Streaming to nobody is one of the loneliest things I've ever experienced. You just want to end the stream because no one cares, but you know if you stop, no one will ever care. It's a tough feeling, and this video did such a beautiful job of portraying it. Props to you man, you just earned a sub
This hits hard, too darn relatable for me back in the day even when mixer was still around 😅 I think this is why it’s important to post consistently on other social media platforms like RUclips/TikTok promoting your streams where content can live forever rather than hoping someone will scroll down for 40 min to your stream if it happens to be a popular game. You actually can get more viewers/followers streaming A LOT less if you’re constantly making clips/content catered towards your streams. The only time it makes sense to stream 8 hours a day plus is if your already partnered or your getting a ton of traction.
Yeah it's way easier to get views on a 15 - 20 minute video than on a twitch stream. Most people aren't going into random peoples streams they're just watching someone they saw a video on youtube of that got recommend to them
I've been streaming for 3 years and this video actually shows how lonely it can be but I did progress and made a small community. For everyone who just stared streaming do not give up, you can do it and it is poseable to grow, it just takes time.
@@Gohgoin my opinion it’s really hard to start on platforms like Twitch. Many big name people come from different media. Some people get popular for being really good at video games while other people manage to get lucky. Luck however is nothing if you can’t keep viewers entertained and engaged. Route I’ve seen some people take is to become popular on RUclips or TikTok to increase your potential audience while also advertising your streams. That’s what I think, I may be wrong but this is what I have gathered. Also of course you can appeal to the algorithm for the platforms you produce content on.
For the streamers, who actually feel like me: Don't give up bro. If you have 0 viewers, you can be the best streamer in the world, it's just a matter of how much attention you get bro. Don't give up please.
WHEN YOU STREAM STOP SITTING THERE FOR 30 MINS WITHOUT GAMEPLAY AFTER EACH GAME DURING A 2 HOUR STREAM! I WATCH VODS TO SEE IF YOU EVEN PLAY OR JUST SIT AMD STAIR AT CAM AMD GO TO BATHROOM EVERY 5 MINS. NO GAMEPLAY NO FOLLOW. DONT HAVE TO BE PRO MLG SNIPER GOD
Been streaming for 7 years on twitch and one night my ceiling fell on me and all of the sudden my viewer count went from 0 to 300 and my followers went from 60 to 335. The excitement was almost crippling, but now I stream to a few people who follow me for my content and honestly that feels amazing. You never know when you will get your break, all you can do is keep trying! Stay consistent friends WE got this
FAm the days i had 1-3 viewers on my streams were so fun. enjoy the process and enjoy the journey. i streamed everyday for 2-3 hours when i got off a full time job working 6 days a week to 1-5 people. I did it cause its fun not for viewers brother. its all about intention whatever youre chasing is whatevers running away from you! Lol i did this for 10 years you gotta have fun with it
5:29 when that “1” pops up, gotta be the scariest and rewarding feeling in the world. Somebody is looking at the stream. Even if it’s for a few seconds.
Honestly when it's only 1 person, it's so much more stressful than when there's a few watching. You have 1 person watching, you have no idea what they're like, and if they're not chatting, it's really hard to engage them, but you get this nervous urge to do whatever possible to entertain them, and when it drops back down to 0, it's SOOOOOO SAD!
This video really hit me bro. The production of this is insanely good. I remember when I was young I always wanted to stream, so I started. I only averaged 0-2 viewers on a 2 hour stream, which really made me sad. If anyone sees this message, do not give up on what you like doing, you will make it big someday, whatever it is. :)

I was there too. It went from 0-2 viewers to 5-10 viewers on average. It’s a small increase, but still. All I did was be consistent and entertaining! We can do it!
This is one of my favorite videos on the entire platform. As a small streamer myself, who often has no viewers at all, it hurts to just talk into the void. To know that your words are just echoing into the darkness, with no one to hear them. Its degrading, painfull. But this video has given me the motivation to keep going, to try to stream and create a community no mater how long it takes. Because its worth it. Thank you, really.
I can always appreciate something that has passion behind it and something that expresses something that everyone goes through just the realness of life and something not working out as anticipated. Thanks for creating this, I will sure remember !!

There are few things as soul crushing as streaming to zero viewers. Knowing there are other people with worse streams that have viewers. “What is it about me that is so boring, so unwanted, so bad, so unlikable? I must be ugly, I must be too negative, I must be too boring, too restricted & controlled” It looks like this video is your big break though so congratulations!!!
I checked out your RUclips channel I have to say it's a great channel. Only feedback I have is to be a bit more confident when talking in the camera I feel like your holding back a little. the reason why no one is watching is because you have to up your marketing and networking game. When you don't have a team working for you in the background, you have to be your biggest promoter. I'm talking using everything word of mouth, all social media platforms, business cards, QR stickers, Collabs w/ people on your level or a bit higher etc. Get your name out there how ever you can, keep making great content and they won't be able to ignore you. I hope this helped I love when the underdogs win.
