I (M22) was big into streaming a few years ago. I gained 153 followers in a month in 2022. I was going at it and then I just got bored. Kept trying to come back, and back and more and I just kept getting discouraged.

I never get new chatters, ever. Even my streamer friends only lurk and don’t say a word. So somedays I just steam for 1 hour and I look at chat which has been silent and I’m like- I might as well just be gaming by myself at this point- and shut the stream off.

I know I need to have patience but idk if it’s because streaming is so saturated now or if it’s because I play cod, battlefield and Fortnite but it’s so hard on me to keep streaming when I know almost no one comes to chat.

My streaming goals used to be centered around getting popular but now I just want to have a consistent community and have fun doing it.

Any tips?

EDIT: Any tips on talking to myself would be great too. I don’t really know how
