love the experiment, it's low-key showing how hard it is as a new streamer, marketing is king!

[@thirtyred7091]

Especially on KZbin, there is literally no discovery or algorithm

[@WrestleGermainia]

@@thirtyred7091 Yeah 100%, KZbin definitely sucks on the streaming side of things especially for discovery. I used to pop a Twitch stream on every now and then when I was bored some years ago and I'd get a few random viewers and I'm a nobody without any overlay or facecam, I don't think this would have lasted long on Twitch lol

Only really applies to youtube streaming

[@Gooner184]

@@vibratios Not really, it's very hard to build a large audience on Twitch as well as the market is already so saturated.

Should do the same thing but on Twitch and then compare

[@xClarky_]

But now people will be looking for it, so maybe a break first?

[@FalloutRoblox]

Streaming on youtube after creating your channel is the most dumbest thing a person can do. First, upload videos to build your channel to like 50k subs or 100k and then start streaming but on twitch it's much easier for sure!

[@ditokelio7860]

Would be much better because of categories and twitch algorithm

​@BlesswinJefferson calm down bozo

[@FalloutRoblox]

Go to twitch or kick, it's infinitely better on those websites than KZbin. If you want to stream on KZbin then I suggest building up your channel first to 50k subs or 100k by uploading videos before streaming
