[01:11] Ah, it's what happens when you show up late for your own streams.
[01:52] live notifications? There we go. Everyone Everyone grab stream tuttle
[02:15] take out at there [Music] [Music] and then YouTube link
[02:32] Okay. Going live. Notifications out. Do you think there would be a better way to you think there would be a better way to automate that?
[03:04] And I think something's broken with YouTube.
[03:20] YouTube. Interesting.
[04:06] Yeah, I think I broke something. add display highlights. add display highlights. Oh, stream markers. That's new. Okay. Settings. What do I do here? Relay for brakes.
[04:32] Weird. Okay. YouTube is having some problems. I even try to pull up my own stream on a different browser and it doesn't pull
[04:48] different browser and it doesn't pull up.
[05:07] H. Okay. Well, it is what it is. Okay. Well, it is what it is. Might as well watch this video,
[05:19] get it going so I could at least have clips of the channel
[05:35] Pause. Let's realistic beautiful music theater mode. This this will be 100% blind, so I won't know what's going on.
[05:51] about. You see, after streamer games, I met a bunch of subscribers and you guys including questions about live streaming. And somebody asked me, If you had to start a Twitch channel
[06:04] from the ground up, could you become a successful streamer once again?" To talking in chat." Then they brought up a good point. I wouldn't have a chat to talk to. Now, not wanting to be the expert live streamer who doesn't know
[06:16] the answer to a question, I said, "Well, I would just talk as if there was a chat >> Well, and that's actually like a good very very good point. Uh even if you don't have anybody watching, you should definitely talk as if there's a chat
[06:29] there. That will just benefit you in the long run in case somebody actually does show up. There you go. You're good to go and you got no problems. So when they show up, they're thinking that, oh, okay, he's talking to somebody or she's
[06:43] talking to somebody and they're just able to continue from there. So no, talking to or you know, talking to yourself like you're talking to a chat, doing it right now. >> Can I actually do that? I can basically
[06:56] go live with any title at all and a few thousand people are guaranteed to show up. So, can I actually live stream with no chat? Or better yet, can I start a new Twitch channel and become successful again? Or was it all luck the first
[07:10] out. But first, I hate the luck. I had to make a new Twitch channel. >> Retired athlete 31. I have made my first ever Twitch account. retired athlete 31. This is my chat. Now, normally on my
[07:26] actual Twitch chat, there are always people there typing constantly throughout the day. >> Oh, of course. Ads, too. Yeah,
[07:41] >> Has no reason to have anybody in it because zero people follow this Twitch >> Zero people know it even exists. I'm hoping we can get some people in here. I know if anyone will even come in the first place, but I'm hoping I can get
[07:56] somebody in here. All right, let's just start in the biggest category in the world. Boom. What is up? >> So, starting in in that kind of category as a like a small view streamer, you're basically at the very bottom and it's
[08:11] going to be incredibly hard for anybody to be really seen. That's why I've always recommended start with, you know, a lower-end video game where there isn't a lot of people, a lot of competition. Make that game your
[08:24] of competition. Make that game your dedicated game. Um, and work off of there. Uh, gotas are super popular. Start with a gotacha game. What is up y'all? How we doing today? Chat
[08:37] chat, what is up? Welcome back to the stream. What's my goal today? My goal is one follower. I like that. Yeah, >> that's anal. All right. When that [ __ ] is complete, I'm a happy man. All right. Well, I'm
[08:51] just going to keep chat up on the side here and I I don't know. I guess let's just start let's just start doing some stuff today. So, first thing I wanted to do is I wanted to bang through my daily games. All right.
[09:04] games. All right. >> So, what I'm curious about is will his channel blow up because it's Lwig's face on the channel? Would he have been able on the channel? Would he have been able to do this with a V tubing avatar, with
[09:17] a voice synthesizer, or anything like that? That's what I'm really curious about. Is that accomplishable if it was accomplishable if it was not his face or his voice?
[09:35] there. Chad, what do you think? [Music] [Music] Oh. Oh my god. I got my first follower. Okay. Wait, are you a bot? Are you a real human? Newbie Twitch girly loves
[09:47] real human? Newbie Twitch girly loves cosplays. Follow for future streams and feeling >> that you are botting to follow a bunch of new accounts so that pathetic streamers like me click to see who you
[10:02] followers is a >> see that that's a huge problem on Twitch still is the follow for follow accounts and bot accounts I just follow you just to hope that you're going to click on their account nice edgy clicky title or
[10:17] their account nice edgy clicky title or uh or name for the account and hopefully even myself back in the day fell for that absolutely >> a bad metric of success for this challenge so really I have to ignore
[10:30] that because there's bots and I have to focus on having actual chatters. So, >> 5 minutes for the first follow, maybe 15 for the first chatter. Maybe 50 to beat my first Wordle. Okay, focus, focus, focus. This sucks cuz usually when I
[10:44] play Wordle on stream, I can just look over at chat and somebody's already given me the answer and I can cheat. But now I have no one I have no one to help cheat. I have I have to actually beat it. [ __ ] this is actually making me
[10:56] it. [ __ ] this is actually making me work. Okay. Okay. I am an English major. work. Okay. Okay. I am an English major. I can get this. Eat. Eat. I'm gonna [ __ ] lose it. I'm trying to do a game of words. This is embarrassing.