Thank you SlysxgeBeats! I streamed from 2016 to 2024 with 0 to 1 viewer for the vast majority of it. I finally quit Twitch streaming. The feeling of invisibility was too much for me. There's a lot I want to say about the streaming & everything I actually tried behind the scenes on discord, reddit, tiktok, youtube, and instagram but it's in the past now. Thank you for your advice & I'm so glad you said it because I'm going to take your advice and improve in other areas. I'm so tired of being timid when talking to the camera...I just wanna dance, be loud, a little obnoxious even hahaha! I love when the underdog wins too. Let's both succeed at what we want to accomplish.
@@Emmprove That’s the nature of the beast when being a creative. Sometimes your art isn’t supported enough to sustain it. Doesn’t mean it’s not good, the starving art Is real and no one’s talking about it. With all this social media highlights it’s hard to believe anyone is starving. Keep being you and enjoy your art even if no one ever sees it, that’s what makes you, you :) it’s your piece of legacy in this world. You’re a winner, stay positive stay humble stay bless Emma 🫶🏽

I don't normally comment on RUclips videos, but just wanted to let you know this was a well produced emotional video for someone who likely doesn't have a ton of resources for production. Looking forward to see what videos, if any, come next.
What a great mini doc. I have never been brave enough to stream on Twitch but the beginning somehow feels so relatable. I guess the sense of loneliness is universal. ... and the music choice is just *chef's kiss*.
Bro 7 years for 3 viewers is the universe talking to you that it's time to move on into something else. Guess streaming is not for everyone. Pick a new path.
this reminded me of some of the scenes in better call saul. Loved that show, amazing cinematography. if you haven't watched it, hope you find time to see it one day. Looking forward to see where you bring this channel. I think people relate a lot to todays internet culture and the loneliness through technology nowadays
I get this to like a crazy level.. this video has given me a lot of inspiration, and after thinking giving up my twitch and RUclips account it made me think. I love how you showed the genuine struggles of content creators in the making/ making things and I really appreciate you showing the problems and struggles of this area of content creation.
This is also the same for me I stream on TikTok every single day I have 213K followers and still don’t even get 10 people in my lives and it’s just so demotivating to be happy and do well honestly I put so much hard work into my videos, reading chat, playing with viewers just so I can keep people in my stream and show them who I really am and it never succeeds but even till this day I’m still streaming and trying my best 💜
I’m not going to lie man. I started tearing up at the end. Well done! Amazing camera work and editing. You are a filmmaker sir. Wish you all the success in the world at whatever you do.
This hits soooo hard, especially now with all the big youtubers stepping down and retiring, back then only a few people were doing youtube but theres so much saturation on here now it feels impossible for anyone to ever get as big as that, i can imagine streaming too, youtube can be the easiest job practically but its soooo mentally demanding with the self isolation and loneliness of constantly grinding, as a small channel myself, incredible video
This actually made me cry a little. I’m not a streamer, but I do make content on instagram and TikTok and ik how it feels to have 0 engagement even after putting in so much time and effort into your craft. It’s crazy how there’s so many talented, creative and entertaining ppl out there but they never make it big…
As a new streamer who started nearly a year ago on Twitch, there’s a lot I can relate too in this video. The way you’re trying to think of things to say but it feels like it’s pointless at times when there’s no one watching. Being funny and silly on stream to realise that there’s no one here, but you do it in hopes that someone stops by at that specific time. Long periods of not talking as it’s difficult to keep talking, essentially to yourself in some cases. And the way you get up after the stream ends, shutting off all your lighting and feeling very un-motivated when you look back at your setup. For me, I do it for fun & knowing that I have a small community of people who enjoy my content and me as a person, as well as some of the most meaningful compliments I never would’ve gotten normally, means the world to me; it keeps me going I think this video really encapsulates this experience and I related to a lot of it. Keep going. Enjoy the process. And most importantly, have fun and do your best. That’s all you can do ❤️
Love this. Very relatable. Starting out on RUclips recently, it can be demoralising when nobody watches any of your content, so this spoke to me. Subbed.
