i think you get my point even if my words werent clear. the real message is to not try so hard and asking me where to move your camera once you shrink it is thinking 100 steps ahead of where you are

it does beg the question of what you think my next step is. either way my pegs are sufficiently low, they really are. i go for hours sometimes without a single viewer. not even someone coming in and then leaving, noone coming to my channel at all. it would be nice to have viewers, i wouldnt have taken the time to get this far if i wasnt interested, but i'm just grateful that someone has said "hey, i don't think this works, maybe try this" you have to be interesting, funny, attractive, or basically any of the qualities that you were unfortunately not blessed with I would usually agree with this but some of the top streamers are zero of those things. lirik is dumb as a rock, imaqtpie looks like....well let's just say you would never call him handsome, nightblue3 doesn't have a camera and also isn't very funny or interesting, he's just good at commentating. sodapoppin is decent looking and has an okay personality I guess. phantomlord is also zero of those AND annoying as billy-goat, still gets thousands of viewers. so really I think it boils down to gameplay, commentating, and/or just a generally loud or easy-going personality. I coudn't agree more. There is some really annoying piece of shit that streams fifa15. well i say that, half the time he's bellowing D-D-D-D-DROP THE HYYYPEEEEE into his mic as loud as he can, and i've only ever caught him playing one game, in all the hours he streams. adam_ak, probably due to his apprearance at all the marathons, is currently playing GTA:SA for close to 2000 poeple, but he has no facecam, and doesnt talk all that much, he isn't even all that good at the game. but he's eclising the peak viewer count of the biggest speedrunners by a huge margin. why? it's just luck of the draw sometimes, but it can snowball. if you have intersting people in your chat to interact with, it will persuade more people to stick around if they only happened upon your channel.

it reminds me a band in high school that picks out a kool name and album title and thinking about all the fans they will have when really what they need to do is shut up and practice so they actually earn those things naturally
you made this same exact thread months ago about being a video game reviewer and im sure that took off as well. just work at it more. dont bicker with people, just do it more and try different stuff and if it doesnt happen then go work in a warehouse

I didn't say it was luck of the draw, I don't think that's the case at all.

The band could be the next billy-goating Beatles, but unless they do something to actually let people know they exist, they may forever be condemned to failure. I started the thread to say, "Hey, I'm here if you fancy watching" in the same way a band might say "hey, we're doing a show". I haven't come up with specific reasons for why everything everyone has said to me is stupid and that it's my stream and they should like it or lunp it. It's envitable that you guys will say something, and I'll take it on board. With regards to the fact that I made the same thread months back, well yeah I did. I'm throwing shit at a wall to see if something sticks, for me and the viewer.

I just realized you are Charlieh, which is probably why you're being given a hard time. I say, go for it, enjoy what you're doing, don't look to become "insta-rich" or something. Just have fun and if people watch, cool, if not, oh well, just enjoy the game you're playing.
Constructive criticism is cool but unfortunately its hard to take anyone here serious whether they're being funny or an asshole, etc.

So what's going on in this thread is that some folks are angry because they may have clicked on it were faced with an image of a quiet, fat sad sack playing video games and something deep in their soul just broke
Pretty bad thread overall I'd say. Too long with a bunch of opinions and stuff, and most of the opinions are really more like onions because they make you cry, like most things in this thread.
Sadness factor - 5/5 tl;dr - 5/5 Kingtide - 0/5

ok so do your stream then. that is my suggestion. if you are curious what we think about it, but get upset if we dont like it, then do not ask. instead, do your stream if that is what you want to do

you have to be interesting, funny, attractive, or basically any of the qualities that you were unfortunately not blessed with I would usually agree with this but some of the top streamers are zero of those things. lirik is dumb as a rock, imaqtpie looks like....well let's just say you would never call him handsome, nightblue3 doesn't have a camera and also isn't very funny or interesting, he's just good at commentating. sodapoppin is decent looking and has an okay personality I guess. phantomlord is also zero of those AND annoying as billy-goat, still gets thousands of viewers. so really I think it boils down to gameplay, commentating, and/or just a generally loud or easy-going personality. i dont care i just like being an asshole

just play your shitty games but instead of a facecam just run a looping video of a dog wearing a headset so they think its the dog playing the game
