For example, I had a South American hype group for Diablo 3, and I was one of the highest-ranked players on the rift server, which we call a high- level rift game. And then, I'd arrive at Diablo groups and say, "Guys, live online, I'm doing high-level rifts," and people would freak out, posting pictures of "Damn, the girl is doing monstrous stuff!" And I'd say, " My live stream is in Diablo groups," in random Facebook groups, Diablo groups," in random Facebook groups, and so on. And I converted some people. In the meantime, the process was very slow because it the process was very slow because it 's very difficult to convert new people, you know? The journey of a small team is very complicated. You want to give up a million times before it actually works, but it really started to work when I started meeting other people who also did live streams. And then these people would say, "You'll Someone who already had a connection there, we shared our audience, like, that audience knew me. So, my audience grew, and I think that's something many streamers don't value as much—building these bridges, but these bridges are one of the most valuable things in live streaming because you don't need to have that person's audience, but if you play with someone, someone there, those might not watch your streams, they might be part of a specific audience, but if you play with them once, play against their team once, they'll start to know who you are. That's very valuable in this field. So that's how I grew. I first played my content for people to get to know me, and people started to get to know some other contacted me and said, "Wow, we don't do this outside of this, let's play together!" And then we started sharing our audience, and I kept going. We made contacts in this field, and I think that's true for any job, but in live streaming it 's equally important to have a lot of contacts. I know how big you are. Everyone wants to play, but when you 're small, not everyone makes room, right? small creators very upset sometimes when another guy is also having a low point, someone who gets hyped and then when they fall, we're also down. It's not worth it, it's annoying. It happens, yes, but this whole thing of going through a low point happens to every streamer at some point, and it's not just once. Like, you have ups and downs in your career all the time. If you're playing the game, Pablo, your numbers lose hype, your numbers drop. It's like that nowadays. I 'm used to this rollercoaster. You know, sometimes I have a lot of viewers, sometimes not so much, and that's okay. Nowadays, number of people watching me anymore. I focus on making content that I like and that I think is cool because if people realize that you're having fun, even if it's a watching, people will perceive the love for what you're doing and they will least one. A portion of their audience is very loyal, and many people get very loyal, and many people get discouraged during low points, like when they stop doing live streams saying, "Wow, my era is over," but no, my brothers are also very important not to get discouraged because there are ups and downs all the time and