[11:09] >> Okay. Well, what what do we know? The only vowel it can be is an O emote. >> Yeah, I can never do this game, especially live on stream. I would just be way way way too frustrated.
[11:24] >> It's wordy. Okay, >> I'm stupid. I'm actually dumb. I'm straight up dumb without chat. This is [ __ ] proving so much to me. I'm I'm genuinely nothing without them. X [Music]
[11:37] do >> X tot X toll. Oh, >> Yeah, I can never play this again. >> That was amazing. >> Not not a chance. Not Not a thing. >> Well, uh it's been a little under half
[11:52] an hour. We hit our follower goal, but nobody has chatted yet. I'm realizing, however, even though Just Chatting is the largest category, yeah, >> it is probably the hardest to grow in. So, I think just chatting is too big of
[12:07] >> Literally, what I just said, >> it is way too hard of a category. Now, >> it is way too hard of a category. Now, I'm hoping he chooses a small game where or or something like a small gotacha game where the competition isn't that
[12:19] high and he's able to, you know, get a little bit of a of of of a foothold. >> So, let me switch my approach. How about
[12:31] I play peak? We're still at two. >> Okay. So, real quick, let's bring up Twitch. Let's bring up Peak right now. When he had it up, it was 8.5K viewers,
[12:43] 13.7. So, if we look at it, we go from high to low. What's the competition? high to low. What's the competition? 2.9.
[12:56] looking at peak to something like that. So peak is a decent category to start
[13:10] in. It's flooded with VTubers by the have gone with something a little bit smaller, but uh at the end of the day, it also matters that we make content
[13:22] outside of YouTube or uh outside of Twitch, like YouTube and whatnot. So that. >> Two awesome viewers. Yo, shout out to you two watching. Seriously, like even if you don't chat genuinely, that [ __ ]
[13:35] is that means the world to me. I'm talking to myself cuz I'm the only accounts. It's me on two accounts. It's literally me on two accounts. Okay. [ __ ] it, dude. >> If you're going to get anything done,
[13:47] >> That's the thing that that's what a lot of big streamers forget is how hard it is when you're smaller to talk to yourself. yourself. [Music]
[14:07] Get me out. >> So, one thing we're noticing right away, right off the bat, is normally when I've watched Lewig in the past, he's talking to Chad all the time. Now, he's hyperfocused on the game. Talking out
[14:20] loud, which a lot of streamers and YouTubers don't do. Uh especially in the lower portion from uh if we start from low to different people, they're not really talking to themselves, talking to chat
[14:34] or anything like that. Um, you know, of course they don't have a chat, but not talking about what you're doing in game makes the stream sounds super silent. And honestly,
[14:54] thing to do. Fitting topic. I think this is a good topic. I like this topic.
[15:15] >> So, almost an hour in, still no chatters. Absolutely normal. >> Who the [ __ ] am I? I think my ankle was off. I also choked getting in. So, someone like Lewig,
[15:28] who looks like Lewig, that's known as Lewig, is also struggling at the 1 hour mark as a brand new streamer at high category games, while this one's a lower category game, right? Not that
[15:43] many viewers, but you know, just chatting stuff like that couldn't be seen. >> It was a bit of a throw. Okay, I get why people view bot. What the [ __ ] are you supposed to do on Twitch if you
[15:55] don't view bot? You're just stuck in damned hell waiting for one person to understand why someone would want a viewbot. I'm not condoning it. >> But if you view bot, you'll have real people in there because you just appear
[16:08] >> The rich get richer. >> Yep. That's how exactly it works. >> Come on, baby. Well, and and they talked about too for the longest time how even
[16:23] the top people Deon Nash has brought it up several times where, you know, the top 1 percentage of of Twitch streamers still viewbot. So, if the very tippity still viewbot. So, if the very tippity top streamers are viewing,
[16:37] that kind of makes you think, okay, you know, there is a an actual problem on Twitch. Now, the view botting actually pays out quite a bit uh for ads and such back in the day when ads actually paid out really well. Uh apparently ads don't
[16:51] pay out as good as they used to, but you could make money off view botting very easily. >> Come on, Caldera. I [ __ ] lit I lit it late. I lit the flare late. This could be my PB though.
