I started streaming last year, purely for the enjoyment and to socialise with people in the communities I& #39;m a part of. But, I can& #39;t help but feel frustrated with the progress of the channel (A Thread)
It was a slow start, as I didn& #39;t stream very often due to not having a planned schedule, and, after a break due to mental health issues, I returned with a stream schedule. Then I ended up getting a quick rise in followers. Soon enough, I was edging close to being an affiliate.
But here& #39;s the thing; one of the requirements to being even considered an affiliate is to have a minimum average of 3 viewers. I& #39;ve hit all the other goals, and yet, barely anyone comes to the stream.
Don& #39;t get me wrong, I& #39;m grateful of the visitors I do get. I& #39;m just frustrated that I see others new to streaming becoming affiliates after up to 2 weeks. And, again, don& #39;t get me wrong, as I& #39;m happy for their success. I& #39;m just wondering if I ought to be doing this.
Lately I& #39;ve been watching the figures and paying more attention to succeeding, rather than focusing on my enjoyment of doing the streams in the first place. I& #39;m starting to think that I& #39;ve lost sight of everything.
Apologies to anyone I may offend with this thread. I& #39;m just voicing my frustrations and self reflecting. I probably come across as an ungrateful mard-arse. And for that, I apologise.
I think I need a break...
