shouldnt be an issue
even when i was working it was a couple days a week and i found myself at my desk 12+ hours a day playing games / researching / watching ppl do the same thing i do so why not join :baby:
I thought this too, I got a check from twitch every month was doing alright with 30-100 viewers.
Not much but enough to pay some bills which was cool.
the main difference between gaming off stream I noticed is freedom, that may sound weird but being able to sit down play a game and not having to worry about interacting/being entertaining was so stress free. You often get locked into 1 game too with your crowd, if you're not playing that game where you gained them, they're gone.
I eventually got to the point where I kinda dreaded pressing "start stream" and I did not enjoy playing video games for an audience anymore.
I just didn't enjoy the stress of it anymore or the way it made me feel like I was going to work.
If I was to do it over again, I'd try to raise a following by focusing on entertainment instead of playing video games.
That way when you play some games it doesn't matter, people are there for you, not because you're good at a game.
Take all the information you can from medium streamers and analyze smaller ones.
The people with mass followings are not an example, they are the 0.01% and can provide some information but all the pains of growth are out for them, they will rarely have any advice that's relevant to you besides generic shit.