[17:06] I could have done this faster. Five, four, three, two. PB, PB, give me that sub one. It's not us. I would guess 127.
[17:19] >> 12. >> No idea. Okay, that's fine. I I I I definitely can save an hour of time off that. 100%. Wouldn't it be nice if
[17:34] that. 100%. Wouldn't it be nice if that I wouldn't have to stream alone? Wouldn't it be nice? Okay, I got to stop singing. Bro, singing is not what brings viewers. What brings viewers? Oh, what if I thirst
[17:47] >> Okay, singing could bring viewers if you were good at singing. Especially random songs. If you could sing random songs, have a good voice, and maybe play like
[17:59] an instrument at the same time while you're in between matches or something. Uh, Veraritoss did that quite often. He'd whip out the guitar between Escape from Tarov matches, start singing, started playing random tunes. Those
[18:13] could be really good. People always talked about, "Hey, you know, play this. Oh, play that." >> In the thumbnail, I'm hotter.
[18:26] Also true. Sex does sell. It's unfortunate, but it is true. Sex does unfortunate, but it is true. Sex does sell. So, being more of an attractive person definitely can help. >> I'm going with a white tank top because
[18:40] thumbnail and they're going to go, "Damn, that that dude does look like a retired athlete. He's definitely got the body of someone He's definitely got the body of someone retired.
[18:57] >> The awkwardness. I love that. I just love the awkwardness. Totally been there. Totally done that a 100 times over for years and years and years and over for years and years and years and years and years.
[19:13] >> One more ad. He has ads all throughout his video, which is good. first stream, but I guess if you're asking how long I've been streaming >> Yeah. >> What sport did you used to play that
[19:27] you're retired from? I used to be a professional water polo player >> for Malddova. I was pretty good. I made it to Olympic trials, but I have a debilitating birth defect called pectis excavatum. Why are you making up fake
[19:41] chat messages so when the real ones come, I'm ready for them? come, I'm ready for them? Actually,
[19:53] it's not a bad idea to practice that stuff, especially if you got like a channel name of that name. That's it's not bad idea to practice those kind of questions if you're ever asked them. But yeah, it's also a good way to fight
[20:07] yeah, it's also a good way to fight loneliness. Go all smegle. interview with somebody for a job, you do a mock interview. >> Yep. If you're going to do the SATs, you do a PSAT. The LSATs, you do the PRA to
[20:21] >> You want to make a three in the game, you shoot a three in practice. any more fake chat questions cuz you Uh well, >> I got a PB in the game. Peak.
[20:35] Unfortunately, did not get a PB on Twitch.tv. Still sitting at two viewers and no chat messages. >> Stream rolling, bro. I'm having [ __ ] fun streaming with you, chat. This is a
[20:49] fun streaming with you, chat. This is a blast. might be the worst game for him to stream if you're a single uh you know,
[21:01] like like you got no viewers. If we go Oh, okay. Only gives you either recommended or high to low. Interesting. But if we go to something like
[21:18] Days to Die. Actually, that's probably the worst one. Never mind. Uh, I default to that because I love that game. PUBG. PUBG is a good one. Uh, something PUBG. PUBG is a good one. Uh, something that's fast-paced, keeps your mind busy,
[21:33] there not being too many chatters, but still gives you the ability to talk about what's happening in game. Skyrim also one of those games too that can get you a little bit of hyperfocused. Absolutely. Um Red Dead one that you
[21:48] could also play. Story rich. Uh and honestly a lot of a lot of people especially in story rich games love to come in ask you your opinion about said game or hey have you done this have you done that? So there is some common
[22:02] ground that you can start talking about certain things where the game he was playing I don't think there is much common ground of for people to talk uh unless you're a little bit popular. Um but you know games down here it's
[22:15] action-packed can definitely help you a lot and again you want to talk about what you're doing in game until at least somebody shows up to make conversation with you. >> I miss my chat dude. I miss them. I'll
[22:30] be honest. I was sitting on the toilet watching my own stream, thinking about watching my own stream, thinking about how I don't want to go back cuz it is hard. It's so hard streaming >> to [ __ ] nobody. I'm talking to a damn
[22:45] helpful. >> All right. >> All right. >> But but what he just did here, right here, fantastic clip. fantastic clip for you to upload on YouTube, Tik
[22:59] Tok, Instagram, so on so forth. Have little pop-ups like you guys see on my stream, relaying them to your Twitch channel, right? Twitch very much needs outside growth for you to catch any kind of
[23:14] traction. >> A damn wall here and the wall is not >> All right, I need to lift up my energy and I need to increase my spirits. So to do that, I'm going to go get a hot dog. I'm going to eat it as fast as I can and
[23:29] then I'm going to come back >> and that will rejuvenate me and we will get our first chatter. >> I will play a video for everybody. >> Why am I worried about entertaining my [ __ ] chat? There's nobody here. Who
[23:41] >> Just leaves an empty chair, which a lot of people do. A lot of people do that.
