How many of you tried to make money with Twitch or Youtube

How many of you tried to make money with Twitch or Youtube.

Be honest.

You won't go anywhere if you're not an opportunist or good looking. Look at all the successful YouTube channels, the people behind them are attractive, easily within the top 20% of genetics.

I tried streaming for like 5 hours and only watchers were my friend

Probably a lot of teenagers.

not i

when i was 14 i put up a whole playthrough of dead space 1 on youtube that i filmed with a webcam

but then i realized i was neither well equipped or charismatic enough to acquire an audience and it would be foolish to heavily invest in such an iffy career

When I was like 15 in 2006 I tried to make a wacky dance video and share it everywhere to, and I'm quoting myself here, "become the next NumaNuma"

I hate streaming culture though so outside of commentating on stream a few times at tournaments for ~12-25 people I've avoided it

I don't have a twitch account and I've never uploaded anything to youtube

I made LPs on youtube and got up to about 5000 subs, but stopped because I graduated middle school in 2009 and realized it was taking up pretty much all my free time. I stream occasionally now. Affiliate, 80 viewers when I do stream, which is 3 times a week for 6 hours, I get around $100 a month from it. Nothing huge, but it bought me an s9 recently so that's cool.

I tried and it worked once.

I did, made a whole 2 bucks in my... geez I don't know how long I've been streaming, but I've been recording gameplay videos since before youtube existed.

I'm super interested in in the process and all the marketing you have to do but i know deep down that i'd never be confident enough on cam to pull of anything like that.

Seems like a fun side gig thing tho if you manage to hit a niche market

>friend wants to watch me play a game
>fuck it Ill put it upon twitch so he can watch for an hour or two
>realize after he left that there was like 100+ people in the chat
>saw messages like "how do i subscribe" and "where can i donate" and a bunch of random questions

Is it really that easy?

Ninja is moderately unattractive and look where he’s at.

Not for money but I did hope to at least grab attention. Didn't go so well and this was before the current streaming culture, also I wasn't the most charismatic or entertaining person to watch, which was fine with me anyway.
Not a fan of how streams are these days though, I much preferred the smaller streams like Sup Forums based ones back in 2011, even if most of them turned to ass within a year.

JonTron, Ethan, and Dunkie say hi. And those are just the ugly ones, most of the rest are about average looking.

had a friend who used to stream all our friend groups vidya sessions
we eventually stopped inviting him to play

my best bud online always talks about wanting to make a youtube channel with me so i get super nervous that he's recording out conversations and just uploading them

2mbps is actually not horrible. Better than australia as a whole, honestly. Just cap your bitrate at 1200 and you should be okay. Avoid anything very loud/crowded visually, and keep your resolution to 480p/600p and you'll be alright.
