreciate it as much as his fans do :)

[@dylanh.3793]

Doing whatever is popular can definitely lead to short term success but the burnout effect is like 10x so people break down easily. It’s much easier on your body and mind to just do what you enjoy.