[23:55] I've seen I've seen so many so many small streamers leave their chat for 10 20 minutes, wonder why no one comes back. back. Have something have have a replay of
[24:09] your own videos or something your own live streams just playing in the live streams just playing in the background. >> and my friends had a debate the other day as to whether Joey Chestnut or
[24:27] Usayan Bolt would win a 100 meter dash? But both of them have to eat a hot dog before running. How fast can Joey Chestnut reasonably eat a hot dog? Chestnut reasonably eat a hot dog? >> We are live on Netflix and underest
[24:42] >> We are live on Netflix and underest >> What the [ __ ] in less than 3 seconds? How to eat hot dog fast. >> People always ask me how I eat a hot dog >> Okay, >> you take the hot dog like this.
[25:00] >> With that, yes to credit. >> Okay, so a lot of guys can relate to that. We do eat incredibly fast. Uh so I'm not surprised eating a hot dog. Very relatable. Crash out meal. But yeah, no, we we have the ability to
[25:16] eat food super fast. Three bites is a little too fast. You're not really digesting. You're more more so choking at that point or risking choking at that point. So definitely not something you should do.
[25:30] >> So anyway, we tried doing this, at least I tried doing it, and it took me a dog. >> I'd love to do it faster. >> I'd love to do it faster. >> We have one hot dog. This is a Nathan's
[25:44] Beef Frank. >> Again, another great clip. If he showed, you know, the other guy eating in three seconds, he's showing, oh, I can eat it seconds, he's showing, oh, I can eat it in XYZ seconds. And then, oh, okay, make
[25:57] faster. Oh, I did a little bit faster. Now I hate eat hate eating hot dogs because hot dogs are absolutely horrible after the hundth in a row. after the hundth in a row. The goal is to eat it as fast as
[26:12] possible. One man, one hot dog. All right, come on. Lock in.
[26:24] He's dipping it. Oh my god.
[26:37] that was >> I don't know. 16.5 seconds. It feels a to enjoy it. >> I don't know. That a little bit too fast. >> Fast.
[26:53] >> Fast. I can do it. I can beat Joey. I can do it. I can beat Joey. >> God damn, bro. That strategy is broken. That is broken. I could have shaved easy. I could do that in 12 seconds. I
[27:06] >> All right, chat. We're switching gears. I've had already a 2hour 40minut stream. I would love if I could complete this challenge. So, I'm going for a Hail started >> even in a wet hot dog. That's so gross.
[27:21] >> I'm going to play Super Smash Brothers Melee. Honest to God, it's kind of like Melee. Honest to God, it's kind of like showing up to a GameStop. Okay, I think Super Smash might actually be a good choice. 114 viewers.
[27:38] a good choice. 114 viewers. It's action-packed. There's a niche for it. I think you could get a small viewership
[27:50] off it. This person's here at 7115 115, could actually do something pretty good with that. GameStop in the mall. >> And it's also a game that you got to
[28:03] really hyperfocus on and you can talk about non-stop while you're playing. mall. If this doesn't work, we'll switch gears again. All right, let's see it. >> Latina Guts. >> I haven't touched this in forever. My
[28:19] >> Probably since the N64. >> Wait, is this guy [ __ ] like top five in the world? What is up with his tech skill?
[28:33] grabs. >> Well, their tech skill is phenomenal. that's fine. >> See how much more he's talking now.
[28:57] fantastic. Exactly what you want. >> No way. I [ __ ] missed that back here. >> But he's also communicating. >> He went for some dumb hallelujah [ __ ] communicating is absolutely key because I've again seen people play games
[29:14] similar, well not similar to this, but other games say nothing. No, not a other games say nothing. No, not a single word. crickets the entire time.
[29:27] I read the rule. Hia,
[29:40] have a [ __ ] chatter to [ __ ] swag out to. What am I doing? [ __ ] Lwig out to. What am I doing? [ __ ] Lwig >> again. Another great clip. Seeing his character go to sleep. Jigglypuff. Him crashing out a little bit like that.
[29:55] Fantastic clip to post online. [Applause] Buddy, I got all day. I'm waiting for a viewer to show up.
