--- title: 'How I Promoted My Twitch Channel from 0 Viewers (Bought VK Ads Hardcore)' source: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Rb2k4I7604' video_id: '7Rb2k4I7604' date: 2026-07-15 duration_sec: 498 --- # How I Promoted My Twitch Channel from 0 Viewers (Bought VK Ads Hardcore) > Source: [How I Promoted My Twitch Channel from 0 Viewers (Bought VK Ads Hardcore)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Rb2k4I7604) ## Summary The video recounts the creator's failed attempt to promote his Twitch channel via VKontakte ads, leading to a satirical experiment where he posed as a female streamer to bypass moderation. The ad was approved, but the campaign yielded no real audience growth, highlighting perceived platform bias. ### Key Points - **Channel rarity and chair joke** [00:02] — Videos are rare; the creator jokes about his chair and transitions to the topic of streaming. - **Struggle to grow on Twitch** [00:39] — The creator describes being stuck as a beginner streamer and needing a strategy to become established. - **Common growth methods** [01:06] — Streamers typically grow via YouTube promotion or networking with popular streamers; neither worked for him. - **Inspiration from VK ad** [01:33] — He saw an ad for 'beginner girls streamers' and decided to try VK advertising for his Twitch channel. - **VK ad tool and budget** [02:01] — VK has a tool to promote posts; he previously spent 500 rubles with no real growth, calling it 'cheating'. - **Ad rejection as male** [02:55] — His ad as a male streamer was rejected for 'content mismatch' with his community. - **Gender change experiment** [03:26] — He dressed as a woman with makeup, copied a female streamer's ad text, and resubmitted. - **Ad approved as female** [05:11] — The ad was approved under the female persona, showing platform inconsistency. - **Ad results** [06:14] — 30,000 views, 26 likes, 33 reposts, 11 comments, 465 group transitions; cost unknown. No Twitch growth. - **Conclusion on platform bias** [07:12] — The creator claims VK is sexist, oppressing men, and vows to fight for equal chances regardless of gender. ### Conclusion The experiment revealed that VKontakte's ad moderation approved a female persona ad after rejecting a male one, but the campaign failed to boost Twitch viewership. The creator uses this to argue for gender equality on the platform. ## Transcript videos on this channel are released extremely rarely, because, as you already understood, I am mostly an example, you could guess about this from my where the disgusting chair is not, but just look at this chair, it's the and today's video will be exactly on this topic, not about my chair, it sounds ambiguous, of course, about the topic of what I stream, and so now I will tell a sad story from my life. For on Twitch. I keep starting, I can’t start, and I think, damn, I need to do something about forever, and I thought about how I can move on to the next stage: how to become not a beginner streamer, but an already established streamer. As usual, a streamer gains an audience on Twitch. You either actively run a channel on YouTube, promote it and from there you transfer traffic to Twitch, or you are friends with popular streamers. Hoping that they'll throw you a rain and take a squad and all this, here on the hemp, on the channel, changing it didn't work on channel, changing it didn't work on YouTube, and I don't have any friends on Twitch, she's on Twitch, I'm only friends here, with whom, by the way, we run a TikTok together with four hundred thousand subscribers, but I'll talk about that some other time, that's not what I'm talking about now. I thought for a long time about what could be done, in principle, and the solution came by itself. I was scrolling through my VKontakte feed and came across an advertising post. 1 beginner girls streamers girls have power. Damn, I can also make a post like that on VKontakte, too, order advertising, especially since it's not particularly difficult on VKontakte. You just create a post and give money, as a rule, the budget can be anything. as a rule, the budget can be anything. They want 100 rubles, more depends on how much you're willing to invest. Last year, I wanted to advertise my Twitch channel on VKontakte. A tool appeared on VKontakte that allows you to literally give money in two clicks. VKontakte will launch it in the hemp news itself. VKontakte will launch it in the hemp news itself. had a budget of 500 rubles, you'll agree, a small amount, that's all, you invest and watch your views grow, cool, yeah, but it's not your views grow, cool, yeah, but it's not cheating, damn, think about it, both cheating and cheating, when I did it, but I wanted to put a post like this on advertising then, I wanted to, you know, I understand something, that supposedly a serious guy with serious intentions, a real unrecognized genius. I made a similar post, I wanted to do something in the style of covers of village singers singing in local cultural centers and it was rejected. But the funniest thing is that the reason why it was rejected is that the text or image of the advertisement does not match the content of the site or community to which it leads. I'm like, what the hell, what does it not match? And if my VKontakte group basically consists of streamer and YouTuber activities, well, besides there, and the cap of the soil is concerned about the injustice of this platform, I decided not to do it the good way, it will be the bad way, I decided to change my gender, the Moscow and my friend decided to put makeup on me for fun, but sometimes people have these kinds of pranks, and I, being a true gentleman, agreed to this adventure, and this is how things turned out, and I had the most brilliant idea to make exactly the same Kalashnikov from these photos with gravy of a girl and a streamer, completely copy the text of the advertising completely copy the text of the advertising you and try my luck again to become a beginner, or rather an already started popular streamer, or rather a streamer. popular streamer, or rather a streamer. I've copied these all the time. Am I kind? 143 thousand views for three likes. If it does n't work out normally, I'll take a more slippery path. Effects will introduce you well. I'll introduce you in the image so put together, but then maybe I'll do something like this on a stream. This was part of an experiment. This is what I had back then in Moscow when I was, well, you know, in Moscow, in Moscow, people sometimes change not for the better. Well, we'll see what comes of it. In any case, comes of it. In any case, if the post is harmful, it will be an interesting precedent because in your soul you, when I was Egor, I was rejected, and when I became Evgeny, when I became Evgeny, I made it public, updated the description, changed the avatar so that everyone understood what my intentions were. I'm completely serious and so I intentions were. I'm completely serious and so I sent the advertising post for moderation. Advertising relay. Thanks for the stream, brother. Yes, please. Well, when I check whether my pod was approved or not, it's I'm checking now. In short, I'll also show you. You'll be my wife. Beautiful skin . One T1 and 1400 pro I want everything already approved under a strange ad wait I almost didn't understand my husband liked someone my husband took the window how wait is everything progressing we'll check whether it was approved or not [music] section and approved [music] that's VKontakte website I'm still in shock from how absurd and ridiculous these situations are what are the results of advertising integration in the post I saw how many people there and saw that let's see so the post has 30,000 views views 26 likes I like someone not in the 26 likes I like someone not in the column in 33 and reposts 11 comments we'll talk about them later advertising rating of the post 8 4 out of 10 cool positive reaction high negative reaction also high negative reaction also high 217 hidden all posts 16 complaints 241 hiding 465 transitions to the group this advertising rubles it probably cost yes often people really thought I was a girl and I really thought I was just another guy messing up with girls. Did the advertising justify itself, yes or no, on the average online audience on Twitch, and it didn't even have any impact, there wasn't even any growth. But I don't care because this advertising campaign had a completely different goal: to stage a funny performance and to understand a very important problem with the VKontakte website. VKontakte has once again proven that this sexist platform is aimed at oppressing and persecuting men. A platform where everyone is equal, but someone is even more equal. I will continue to fight for men's rights, where everyone, regardless of their gender and independence from their gender, will have an absolutely equal chance of advancement. I want to stop being afraid advancement. I want to stop being afraid simply because I'm a man. I don't even know how to end this video, and the video is useless. King, it turned out that it was on my Twitch channel beautiful skin, will you?
