"Do this so that people engage in your stream" number of chatters-0. "Oh hey, none of your notifications are even being checked, loser."😭

i haven't gotten email notifs from twitch in over a year. something is broken with them but they cba to fix it.

adrienbryter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Literally me.

What're you streaming?

byelacey.bsky.social•3 days ago

world of warcraft 🙈 heheheh

adrienbryter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh man, I used to play WoW on private servers but that was like... Burning Crusade 😂

taliseian.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are tools?

Don't care. I just stream the games I want and I don't worry about it.

If you're not having fun, then why are you doing it??? :)

You know what's even worse than that? Trying to start out as a streamer and going to YouTube to look up "streaming tips" and you get BOMBARDED with videos like "DO THESE THREE THINGS TO BOOST YOUR VIEWERS!" or "HERE'S WHY YOU'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH PEOPLE WATCHING!"

But if you're not enjoying it, you're gonna burn out a lot easier!

I'd much rather that Amazon, the parent company of Twitch, focus on their handlers of people's packages NOT finding themselves in unflattering positions while on the job, and giving them a livable work environment, that they don't union bust, and that they consider their own image and PR. 🙏🏻

byelacey.bsky.social•3 days ago

okay

ajluis101.bsky.social•3 days ago

That is to say, their priorities could use a bit of work, my best wishes to you, ofc~!

jazzadelegames.bsky.social•3 days ago

YES oml like I don't want to know x less people were in my stream today, said people have lives!!! They don't have to be at all my streams all the time!! Fun fact: They **never** have to be any any of my streams !!! Leave me alone!! I have viewer number off for a reason!!!! 😫

HOLY SHIT AGREED
I hit partner a year ago and immediately burnt out from the pressure to keep engagement high and the culture i had been told i should be gunning for. 😭

byelacey.bsky.social•3 days ago

it's rough!!

jessicalunacy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I feel that. Twitch seems really well designed at making me feel like a failure and/or overwhelmed with recommendations after every show.

drakonis.monster•3 days ago

if you're not making number go up and side hustling at all times, what are you even doing

(note: this is a joke and I do not subscribe to this thinking)

figiment.bsky.social•3 days ago

So true 😭

sean8urson.bsky.social•3 days ago

oh my god dont get me started

the "currency/economy" system is so fucking strange and weird

actively welcoming a new platform that is just streaming no bullshit

if people wanna support you can link a patreon or kofi and they get an unlisted stream link or somethin

NO TIME FOR FUN HUSTLE HUSTLE HUSTLE HUSTLE

byelacey.bsky.social•3 days ago

do you think you can just have hobbies?? in THIS economy???

xopeachi.com•3 days ago

The amount of times I sign off like "Wow, that was such a fun stream!" and then immediately get bombarded with "ACTUALLY YOU ARE SHIT. PLAY THIS INSTEAD." from Twitch

redria64.bsky.social•3 days ago

Twitch: STREAM THIS GAME YOUVE NEVER HEARD OF SO YOU CAN OPTIMIZE YOUR POSITION IN THE QUEUE FOR MAXIMUM VISIBILITY

me: how about I stream Rune Factory 2 instead

itsphysicsjim.bsky.social•3 days ago

You mean like this?

quoththekraven.bsky.social•2 days ago

My regular 1 viewer has gone from offering me graphic design services to view purchasing services. That's progress baby!