You did a really good job here, the fact, you can’t tell whether this was a real story or fiction I think, proves that you are a good storyteller and you’re telling more relatable stories to this generation by doing this! Keep it up! 👍
ay bro if your worried about not having fans you got one right here. this whole video is so relatable and if you keep at this it will work eventually you just need a gimmick when streaming and with youtube especially just be the most entertaining version of yourself dont let this stage get the worst of you its where you figure everything out and enjoy it
THIS! Man... This is the everyday struggle of most streamers out there and the truth is, it doesn't have to be like this. IT ISN'T LUCK or WAITING YOUR TURN. It doesn't have to be like this. there's an audience for everyone big or small as it may be, it doesn't have to be 0. In anycase, GREAT storytelling here Tayen Lee. You captured the emotion well in this short film and inspired me to help make sure new streamers don't experience this dreadful feeling 🙏🏾
Being a streamer definitely isn’t an easy process. Especially now days. I hope you come back to it and try again when you are ready ofc. You got this !
I use to stream with 3 viewers back in my days. I ended up getting an average of of 250 views after 2-3 years. It's not easy. You have to commit so much to get what you want. I was happy that I did it here on RUclips then other platforms it's because most of my videos stuck around to see growth.
Absolutely loved the video dude. Choreography, quality and heart strings were being pulled. Def deserve the 7k views and more. Only thing I wished for was a redemption from the streamer to continue streaming after the donation, watching that flame re-ignite in himself. Would have been sick, but regardless awesome video, it was a well spent 6 minute watch you deserve more than 295 subs
The small laughs at the end are so contagious. I’m going through the same thing as a small RUclipsr. Sometimes I have a few hundred views and other times I barely hit 70. I remember posting and not getting a single view and now I’m at 700+ subscribers. You just have to keep going
ive been streaming alone for months. everyone who has shown up has left quickly. i suspect its because im young but im putting alot of effort into these streams and im just hoping that one day i can do this
As someone from NC, also streams on twitch to 0 followers, and loves both UNC and STATE, I've never seen something more relatable. Maybe we can watch each other's streams!
whoa, this vid unexpectedly had some amazing shots and editing. The transition from the 0 on the overlay to text at the beginning was really cool and the different angles during the kitchen scene was sick.
I feel you mate. I've been making videos for 2 odd years now? Most of them are private now. And the ones that aren't, aren't exactly the best, pulled low views. But I'm happy with them. It's a damn painful thing to look and see the things your passionate about don't get the recognition you hope. It drives you insane, all we can hope is that small community will stick around, that they will keep coming back for some odd reason. Just gotta have hope. Even when it gets especially difficult. Also that ending through me for a loop, stellar video you have right here
Damn I relate to this so much. My peak viewers was 8. I typically get 2 to 3, but basically it's just me. I have been trying so hard to fill my youtube page and reddit with content to get viewership up. I just keep trying and hope maybe one day it will change.
man just wait and it will happen, i used to stream, used to get like 4 concurrent viewers usally, but then one day it just jumped to 30 and then i just sat there happily streaming to 30 people
This really hit home for me, I streamed for two years straight, always sat at 0 viewers. Seeing other channels grow so fast and me not making progress in the whole two years I streamed just demotivated me so much, never even knew my last stream would be the last one. I just decided I preferred playing games alone than sharing it with an audience that didn't exist. I'm glad for all the people who we're able to make it out of this, though. it really is a sucky phase and I respect the people that pulled through and kept streaming, I just couldn't do it after so long.
Seeing the bloopers at the was great hahaha The slow ZOOM into the 0 views with the most non engaging commentary during a game really said it all I've been streaming for now 5 years, but the first 4 years was really really on and off, with jobs changing, so time zones changed or extremely long breaks in between trying to figure things out. I feel for anyone who struggles with low view count. The one thing I would tell myself back then is, slow down on streaming, find like minded communities to engage with, always try to think outside the box, be okay with being a little uncomfortable and remember there is more to content creating than just streaming on twitch. Find your unique advantages that will make you stand out more than the next person, not in a way of you are better than the next person but the more you want to search for what you are good at or what makes you unique, the closer you will get to becoming the content creator you WANT to be. Edit: Great video I really enjoyed the song you chose that really set the mood for how it feels getting off & feeling that confusion & frustration of, "What am I doing wrong?" when of course it should be, "What can I do differently?" excited to see other videos like this!
I’ve been streaming on RUclips for just over a year, and I’ve managed to build a small community. The important this is to not give up. Well all get there one day. I would not have gotten my 6-10 average viewers without a little grind
Sometimes I would want to cry myself to sleep from stuff like this, knowing that nobody is watching, streaming to an empty audience, a theater with no seats. It may take a while, or it might be quick to get attention. You won't ever know, until you start.
One thing I've learned is that friends and family do not support your dreams. They only want to be a part of it after you make it. Strangers will be your biggest supporter.
Looking forward to future videos! Your transitions are TOP of the notch! They are creative, unique, and different than everyone else. I can see how much time you spent on this video. It is both impressive because of the damn good quality of this video, and how much attention it got. Though I have to say I'm not surprised by this, it deserves views to no end! Keep up the good work!
