Shaming people on Twitch who look at their numbers objectively, by telling them that "people aren't numbers", is incredibly toxic.

Acknowledge that Twitch's algorithm works against you, and growing your audience requires thorough analysis.

That's just called being realistic.

I can't stand the mentality of some people who feel the need to diminish your hard work and your accomplishments in this way.

Being realistic, analytical and goal oriented doesn't mean you're not naturally growing an audience.

It also doesn't indicate a lack of appreciation.

Do you call an 80% on a test "just a mark" or do you call it an accomplishment?

Looking at your numbers is like studying for a test. It's not fucking telling people who watch my channel that they're just numbers lmfao.

That's so damn narrow-minded and irritating.