[30:08] viewer to show up. [Music] >> God, I got no one to share this with. clips to share this moment with. clips to share this moment with. >> You got a stream deck. Clip it.
[30:22] >> You got a stream deck. Clip it. >> Got him. offense like that. >> Nice.
[30:51] >> it's just more Smash, right? >> Melee, a game that people Okay. Did it work? Did I get any new viewers during Melee? A game that people know me for? no. >> Okay, so there's that one smash. What's
[31:06] >> Okay, so there's that one smash. What's the other one? viewers. So there's more viewers. So maybe it's this one he was actually playing. But again, a lot of zeros and ones.
[31:28] >> If I'm being genuine, I I'm just trying to find a gimmick to get a single viewer cuz I've done it all. And this is [ __ ] hard. I'm going to go as far as to say it's a waste of time. Now, not streaming. I think the idea of streaming
[31:44] is a waste of time, but streaming every day to zero or >> two viewers if you have a phone available isn't the play. If I were to really do this starting from scratch, >> my entire stream would have been the hot
[31:56] dog segment. It would have been maybe 30 minutes to 45 minutes total tops. And then I would have made a few shorts of me showing how you can learn to eat a hot dog unless >> Oh my god, I nailed that. I couldn't
[32:11] >> Oh my god, I nailed that. I couldn't have nailed that any better. Oh my god. >> In 15 seconds, your first try and then post that [ __ ] on Tik Tok, IG has some something else ready for tomorrow.
[32:25] >> Jesus. >> Max an hour. I live a cushy life being able to go live. I literally have said that too. Don't stream four, eight, 10 hours when you're a small streamer. Two hours, three hours max. That's it.
[32:41] That's all you got to do. Get the clips from that. Post it online. Post it. Literally every single website you can. That's the important thing, right? I've seen on Twitter today people actually talking about Lewig's video
[32:56] before I even watched it for the first time, which is right now. Um, and saying, you know, Twitch is luck. Twitch has a a horrible uh algorithm for finding new streamers. No, Twitch isn't broken. The algorithm isn't broken.
[33:10] Everything's perfectly fine. It's just Twitch isn't built the way that you want it to, you know, show off your one viewer stream. It's impossible for Twitch to do that. There's not enough viewers. There's going to always have to
[33:26] be people at zeros and ones and under tens. That's just how platforms work. It's just like Twitter. There's always going to be Twitter channels or X channels uh or pages or whatever you want to call them that have zero
[33:40] they're posting every single day on X and so on so forth. Same thing on YouTube. There's millions of YouTube channels that make content all day, every day. We've seen people in my community do it on non-stop that
[33:53] literally have maybe 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 videos, but one, two, three, four, five viewers, right? You got to po you got to post outside of these different platforms to other platforms on shorts especially
[34:07] because it's like an easier form of content to consume. of thousands of people watching. And I gotta say, I've never been more appreciative for never been more appreciative for everyone who subscribes or has
[34:19] notifications on for the live streams, who tunes in for for 30 seconds, a minute, an hour, the whole stream. Bro, I appreciate you >> cuz without you, my job would be hell. This is, man. My job would be hell. I've
[34:35] been wanting to do an opening of these packs for a while. Not even on stream. I >> So, this is another great shorts clip segment that you can start breaking up right away. Opening each card, each pack, right? Uh revealing
[34:52] each card, your reactions to revealing each card. There's so much endless opening packs. I've been wanting to open them. >> Got to open my packs.
[35:04] um, One Piece. And so I just like looking at the art. I don't really know >> I got. Two Oshi packs. I got to like really open up and actually like, >> yeah, I better get on that. >> It's valuable, but I'm I'm just going to
[35:18] open them under the One Piece card game category, which currently has 27 viewers. And I'm hoping that maybe one person hops over and and just takes a
[35:30] look. Giant One Piece card opening exclamation point giveaway. Oh, that's clever. >> Okay. A little bit of the bait. >> Okay. A little bit of the bait. He's a master baiter, which is good.
[35:48] giveaway going on. There's no giveaway going on. We are opening the One Piece going on. We are opening the One Piece anime 25th year collection. I don't know if every box is guaranteed a super rare. I I would assume yeah, but I don't know
[36:04] >> Okay. >> Okay. Merry go and jewelry Bonnie. Oh, it's a super rare. Oh, hell yeah. So, there are at least two super rares. >> I know nothing about super rare. Damn,
[36:17] she's got bazookas. Oh, wait, wait. This is a big one. Okay, I was going to say the third most valuable card in this set is Vega Punk.
