Why You Won't Become a Streamer (And Why You Shouldn't)

[00:02] video, you are probably familiar with this pseudo-profession. Nowadays, almost everyone Twitch platform has become a virtual monopoly, despite performing a fairly simple function. I won't talk about hard work, abnormal schedule and

[00:15] burnout. This is obvious, as is the fact that any path to success is quite thorny. subjective opinions about why this door is most likely closed for many of us , and also give advice to aspiring streamers solely from my

[00:30] observations and a combination of many opinions, which I naturally took into account. So tragedy of a fallen angel who tried to take a completely different path?

[00:51] is not a word, but a state of the environment. Let's say you're a basic player with a basic level of knowledge on how to level up your media. Naturally, you'll prepare and Google streaming tips. And then you'll hear complete nonsense about

[01:04] not stopping yourself from staring at the wall until the very end. The main thing is regularity and activity. Stream once a day for 10 hours to wait for those very viewers. Well, and further nonsense. The thing is, most streamers

[01:17] idol level suffer from survivorship bias. Judge for yourself why the same Sosovoz became so popular. Perhaps they had some pretty cool stirrups with the calm one, but now the calm one is gone. The only thing that makes people laugh about Sosovod is his

[01:30] age and seriousness. A certain strict dad who remains silent and then says an awkward phrase or curses. Sosovot is a good streamer. Although why is he good? But what I'm getting at is that he can make maybe a thousand people laugh. He

[01:44] maybe a thousand people laugh. He already has experience with this, but not 40, [ __ ] thousand or however many there are already, [ __ ]. And now our player sees how his now our player sees how his ideal streamer, Seis Sei, behaves. Here. And he

[01:56] tries to repeat it. He repeats it throughout the entire 10 hours of the stream. She tries to understand as little as possible how he would react, what he would say now. And then the horror begins. The player completely loses his individuality.

[02:11] turns into an attempt to create a copy of the streamer he is inspired by, realizing that such a personality and such a reaction are liked by everyone, which means they can be used again. And when a player, having streamed for 10 hours every day for the whole week

[02:25] , he turns into a burnt-out piece of paper. We live in an amazing time of digital technology, where we can find information right from home. And most importantly, you can find people who have made some mistakes in life and simply learn from

[02:40] who have been streaming for five years and have fifty online views, you can simply watch an interview with your favorite streamer, where they moments in life, and so on. But there are pitfalls here too. For example, the

[02:55] ideal streamer for our player might have started streaming very early. [music] he used are absolutely unnecessary. Currently, the player will have to interpret the acquired knowledge and think it through, understanding what potential viewers

[03:08] need and what they don’t. Overall, I think this blog was told quite clearly. From my point of view, Oleg Poly Twitch creates the illusion that everything is so close, that it's all just a couple of clicks away, and once you start a broadcast, you're already the same as

[03:21] your favorite streamers. But this is the very first and deepest misconception. the chance that a viewer will stumble upon you by chance and stay with you. It's about the same chance as finding a perfectly even clover leaf in a field. Not

[03:34] impossible to notice you in this noise without a monstrous amount of luck, an invested budget, or, I don’t know, a scandal. It's safe to say that this isn't a talent competition, but a lottery where you have to spend hundreds of hours of your

[03:49] life to buy tickets. And in my opinion, about 89% of the tickets are empty. A small depression in the the tickets are empty. A small depression in the bottom of this swamp.

[04:11] Why were you born like this? In terms of? [music] What makes you think I'm like this?

[04:35] carefully so that we could watch carefully. It just broke at that moment. Who doesn't happen? Well, damn, even an old woman can make happen? Well, damn, even an old woman can make mistakes. What to do now?

[04:48] and slowly got divorced, divided the property so that everything would be even and smooth. And that’s why I was afraid, and he was waiting to divide the property. Then it might be possible to kabyda.

[05:03] 10 years now, please give me some, and then we’ll talk more. I should be given a vacation soon and I have already agreed that one day we will go for a divorce. It feels like the whole world is about to collapse inside me and I am shaking with

[05:15] anger and complete peace. And they went for three stars and that's it. Understanding what, in my opinion, is the meaning of my life. [ __ ], uh, first of all, I just said [ __ ] . Secondly, what is the meaning of life

[05:32] . Secondly, what is the meaning of life ? [music] A . You need to love the work, not love the result. But luckily for us,

[05:46] as reasonable people, this rule does not apply to Twitch. The very concept of streaming was truly about introducing a new format of entertainment. You go onto the platform, and right now people are somehow entertaining you, unlike

[05:58] YouTube. All the videos on it were filmed weeks ago. You watch a video that has received so many views and likes. Everyone has simply already reacted to it. feel the vibe that we are now in the same room with the streamer. He is communicating with us

[06:11] right now, and we can react right now. This subsequently creates a cult around the streamer, putting him on the avatar, [ __ ], his stickers, wearing his merch and listening to his music.