Beautifully made man. I fell victim to the Mixer trap, but had an average of 80 viewers on there at one point. Built a solid community and even had some merch sells. I loved it so much man, but then when I swapped over to twitch, the following didn’t transfer. I tried for a while, but it never picked back up to the height that it once was. I think about going back to content creation often, but with such a saturated space and real life obligations, it’s just not worth it for me. Hope the success of this video can get you somewhere in the creator space!
I can relate to this so hard, I've been streaming regularly for 5 years on twitch, and if I try new games outside of what I normally stream I get 0 interaction, it really makes it challenging sometimes when all you want is someone to chat with, and you feel burned out with the normal games. I know one thing tho, even though I've streamed to 0 people more times then I can count, the moments where things happen just makes it all worth it, and the reason I haven't stopped is due to the people I've had fun meeting over the years. and it's due to that which is why I don't intend to stop my streaming career anytime soon. Keep up the streams and never give up, enjoy streams the way you want too, do what makes you happy
This is so relatable. 90% of my streams is just me talking to myself. But I’ve gotten used to talking to myself so when someone joins I can be engaging.
this video got recommended to me on my feed and you will definitely become a big creator i recently just started with a fresh start with streaming and videos and it really sucks to have low viewers but putting the time and ethic will always eventually work out. Never give up and i'm saying this to everyone who reads this comment as well.
Great video this was very creative and it inspired me to start my own RUclips channel! You have a great future ahead of you. Again great job. unsubscribed.
This is the reason why I like to stream on tiktok. I don't have many followers but I usually get like 300 viewers within 5 minutes of the stream. I don't get paid at all but at least I can actually have conversations with people in the chat because the algorithm there is better even for new streamers.
This video is very relatable especially that Im going through it right now, 😅I've been streaming for about two years now and it was a great journey I do not regret it but how things are right now Im going to have to drop it eventually 😕
bro i felt this video. Im gonna start streaming soon for the first time ever and I know I'm definitely gonna be streaming to no one in the beginning. It'll be hard but I know it'll just take time.
You really put a lot of work into this and you're very skilled at video creating. Your twitch should be pretty big after this vid but I don't see a link. Either way I believe you should continue with youtube. Great things will come bro! And yeah, it's unfortunate MRBEAST didn't show up for your last stream lol but imagine if it actually happened haha.
I streamed consistently for 3 months and then I decided to stop. I think the main things that gets people views, even if its just 5-10 per stream, is hard work, endurance, personality, and most of all, friendships. Streaming while playing with friends is a great way to not feel lonely even if you're not getting any views. But I realized that soon my life would get just too busy to keep up the streaming endurance, and hard work. I have no personality, and little to no online friends. It took me a little big to get out of the hole that I dug, but I was right when I stopped, my life did get busy. I have no time to stream anymore, no energy, I have a couple friends but I just let them do their own thing when they're streaming their games or just playing games for fun. Streaming for 3 months was alright, but it was time for me to let that ship sail and cross a different bridge in my life. If you really want to stream, then keep at it. People will watch eventually, it just takes time.
completely understand this , you can’t force yourself to go live after a while you lose that passion , but don’t ever give up bro you never know when it’s your turn seriously
I feel bad for the people who are kind and put so much effort into the things they love and enjoy and dont get anything they deserve but never back down, never give up (idk just saw nick eh 30 on my recommendations lol)
Hey i can relate to all of this I remember streaming to 0 people for 3 years. this video was SO WELL PERDUCED I watched 4 times over the course of 4 days id you see this just know to never give up. You earned a sub!
I hope you blowup. You’re so sweet and I’m right there with you. Most of the time I don’t have anyone watching my streams as I’ve just started. Good luck gamer. I hope to see you on twitch sometime soon:)
Thing about places like Twitch is that for new people it's extremely hard to stand out from behind already well established figures. You have to get really creative in what to do, cause if you try to do what many people already do, you wont get far. Try to be different, try out new things/games. Because if you hop on trends, don't matter how quick you are to do so, bigger streamers will always hog the spotlight.
To be Honest, Twitch has the worst algorithm, thats why you shouldnt start on it, start on RUclips, it usally exposes smaller creators more than Twitch does

This is one of my favorite videos on the entire platform. As a small streamer myself, who often has no viewers at all, it hurts to just talk into the void. To know that your words are just echoing into the darkness, with no one to hear them. Its degrading, painfull. But this video has given me the motivation to keep going, to try to stream and create a community no mater how long it takes. Because its worth it. Thank you, really.
I can always appreciate something that has passion behind it and something that expresses something that everyone goes through just the realness of life and something not working out as anticipated. Thanks for creating this, I will sure remember !!
