Is it hard? and what platform should be used i was thinking kick but im not sure im just looking for something like twitch but not.
idk why but i have the urge to do many things and i guess content creation i sone of them but for gaming. so do i need a powerful pc to start with a quite backround or can i work with a low end pc with a bunch of fans blowing air and sometimes a noisy backround. i could probrably use some advice or tips becasue i would like to do this for fun if possible and i am a bit confused.
Regarding whether it’s hard…If you have a decent computer, good internet connection, and know your way around OBS (Open Broadcasting Software), it’s not terribly difficult to get started.
Now in terms of turning it into a business or career? That’s hard. Just about every major platform you might look to (Twitch, YouTube, maybe Kick as well) probably has some algorithm handling which channels are suggested & propped up to folks, and those algorithms are typically as clear as mud. You could stream/upload videos regularly with high production quality and because it doesn’t work with whatever the algorithm’s tuned to highlight to others, you find your efforts going nowhere.
Then one day all of a sudden you might have one or two videos that catch the algorithmic spotlight and get flooded with attention, but then nobody sticks around, and you might start beating yourself up over something you had no real control over.
So, the basics? Easy enough with some research. The business? As others have commented, it’s best not to go after it from that angle, but simply to stream and make videos if you enjoy it and don’t get too caught up in whether or not anybody’s seeing them. If you luck out and start getting some real attention, then sure, maybe try to turn that into something, but don’t bank on it, even as you try to turn it into something.