[36:29] It but it's >> 297. >> SP and it would say L. It's a leader card. So, this ain't the leader version. This is the super rare. The Vega punk I just pulled is seven bucks. Not bad
[36:43] >> Oh, wait, wait, wait. Hold up. >> More than he made in donations that day or or anything. [Music]
[36:55] Yeah, we got our monkey D Luffy leader card. Whoa, this one's awesome. So, how much is that worth? Wait,
[37:07] wait, wait, wait, wait. What? This can't be right. 17 cents. Why? >> Jesus. >> Why? It's the first leader card I pulled. It's worth 17 cents. Is this a VOD channel? No. No, it's not a VOD
[37:23] channel. on live and I pulled a card that I thought was worth [ __ ] hundreds of dollars and it's worth 17 cents. And >> now depending on that person cuz they saw Lwig,
[37:38] right? They thought it was a VOD channel and then clicked on it wondering if it was actually a VOD channel or actually Lwig. If it wasn't Lewig and Lewig's face or voice, would he have gotten that viewer?
[37:55] Would they have shown up? Maybe. Probably not, though. Again, if it was a if he did a did it as a entrylevel VTuber with an entrylevel
[38:08] VTuber model with even let's just say even his own voice. What if somebody clicked? >> I'm I'm confused. Bad player. HS. I fanatic. I don't know if you have inside information as to why that card was
[38:25] worth 17. Wait, I just got my first. >> So, 4 hours and 19 minutes is what, Tuck? And hey, Nixie. How you doing? >> Yes. Yes, man. [ __ ] dude. I actually got my
[38:41] first I think they left, but that's chill. I got my first [ __ ] chatter. I got my first chatter. How he talked to that first chatter was acknowledged them, and started talking to them right away. Unfortunately, they
[38:56] did leave right away by the looks of it, which is also very common. And they also followed. That's sick. It's the first real person to follow the channel. Oh my god. Nice. Getting ready for work.
[39:11] >> So long. You're still here. Oh, that's so awkward. I apologize. I normally the chat. I'm normally very chill about it. So, show me that good [ __ ] Aka that
[39:24] >> We'll talk about it after rare duplicate. Oh, what is this? Monkey Luffy. Whoa. Wait, >> Okay, so the last one was worth 17 cents. I'm willing to bet maybe two
[39:38] >> It's a secret rare. We actually got a secret rare. >> Okay, this has to be worth more than 17 cents. That's crazy. It was the next I got. Okay, this just lit leg legally has to be worth more than 17 cents. Maybe
[39:51] >> It's $12.2 bucks for lightly played. Last sold was 50 bucks. Hell yeah. Okay. Who is this Oscar guy? How do you know what? Oscar,
[40:04] where did you come from? Sorry. Wait, don't apologize. How'd you find the stream? I'm just a fan. How'd you find this stream, though? I thought you were AI. >> There we go. Saw Lwig. Thought Lwig was
[40:19] AI. There's the second chatter. >> Oh, Bad Player HS told him. Wait, how did you find the stream? Bad Player HS. >> I saw give away the title. I was like, yo, a giveaway. It worked. Okay, I'm
[40:34] going to tell you guys. I've been live for the past five. >> So debating viewers to come in it. Yeah, it does work. I've done it back in the Rainbow Six Siege days, but I also followed
[40:49] through with it. When I said I was doing a giveaway or whatever, I actually did it all the way through. It turns out this [ __ ] is not It turns out this [ __ ] is not >> but but again when you're in a sea of
[41:05] of of people having something catchy in your title especially the first few words giveaway is catchy enough for people to click is catchy enough for people to click >> [ __ ] easy at all. In fact, this [ __ ]
[41:20] is very difficult and nobody [ __ ] clicks streams with zero viewers or one viewer. I've been doing it for a couple of years. Lol. Oscar, we're going to get your peace. >> I mean, I'm I'm just glad I found you.
[41:35] I'm just glad I I I'm just glad, you know, I I I found the the L, you know, the the man himself. >> Okay. Okay. What do you do and why do you stream? Okay, that is really cool that he got on chat on video with the
[41:52] that he got on chat on video with the guy. So, I'm curious what his answer is. >> I mainly stream because I just >> for fun or just because it's something >> for fun or just because it's something like doing not to grow or
[42:07] it is. >> Just love gaming in general. I'm a competitive gamer. I play a lot of competitive games and um I found that doing it with people watching me is way more fun than doing it by myself. I've
[42:22] been having fun uh meeting new people, learning new things. Um I do reacts, I do uh just variety content in general. I'm just I I just love streaming and uh I hope to one day be an inspiration and uh you know uh be a very uh very good in
[42:46] 8910. I'm curious what happened. >> It's been said you should have money in your head.