Thank you! I appreciate your appreciation

There are few things as soul crushing as streaming to zero viewers. Knowing there are other people with worse streams that have viewers. “What is it about me that is so boring, so unwanted, so bad, so unlikable? I must be ugly, I must be too negative, I must be too boring, too restricted & controlled”
It looks like this video is your big break though so congratulations!!!
I checked out your RUclips channel I have to say it's a great channel. Only feedback I have is to be a bit more confident when talking in the camera I feel like your holding back a little. the reason why no one is watching is because you have to up your marketing and networking game. When you don't have a team working for you in the background, you have to be your biggest promoter. I'm talking using everything word of mouth, all social media platforms, business cards, QR stickers, Collabs w/ people on your level or a bit higher etc. Get your name out there how ever you can, keep making great content and they won't be able to ignore you. I hope this helped I love when the underdogs win.
Thank you SlysxgeBeats! I streamed from 2016 to 2024 with 0 to 1 viewer for the vast majority of it. I finally quit Twitch streaming. The feeling of invisibility was too much for me. There's a lot I want to say about the streaming & everything I actually tried behind the scenes on discord, reddit, tiktok, youtube, and instagram but it's in the past now. Thank you for your advice & I'm so glad you said it because I'm going to take your advice and improve in other areas. I'm so tired of being timid when talking to the camera...I just wanna dance, be loud, a little obnoxious even hahaha! I love when the underdog wins too. Let's both succeed at what we want to accomplish.
@@Emmprove That’s the nature of the beast when being a creative. Sometimes your art isn’t supported enough to sustain it. Doesn’t mean it’s not good, the starving art Is real and no one’s talking about it. With all this social media highlights it’s hard to believe anyone is starving. Keep being you and enjoy your art even if no one ever sees it, that’s what makes you, you :) it’s your piece of legacy in this world. You’re a winner, stay positive stay humble stay bless Emma 🫶🏽
If you're gonna stream, edit the clips/highlights to RUclips, show us your interest, what you enjoy, what you like, want us to want to watch you, and most importantly have fun with what you do, learn how to video edit, show us your journey if you want, throw yourself out there and most importantly just keep swimming, but just make sure it doesn't get in the way from real life if that's a reality you have to face, the internet is always there

do yk his twitch?
The follow sound made me cry 😭 I was too emotionally attached to this whole story. My brain broke when it was revealed. Oh my heart
I don't normally comment on RUclips videos, but just wanted to let you know this was a well produced emotional video for someone who likely doesn't have a ton of resources for production. Looking forward to see what videos, if any, come next.
That is a beautiful comment, and completely correct. It was a stunningly made video
What a great mini doc. I have never been brave enough to stream on Twitch but the beginning somehow feels so relatable. I guess the sense of loneliness is universal. ... and the music choice is just *chef's kiss*.
I really hope this gets a lot of traction, its well made and was very enjoyable.
Every artist of any discipline goes through this, but man did you capture it perfectly
This is one of the most underrated videos I’ve seen the production on this was great. Keep it up man 👍
My god this just felt so raw and sincere. You really know how to hit me in the feels. Great job
Been streaming for 7 years to only 3 viewers, so I feel this. But you can never give up on your dreams.
you have 3 loyal mans for real.
@@Neutral_1zed I'm happy they're here honestly, I know there is someone who regularly enjoys what I do
What is your Twitch channel, I am more than happy to throw you a sub. Keep up the good work and good luck to you
@@Neutral_1zed Nope They just got there by accident.
Bro 7 years for 3 viewers is the universe talking to you that it's time to move on into something else. Guess streaming is not for everyone. Pick a new path.
That intro is fire. Instantly bookmarked into my brain for future inspo. Well done king
this reminded me of some of the scenes in better call saul. Loved that show, amazing cinematography. if you haven't watched it, hope you find time to see it one day.
Looking forward to see where you bring this channel. I think people relate a lot to todays internet culture and the loneliness through technology nowadays
Keep at it man! Took me about 4 years to get to where I am and I still have a long way to go. You totally got this.
I get this to like a crazy level.. this video has given me a lot of inspiration, and after thinking giving up my twitch and RUclips account it made me think. I love how you showed the genuine struggles of content creators in the making/ making things and I really appreciate you showing the problems and struggles of this area of content creation.
This is also the same for me I stream on TikTok every single day I have 213K followers and still don’t even get 10 people in my lives and it’s just so demotivating to be happy and do well honestly I put so much hard work into my videos, reading chat, playing with viewers just so I can keep people in my stream and show them who I really am and it never succeeds but even till this day I’m still streaming and trying my best 💜
I’m not going to lie man. I started tearing up at the end. Well done! Amazing camera work and editing. You are a filmmaker sir. Wish you all the success in the world at whatever you do.
