    Yeah I don’t understand it either. I dabbled in some occasional streaming of games I play, but I mostly do it for fun or when I play a single player game and miss the occasional chat you get to have in most multiplayer games.

    Usually I have 4 or 5 viewers, from which I suspect two might bots, but it’s cool either way. I don’t try to monetize it or even build up followers, so that takes a lot of stress out of it and helps keeping it fun for me.

    The last thing that came to me would be to bitch at my handful of regulars for being not enough lol.

      Ya, there is literally endless amounts of content to consume. The fact that anybody at all thinks that watching you is better than the endless media pile is awesome.

      I have about 800 YouTube subscribers and that took about 10 years for me to get with my very niche hobby videos. I think it’s awesome that people take the time out to watch and comment. I would never blame the people watching for my view counts, that would be so silly.