[43:06] >> Did this video help propel Oscar? My answer is probably going to be yes.
[43:21] Yeah, I would say so. Gave definitely a boost at one point.
[43:35] Normally averages 40 32. That's pretty good. That's really good. And then he had a huge huge huge boost here and then gradual decline, but that's perfectly normal. But honestly, that's still pretty damn good.
[43:51] >> Entertainer, >> dude. Shout out to you, Oscar. Well, I appreciate you finding me cuz you've released me from my hell. But Oscar, this will be a video and people will know the story of Oscar. All right, man.
[44:07] the power of One Piece and [ __ ] awesome friendship. Uh, I am so happy right now. Have a good day. Over the moon, bro. >> This was truly an eyeopening experience. >> It is hard to stream to zero viewers.
[44:25] It's really >> I wanted to stop streaming so many times and the only thing that eventually worked was click baiting a fake giveaway worked was click baiting a fake giveaway to get one viewer. So, the real takeaway
[44:37] is it is [ __ ] hard to be a small streamer. And >> Whatever it takes to even have one person watching cuz the difference person watching cuz the difference between being a one viewer streamer and
[44:50] a zero viewer streamer is astronomical. >> Yeah, I kind of your family about your streams. Keep can. Make sure to give them the love, the attention they deserve because
[45:03] really that that's when you start being a streamer is when you got a little >> And shout out my boys Oscar and Bad Player 8s.
[45:17] I think he's pretty well right on and I think we agreed on almost all of it already right off the bat. So I've talked about it so many times on my I've talked about it so many times on my streams. starts uh with your friends.
[45:31] I would skip the family thing, but okay, you know, have fam, right? Lewis always tuned in, watch every single stream when I was first starting out on Twitch, right? Uh same thing with with uh Jesus man, all that fun stuff. So, having
[45:45] those that little initial bump really does help. does help. Find a game where you can have some Find a game where you can have some focus and stay busy,
[45:59] but you can still you can still talk about the game at length, aka talk talk about the game at length, aka talk about what you are doing in the game.
[46:20] something that keeps your mind busy, right? Um,
[46:37] right? The competition is just way too high. Uh just like Lug mentioned clips high. Uh just like Lug mentioned clips and posting the clips all over
[46:49] YouTube. People are sleeping heavily on Facebook and Instagram. People are super sleeping on these two. You get so many viewers, so many followers from posting on these
[47:04] different things. I've seen every almost every single big streamer post on these two. They're doing it for a reason. You guys should, too.
[47:16] This is very important, right? Even if you're talking to no one, even if you think you're boring. Grab clips, throw into an AI editing program, let the AI pick out the best ones, and just auto post it. if you
[47:28] ones, and just auto post it. if you don't know how to do editing something, but post something of your clips out there. Even if it's you dying, like honestly. Yeah. Um, and my biggest suggestion,
[47:44] pick one game. Uh, I've talked about this for years and years and years. Pick one game, stick with it, stick with it, build up from it slash with it.
[48:00] If you do art, basically just chatting too, unless you're an art educator. Uh yeah, but at the at at the same time yeah, but at the at at the same time too, it depends if
[48:14] personality drives with the people and depending on the art style, and depending on the art style, right? If you're drawing a lot of LWD right? If you're drawing a lot of LWD big boba stuff on your art stream,
[48:28] I would imagine that would attract some people. Um, people. Um, let me look up art,
[48:42] about it many many many many times in the past. Unfortunately, you know, sex the past. Unfortunately, you know, sex does sell. Um, and being very risque or having risque things on the screen can really
[48:57] help things here and there. Uh it's not everybody's forte obviously, but there is ways of getting around it. Now that being said, Starlight yourself now, you you are you do have a nice uh established audience where you can do
[49:12] art at at the same time too if you chose to, which is fantastic. Um picking one game, stick with it, build up with it. And honestly, small game,
[49:26] up with it. And honestly, small game, right? I did did it with Rainbow 6. I know somebody that's doing it right now with a gotacha game. Uh there's other people I've seen in the past do it with other FPS's like PUBG, so on and so
[49:40] forth. So, you know, there's there's a lot of things that you guys can do. Um but if you are going to do art, clips clips clips clips clips clips clips absolutely important, right? How small is too
[49:55] small? Uh, well, if we pull up Twitch again after Firefox decides to update. Hey, how you doing? Yeah, stream's going well. I'm I'm actually liking today. I like how it's not super busy today. It's quite nice, actually. Um, like I can
[50:11] actually process my thoughts, which is great. Uh, great. Uh, too small, chatting. Well, yeah,
[50:28] but again, it also depends on the person though, Starlight, because you and I have had this conversation a million times ourselves, right? If you're going to do something like art, you got to be talking all the time. There's a lot of
