How do you get an actual human person to watch your streams if you're an isolated weirdo with no friends?

not even asking for success or fame or fortune, just a chance to prove to myself whether or not I'm watchable as an entertainer

>>740449615
yes that's the point

as a fully developed human I have much more interesting insights and commentary. Theoretically.

best way to break into streaming is to focus on a super niche game on youtube and make guides for it to become a known content creator and link your stream profile.

Like say there is some free to play MMO that everyone thinks is shit but has 100k players in brazil, you make guides for that and build up a following then stream that for a while. Becoming a variety streamer is the best kind of streamer but much harder to do, you have to actually be entertaining if you arent spring boarding from youtube guides.
>>
>>740451675
so let's say I'm an arrogant enough asshole with enough confidence in my ability to be entertaining, riff on the game, riff on chat, and be generally interesting to watch and engage with

how do I get that initial audience? I'd have a better chance finding a good therapist to actually solve my problems than whatever the odds are of random people stumbling in and saying "hey I like this"

like ACTUALLY what do people do to get an audience? Should I pay an indian on fiverr?

Genuinely and unironically don't start with streaming. Start by making youtube videos. Do longform complaining about games, guides, commentary, memes, lore videos, whatever. Springboard from that as a variety game faggotlord that streams things more than he makes videos.
Streams require you to have bunch of people to agree to watch you at specific time and date, Youtube video can passively collect viewership forever. People like the way you talk, they might binge your videos and then decide that they might want to watch your streams to get more of their eceleb fix. Much easier to spread the word and catch people's attention - you have full control of the narrative in the video and can hook people instantly, but if they tune into the stream at wrong time they might not see anything interesting before they tune out.

It’s just fun to prod this loser. Cat threads are like a lightning rod for his autism and he’ll spend all day spamming a thread I just made and forgot about. I don’t know why he’s so angry 24/7 but it’s whatev

>>740454448

>>740454642
This and ironically do not stream for long periods. An hour or 2 max a day. People are more likely to watch you when you are exclusive
>>
>>740454642
The more effort I put into a youtube video the fewer views it gets. I tried when Arc Raiders was new, only my shorts got views and nowhere near enough to monetize.

You stream whenever you play and engage with viewers while making sure your voice sounds nice.
Streamers are like radio, gameplay itself is irrelevant people put them to have someone talk in the background.

people have existing things that they're interested in that would make them watch a stream. you have to be something that leverages one of those things.

like I dunno, mario 64 speedrunning has a community of people who watch it. If you were a world record capable mario 64 speedrunner you could build an initial huge audience off of that, then if you're a good entertainer your audience will come with you even if you quit mario and stream something else.

You can replace "mario 64 speedrunning" with basically anything where there is an existing audience interested in a topic and you can do something to provide that audience with the thing they are looking for. But if you're just joe blow and you have absolutely nothing to offer anyone in terms of reasons to watch you, you will not get that initial audience.

as a male, the only options available for streaming success are the following:
>be a natural leader, grow a community of gamers, with a good community, you can grow a fanbase easier
>be a lolcow, and attract attention from kiwi farms/4chan by doing stupid and embarassing shit while giving off the impression that you truly are mentally ill
>be a 10/10 sculpted demigod gigachad who will instantly gain huge female/faggot followings, and attract beta males through the leadership quality you possess

>>740459138
Oh certainly, I understand where you're coming from there. But I used to work with people like him, and the sad truth is that talking to them is always going to he fruitless. They cannot and will not improve, no matter how well you phrase what you have to say, no matter how kind you attempt to be to them. The absolute beat thing for the sake of your own time, and the quality of the board is to simply report his posts and move on. Sad, but what can you do? Some people are beyond help.
>>
>>740449514
You want to get involved in the community of another streamer who’s already big, become known, and then pop into their streams. From there, you can steal half of their audience to funnel into your clown-show. Streaming is engagement based, and they’ll appreciate being able to use you for content if you create enough engagement in their communities. It’s very much a personality thing and about putting yourself out there; if you just smack potato chips between your lips, let out an occasional guttural noise, and barely say anything then you’re not going to get anywhere.

It enables them. Look at Reddit, for example. Put aside all the dumb and bad shit about it for a second, and consider: do you think these weirdos and undesirablebles would comport themselves differently if they had a username and account history attaches to their posts? And more active moderation? That's why they actively avoid such sites and come here, instead. Plus, places with an inbuilt block feature mean you don't have to ever see another post from someone you think is mentally ill, past the first one.

They come here because they have nowhere else to go. No other places will tolerate them. Nobody in real life would put up with them either, so they have enormous amounts of free time to bother other users here.