[06:30] connection with the streamer. Like some kind of friend with whom you feel comfortable. But no one is bothered by the fact that there are thousands of people watching the stream. And you write in the chat to, think about it, people watching the stream. And you write in the chat to, think about it, [music] tens of tens of thousands of people

[06:42] some kind of reaction. It's like throwing a paper airplane into space. But what am I getting at? What I'm getting at is that the best times for streamers are career. Just understand that it's much better to sit in a room of 50 people and

[06:56] going to go fast. You recognize almost every nickname, and these people are truly devoted to leaving your personality the same as it was at the very beginning is, well, probably

[07:08] impossible. I would even compare it to drug addiction. A huge audience, everyone is thirsty for your opinion, your reaction, and you become a mother to a far from loyal audience, and, let's be honest, not much of an adult. The block is about how

[07:22] a person can completely change, and this will definitely be a form of catharsis. Got out. The player climbs to a great height, but at this height the wind is the strongest. Both principles and the

[07:35] head as a whole fly away. More banal, of course, is selection, but, unfortunately, there is no selection, selection, but, unfortunately, there is no selection, only a very late understanding.

[07:49] insignificance on Twitch will understand that they need to try to attract an audience from that they need to try to attract an audience from other platforms. [ __ ], I hate you, [ __ ]. Well, put a link to your

[08:01] Twitch in your nickname. This looks so cool. Especially put a more selfish anime avatar so that I can take a screenshot and laugh at you with my friends. Insert a barely-squeezed, almost funny moment into TikTok with a link to Twitch. And such

[08:14] people are directly driven by this desire for freebies. And you know, it even had a chilling effect. That's exactly it with him. The guy just screams and says: "Nonsense!" And well, yes, that's all. using his

[08:26] interview as an example. He was nothing special to begin with and feels pressure simply because interesting questions about his uninteresting life. And yes, we have to admit that media is a veelan, the complexity of which

[08:38] At the very beginning you will face such a mess. You also need to learn to understand what is considered quality self-promotion and what is disgraceful. Discuss how to sell me a pen. Then you will understand the formula for successful advertising of

[08:53] your Twitch. We, as players, have been ingrained with a sense of addiction, or rather, scientifically speaking, tolerance, which causes us to lose the meaning of many things that once held great significance for us. The most default example. If you drink

[09:07] energy drinks every day, they won’t give you energy after just the second week. unfortunately, inevitably affects the future streamer player. Getting your first ad unimaginable proportions, which makes you want to

[09:21] work hard on your media and create content. But we all know very well the name of these, you know, tinted windows without signs. Casino. Kazik is a kind of ring of omnipotence. Money in casinos is like a religion.

[09:34] It is impossible to comprehend their scale and grandeur. Well, considering that the player grandeur. Well, considering that the player was charging 15,000 for advertising a million a month, well, I think that's enough for him. Well, a couple of months will pass , and now the player has an income of 5

[09:47] million, and now he will earn a million a month. This is a kind of economy, a kind of bottom to which it is impossible to descend, and so on. First, a person earns $5,000 from one video on YouTube, then has banners on Twitch and an

[10:00] unimaginable number of donations. It's actually a very scary thing. The player is [ __ ] nuts, to put it simply . So it's worth constantly being aware that unnecessary actions and a small mistake can lead to it simply

[10:13] ending. It's worth looking at the initial goals, understanding, and even fearing that the player's head will be twisted. And from the viewer's side, one must accept the advertising of casinos and bookmakers as a matter of course. Don't fall for advertising, but understand that

[10:25] you are a participant in some kind of business. But you won't make a profit. Moral: uh, go [ __ ] yourself. It's much more productive to use the streaming format as one of the tools, rather than as the sole goal. For example, for feedback from a small

[10:38] community, testing ideas, or just information, or just informal communication with your audience. Without illusions about millions and fame, this can bring genuine joy. But if you think about it, this is precisely why most people

[10:51] stream. In fact, now is more like the last year and even the last opportunity to understand what this video is about. RKN continues to block numerous websites without offering alternatives, so Twitch is facing anarchy. Although, damn,

[11:04] it has already begun, just like it already began with the new tax laws. And oh my God, I'm cutting a couple of million rubles off the earnings of modern streamers. The cracked face started leaking, and now it looks, well, damn, terribly funny. I do

[11:18] n't recommend becoming like that. Get down to business. For example, celebrate the business. For example, celebrate the New Year well. [music]