[50:40] people in the art channel that just don't say anything and just draw that are streaming to zero or one viewers. There's other people that do talk, but sometimes they don't have the most engaging topics to to talk to people
[50:55] engaging topics to to talk to people with, right? It all it really depends from person to person and their ability to communicate with their chat. It it to communicate with their chat. It it really does matter, but you've recently
[51:08] seeing the other side of things too. Yeah. Um I think too small is something like these way down here in the 150s. You might be
[51:20] able to do it, but like playing games like Tomb Raider, like sure, yeah, it could be fun, but unless you're making content on YouTube that's like 100% Tomb Raider content, you're not going to really get much growth. Um I would say,
[51:34] you know, start in something with a few thousands. Um, wow. Raid Shadow Legends is only 475 years. You'd think they'd be way higher but yeah, I would be in the few thousands right in this little
[51:50] zone. I'm surprised there's that many on Eve I'm surprised there's that many on Eve Online. I am shocked there's that many people watching. Um, but yeah, around this this zone, a thousand plus,
[52:03] probably a good idea. Definitely definitely a good idea. Anything lower, I wouldn't do it. But again, you have to have the ability But again, you have to have the ability to talk to your chat. And and honestly,
[52:19] having topics that your chat can relate to is is also really key, right?
[52:37] and put input in. Super important, right? So, if right? So, if you're talking about random anime that are just super obscure while you're doing art, for example,
[52:52] you're going to be struggling. You will be struggling. It's just not going to work. But if you're talking about big mainstream or maybe you're doing art of said anime or whatever,
[53:06] said anime or whatever, you're going to have an easier time. take out Louiswis's name there. Doesn't need to be there. Uh, and especially
[53:20] need to be there. Uh, and especially focusing on growth outside of Twitch, I think you'll do perfectly fine and have potential. the problem why vast is also the thing in the art community
[53:34] as well they don't post outside of Twitch they only stream on Twitch now I've talked to couple of you about that very thing where a lot of people were reluctant to post shorts clips and still are reluctant to posting shorts clips so
[53:50] on so forth even though they have a bigger audience um but a lot of people underestimate the growth growth potential from shorts and clips and stuff like that. If you're not willing to do this, then don't expect to have
[54:06] the higher viewership. It's just it has to happen. You have to do that. No matter what category you are in on Twitch, you could get popular in any in every category, but you have to post outside of Twitch. That's where the
[54:22] outside of Twitch. That's where the growth is. or or or or stream on YouTube chance for you to actually get popular and build an audience.
[54:35] There's that, too. But yeah, that's that.
[54:57] Also, today will not be a long stream day, so I will probably hop in Discord for probably an hour before work so I can just relax.
[55:13] next couple of minutes here, I'll head on off and just chill in the Discord for in general chat for probably an hour before work and then yeah, go to work.
[55:27] And I'm going to clip the hell out of this video and post it online
[55:44] through X
[55:57] saying that they have to be lucky to grow. Do you think music is important for a stream? Uh, depending on how you are. If you're if you're somebody that's playing a very quiet game
[56:10] uh or a game that doesn't have a lot of background sounds, music can help uh enhance the stream. Absolutely. I I think it can help. But if you're
[56:22] playing super loud rock music non-stop in the background where people can't hear you, uh it's a definitely a hindrance. It's absolutely a hindrance. But as long as you do the music right,
[56:35] it can absolutely be important and helpful, right? Dead air is probably the worst air to have. So having constant communication, constant sounds going can help keep people engaged a bit. Uh, also remember, you know, there's a lot of
[56:49] talking, they're not going to say anything. They're just going to listen to you talk, right? So if there's some dead air where you're not talking, they're more than likely not going to stick stick around. They want noise.
[57:04] That's why they're watching or slash listening to you. They want noise. A little bit of stunes in the background. It could be very helpful. But yeah, I'm going to call it there for
[57:16] the Discord in the general chat for, like I said, the next hour. So, if you guys want to chat, all that fun stuff, uh, I'll be there. Let's have a good stream and, uh, or good stream, good rest of the day. And, yeah, I'll catch
[57:30] you guys next week. We're going to do uh IRL streaming with a live 2D model. I cracked the code. I got it fixed. So, we'll be able code. I got it fixed. So, we'll be able to stream with V Studio IRL live, all
[57:45] that fun stuff. And I'm excited to actually like make it work properly. And yeah, I'm going to clip the hell out of this video. Anyway, see you guys in of this video. Anyway, see you guys in the next one. Bye everybody.