This hits soooo hard, especially now with all the big youtubers stepping down and retiring, back then only a few people were doing youtube but theres so much saturation on here now it feels impossible for anyone to ever get as big as that, i can imagine streaming too, youtube can be the easiest job practically but its soooo mentally demanding with the self isolation and loneliness of constantly grinding, as a small channel myself, incredible video
This actually made me cry a little. I’m not a streamer, but I do make content on instagram and TikTok and ik how it feels to have 0 engagement even after putting in so much time and effort into your craft. It’s crazy how there’s so many talented, creative and entertaining ppl out there but they never make it big…
As a new streamer who started nearly a year ago on Twitch, there’s a lot I can relate too in this video.
The way you’re trying to think of things to say but it feels like it’s pointless at times when there’s no one watching. Being funny and silly on stream to realise that there’s no one here, but you do it in hopes that someone stops by at that specific time. Long periods of not talking as it’s difficult to keep talking, essentially to yourself in some cases. And the way you get up after the stream ends, shutting off all your lighting and feeling very un-motivated when you look back at your setup.
For me, I do it for fun & knowing that I have a small community of people who enjoy my content and me as a person, as well as some of the most meaningful compliments I never would’ve gotten normally, means the world to me; it keeps me going
I think this video really encapsulates this experience and I related to a lot of it.
Keep going. Enjoy the process. And most importantly, have fun and do your best. That’s all you can do ❤️
calling it now this guys finna blow up within the next year
Love this. Very relatable. Starting out on RUclips recently, it can be demoralising when nobody watches any of your content, so this spoke to me. Subbed.
You did a really good job here, the fact, you can’t tell whether this was a real story or fiction I think, proves that you are a good storyteller and you’re telling more relatable stories to this generation by doing this! Keep it up! 👍
My biggest fear as a creator. the struggle of seeing that the thing you feel happiest doing and most proud of fails
ay bro if your worried about not having fans you got one right here. this whole video is so relatable and if you keep at this it will work eventually you just need a gimmick when streaming and with youtube especially just be the most entertaining version of yourself dont let this stage get the worst of you its where you figure everything out and enjoy it
THIS! Man... This is the everyday struggle of most streamers out there and the truth is, it doesn't have to be like this. IT ISN'T LUCK or WAITING YOUR TURN. It doesn't have to be like this. there's an audience for everyone big or small as it may be, it doesn't have to be 0. In anycase, GREAT storytelling here Tayen Lee. You captured the emotion well in this short film and inspired me to help make sure new streamers don't experience this dreadful feeling 🙏🏾
Great short film - so glad I just found this channel. All hail Mr. Beast.
Being a streamer definitely isn’t an easy process. Especially now days. I hope you come back to it and try again when you are ready ofc. You got this !
Damn I genuinely felt this video, what a great video for someone with only 1.54k subs.
edit: wow the ending was crazy
u rlly jus wanted for ppl to think ur an og to the channel or smt bro no one cares u were here when he had "1.54k subs"
this made me giggle so much
@@mljmlkhhkj
@@mljmlkhhkjthe projection is real
@@corasundae nah bc i used to do this so I can tell when other ppl do it so yea u kinda right
I use to stream with 3 viewers back in my days. I ended up getting an average of of 250 views after 2-3 years. It's not easy. You have to commit so much to get what you want. I was happy that I did it here on RUclips then other platforms it's because most of my videos stuck around to see growth.
Absolutely loved the video dude. Choreography, quality and heart strings were being pulled. Def deserve the 7k views and more. Only thing I wished for was a redemption from the streamer to continue streaming after the donation, watching that flame re-ignite in himself. Would have been sick, but regardless awesome video, it was a well spent 6 minute watch you deserve more than 295 subs
The small laughs at the end are so contagious. I’m going through the same thing as a small RUclipsr. Sometimes I have a few hundred views and other times I barely hit 70. I remember posting and not getting a single view and now I’m at 700+ subscribers. You just have to keep going
This video hit hard. So many people try streaming and it doesnt work out.
ive been streaming alone for months. everyone who has shown up has left quickly. i suspect its because im young but im putting alot of effort into these streams and im just hoping that one day i can do this
Damn 5 years streaming here and still 1 viewer.. I still believe in miracle and hardwork., Never stop learning my dude.
send me the link to your channel and i'll watch you
As someone from NC, also streams on twitch to 0 followers, and loves both UNC and STATE, I've never seen something more relatable. Maybe we can watch each other's streams!
this video so well done and I really feel you its so hard to build a community but eventually your time and effort will pay off I promise you
whoa, this vid unexpectedly had some amazing shots and editing. The transition from the 0 on the overlay to text at the beginning was really cool and the different angles during the kitchen scene was sick.
