I started streaming last year, purely for the enjoyment and to socialise with people in the communities I'm a part of. But, I can't help but feel frustrated with the progress of the channel (A Thread)
It was a slow start, as I didn'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's the thing; one of the requirements to being even considered an affiliate is to have a minimum average of 3 viewers. I've hit all the other goals, and yet, barely anyone comes to the stream.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful of the visitors I do get. I'm just frustrated that I see others new to streaming becoming affiliates after up to 2 weeks. And, again, don't get me wrong, as I'm happy for their success. I'm just wondering if I ought to be doing this.
Lately I'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'm starting to think that I've lost sight of everything.
Apologies to anyone I may offend with this thread. I'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...