I feel you mate. I've been making videos for 2 odd years now? Most of them are private now. And the ones that aren't, aren't exactly the best, pulled low views. But I'm happy with them. It's a damn painful thing to look and see the things your passionate about don't get the recognition you hope. It drives you insane, all we can hope is that small community will stick around, that they will keep coming back for some odd reason. Just gotta have hope. Even when it gets especially difficult.
Also that ending through me for a loop, stellar video you have right here
Damn I relate to this so much. My peak viewers was 8. I typically get 2 to 3, but basically it's just me. I have been trying so hard to fill my youtube page and reddit with content to get viewership up. I just keep trying and hope maybe one day it will change.
I made a video because of this video. I went and found a streamer with 0 viewers and donated to him to make his day. Thanks for posting this. ❤
Just started streaming, and I have a lot of fun but can already see how lonely the struggle is to stream to 0 viewers. Very relatable D:
man just wait and it will happen, i used to stream, used to get like 4 concurrent viewers usally, but then one day it just jumped to 30 and then i just sat there happily streaming to 30 people
This really hit home for me, I streamed for two years straight, always sat at 0 viewers. Seeing other channels grow so fast and me not making progress in the whole two years I streamed just demotivated me so much, never even knew my last stream would be the last one. I just decided I preferred playing games alone than sharing it with an audience that didn't exist. I'm glad for all the people who we're able to make it out of this, though. it really is a sucky phase and I respect the people that pulled through and kept streaming, I just couldn't do it after so long.
bro you perfectly captured the emotions as a starting twitch streamer
Seeing the bloopers at the was great hahaha
The slow ZOOM into the 0 views with the most non engaging commentary during a game really said it all
I've been streaming for now 5 years, but the first 4 years was really really on and off, with jobs changing, so time zones changed or extremely long breaks in between trying to figure things out. I feel for anyone who struggles with low view count. The one thing I would tell myself back then is, slow down on streaming, find like minded communities to engage with, always try to think outside the box, be okay with being a little uncomfortable and remember there is more to content creating than just streaming on twitch. Find your unique advantages that will make you stand out more than the next person, not in a way of you are better than the next person but the more you want to search for what you are good at or what makes you unique, the closer you will get to becoming the content creator you WANT to be.
Edit: Great video I really enjoyed the song you chose that really set the mood for how it feels getting off & feeling that confusion & frustration of, "What am I doing wrong?" when of course it should be, "What can I do differently?" excited to see other videos like this!
Heartstrings brother. Fuck twitch. You have have a real cinematic eye. I'd love to see more YT stuff from you.
I’ve been streaming on RUclips for just over a year, and I’ve managed to build a small community. The important this is to not give up. Well all get there one day. I would not have gotten my 6-10 average viewers without a little grind
Great storytelling man, you're a talented filmmaker, keep it up!
Sometimes I would want to cry myself to sleep from stuff like this, knowing that nobody is watching, streaming to an empty audience, a theater with no seats. It may take a while, or it might be quick to get attention. You won't ever know, until you start.
BRO THAT ENDING GOT ME!! I live this video
*here for the road to 4,000,000 subs*
One thing I've learned is that friends and family do not support your dreams. They only want to be a part of it after you make it. Strangers will be your biggest supporter.
Looking forward to future videos! Your transitions are TOP of the notch! They are creative, unique, and different than everyone else. I can see how much time you spent on this video. It is both impressive because of the damn good quality of this video, and how much attention it got. Though I have to say I'm not surprised by this, it deserves views to no end! Keep up the good work!
KEEP STREAMING
Beautifully made man. I fell victim to the Mixer trap, but had an average of 80 viewers on there at one point. Built a solid community and even had some merch sells. I loved it so much man, but then when I swapped over to twitch, the following didn’t transfer. I tried for a while, but it never picked back up to the height that it once was. I think about going back to content creation often, but with such a saturated space and real life obligations, it’s just not worth it for me. Hope the success of this video can get you somewhere in the creator space!
I can relate to this so hard, I've been streaming regularly for 5 years on twitch, and if I try new games outside of what I normally stream I get 0 interaction, it really makes it challenging sometimes when all you want is someone to chat with, and you feel burned out with the normal games. I know one thing tho, even though I've streamed to 0 people more times then I can count, the moments where things happen just makes it all worth it, and the reason I haven't stopped is due to the people I've had fun meeting over the years. and it's due to that which is why I don't intend to stop my streaming career anytime soon. Keep up the streams and never give up, enjoy streams the way you want too, do what makes you happy
I really wish bigger creators would look for smaller ones and give shoutouts if they like the content they see.
This is so relatable. 90% of my streams is just me talking to myself. But I’ve gotten used to talking to myself so when someone joins I can be engaging.
I see so much potential brother no one that made it expected to make it keep grinding and stay locked in
this video got recommended to me on my feed and you will definitely become a big creator i recently just started with a fresh start with streaming and videos and it really sucks to have low viewers but putting the time and ethic will always eventually work out. Never give up and i'm saying this to everyone who reads this comment as well.
Great video this was very creative and it inspired me to start my own RUclips channel! You have a great future ahead of you. Again great job. unsubscribed.
Emotional roller coaster of a comment.
yeah awesome vid bro keep up the good work. disliked.
Good video, pretty bad tbh. Liked and reported.
great vid man keep up the good work! reported for terrorism.
Great video! Never do it again! Subscribed!
This is the reason why I like to stream on tiktok. I don't have many followers but I usually get like 300 viewers within 5 minutes of the stream. I don't get paid at all but at least I can actually have conversations with people in the chat because the algorithm there is better even for new streamers.
This video is very relatable especially that Im going through it right now, 😅I've been streaming for about two years now and it was a great journey I do not regret it but how things are right now Im going to have to drop it eventually 😕
i feel this depsite that this video didn't use the craziest equipment you absolutely KILLED it my guy! you're gonna make it
Keep going man, building the community makes it worth it in the end
I love how the mood and energy of the video just jolts like the plot twist.
i tried streaming once and got 1 viewer. i was happy until the person just called me gay then left
Hahaha
I would have said, "Yeah I am what about it" 😂
hahahahaah
bro i felt this video. Im gonna start streaming soon for the first time ever and I know I'm definitely gonna be streaming to no one in the beginning. It'll be hard but I know it'll just take time.
You really put a lot of work into this and you're very skilled at video creating. Your twitch should be pretty big after this vid but I don't see a link. Either way I believe you should continue with youtube. Great things will come bro! And yeah, it's unfortunate MRBEAST didn't show up for your last stream lol but imagine if it actually happened haha.
This has to be the most wholesome, truly inspiration video I have seen for quite a while. The camera shots are freaking Hollywood quality!
I streamed consistently for 3 months and then I decided to stop. I think the main things that gets people views, even if its just 5-10 per stream, is hard work, endurance, personality, and most of all, friendships. Streaming while playing with friends is a great way to not feel lonely even if you're not getting any views. But I realized that soon my life would get just too busy to keep up the streaming endurance, and hard work. I have no personality, and little to no online friends.
It took me a little big to get out of the hole that I dug, but I was right when I stopped, my life did get busy. I have no time to stream anymore, no energy, I have a couple friends but I just let them do their own thing when they're streaming their games or just playing games for fun.
Streaming for 3 months was alright, but it was time for me to let that ship sail and cross a different bridge in my life. If you really want to stream, then keep at it. People will watch eventually, it just takes time.
completely understand this , you can’t force yourself to go live after a while you lose that passion , but don’t ever give up bro you never know when it’s your turn seriously
This video came on my recommended after I just gave up streaming after 3 years. Thanks for putting how I felt into a video!
I did not expect this at all and I'm glad I clicked on this video LMAO THE ENDING WITH MR BEAST
Thank you for posting this. This is what you call real emotion.
Beautiful video I feel proud to still be a streamer, thank you.
Inspirational man. It’s more than just believing the grind doesn’t go unnoticed!
I feel bad for the people who are kind and put so much effort into the things they love and enjoy and dont get anything they deserve but never back down, never give up (idk just saw nick eh 30 on my recommendations lol)
Hey i can relate to all of this I remember streaming to 0 people for 3 years. this video was SO WELL PERDUCED I watched 4 times over the course of 4 days id you see this just know to never give up.
You earned a sub!
99% of twitch streamers
Common practice!
Man I feel this a lot I’ve wanted to stop doing yt or felt unmotivated because I’m not touching the audience I want
bros touching his audience
@@kingderpygoat bros real mature
This is not what I expected when I clicked the thumbnail and I'm so glad I did.
Very high quality film
I hope you blowup. You’re so sweet and I’m right there with you. Most of the time I don’t have anyone watching my streams as I’ve just started. Good luck gamer. I hope to see you on twitch sometime soon:)
Thing about places like Twitch is that for new people it's extremely hard to stand out from behind already well established figures. You have to get really creative in what to do, cause if you try to do what many people already do, you wont get far. Try to be different, try out new things/games. Because if you hop on trends, don't matter how quick you are to do so, bigger streamers will always hog the spotlight.
dude this is like a whole movie good job!
you deserve way more then this, keep going!
It is a common situation shared among new streamers.
Just keep doing what we love, and we will be seen. 😊
To be Honest, Twitch has the worst algorithm, thats why you shouldnt start on it, start on RUclips, it usally exposes smaller creators more than Twitch does
