It looked like when you end an internship and start interviewing for a formal job, so you need to describe what you did in the internship, and you have an idea of what you did but don't know anything specific so you start rambling about it 🥸.
This is a clear example of how successful people delude themselves into thinking it was all because of their insane abilities and not due to luck and circumstance
@@username6787 to be honest everything takes a certain amount of luck, but viewers wont stick if you dont have the personality, skill, or blue hair to keep them entertained
Yeah he's really a noob. If I click onto a stream and I don't see a mini fridge with a see thru door and a light colored something other than fridge-light white with turned away labels of energy drinks in the background, I immediately click away.
And the complete honesty on how his hair looked and giving suggestions on how to liven up the stream. If you only have one follower, make sure it’s Samantha
I'm late to this but love that 1. The Scoliosis king has 26k followers now 2. that's more than his actual Twitch account 3. HIs actual Twitch account says " I streamed once 4 years ago" *last streamed 5 years ago* comedy
Real advice that Ninja didn't give: 1. Have your irl friends act as audience when you're just starting out. They can be your test audience, and bolster your numbers slightly. 2. Play games that have an audience but aren't dominated by big streamers. It's no surprise someone came to watch a 'nobody' play Runescape. Obviously, play what you enjoy or are good at, but you'll have a tougher time competing against people with thousands of viewers with games like Fortnite and League. 3. Raid other small streamers at the end of your stream. Bring your friend audience with you. Be friendly in chat, follow them etc. You can build a community if you befriend other streamers on a similar level of popularity to you- you can raid each other, collaborate, and often their followers end up coming to you and yours to them. It's mutually beneficial and I've made some new friends this way.
4- make your own identity. the same way ninja has his blue hair, pick something of yourself that you could use for your identity, it will be easier for others to recognize you this way. for example picking your favorite food or animal to be ur dono alert, or make characters out of your background scenario (example would be the nutcracker guy from Danny). you can do the same thing from games, like how pewdiepie had the barrels and stephano. these are simple things that will make you recognizable and unique, and remember to make most of them to be unique, kind of a "you had to be there to understand" sort of thing. ofc all of this take time to have, remember your streaming persona will take a while to solidify.
Totally. This. *obviously* nobody is going to go watch a nobody play fortnite. But there are times I'll just go look at the list of people playing The Witness, or Subnautica; popular games in their own right, with people that enjoy that content, but not streamed 24/7 by giant streamers.
If this were Danny he would have been discovered immediately, there would be more people watching the burner than his actual twitch, and he would get a million of the same comment saying “you thought you could fool us buckaroo well you thought wrong”
@@mascarponies yeah i think they were making a joke about how every time danny’s done that he’s gotten a ton of attention and everyone figured out it was him really fast
@RaniaIsAwesomeNinja has won the Summer Skirmish Series, the Winter Royale, the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am, the Twitch Rivals Fortnite Showdown, the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl, the Fortnite World Cup, and the Fortnite Pro-Am at E3. Not even dick riding I just looked this up he's kinda earned his hype my dude
@RaniaIsAwesomethe only reason we don't hear about him as much anymore is because of the exclusivity deal with mixer but he's still loaded and has a decent following tbh. You can keep hating tho this feels like it's important to you haha
@@youngspaghettii Bro wtf you talking about??? That deal with Mixer was nuked, he returned to Twitch in 2020. I don't hate ninja, no one stays at the the top forever. Dude crushed it longer than 99.9999% of people will. He made his millions, he doesn't need to stream to 60k viewers anymore.
@RaniaIsAwesome You are smoking crack. Ninja was objectively good at the game. He is objectively good at shooters. He used to play Halo professionally. The reason he was better than everyone at the start is absolutely because he is in the top percent of something (shooters). The only reason he fell off on Fortnite is because people learned how to build, an entirely new skill that Ninja had no exposure to prior to Fortnite. I guarantee you Ninja is a smart guy. Just because he says ridiculous things and has poor emotional control, doesn't mean he is stupid. Also, knowledge is not what intelligence is. Knowledge is just a way to apply intelligence. A lot of people are "knowledgeable", but all they do with it is regurgitate information to look impressive. Ironically, all I can think about now after reading your comment is about how you are probably in the bottom 10% of everything.
Huge respect to Samantha, a streamer who saw a lonely guy trying to follow Ninja’s Masterclass, realized it wasn’t working for him, and then & stuck around to give encouragement & pointers We need more Samanthas
The fact that Drew went on stream with nothing hiding his identity and got 1 follower while Danny literally created a fake person not once but twice and both times he got caught is very funny for me
There is something so funny about Samantha writing "That hair is awful", then after almost 2 minutes of silence comming back with a "I hate it". Absolutely beautiful 25:33 in the video
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him! True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Your worries (yes, anxiety), depression, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING will melt away and be NO MORE when you lean on God and put your trust in him! When I have physical pain, I literally pray and the Lord quells it, that I am healed! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.
God, the 24 hour stream section hit the nail on the head. I attempted a 24 hour stream a few years ago when I would average 6-10 viewers typically. It's so fun at the beginning, everyone is excited, feels like anything could happen. And then you get to the 18 hour mark and start asking yourself questions like "Is this worth it? Is anyone ever going to know that this event took place? Is Wendy's open yet? Does Wendy's make breakfast food?" At a certain point the desire to eat a #1, Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant dipped in Chick Fil A sauce just wins out all other desires. Truly a humbling experience.
i think about "it's yogurt time, i'm talking oikos triple zero, i hope it sends me to hell" near constantly i think it's my favorite thing drew has ever made
this is genuinely such a good example of how twitch doesn't promote growth. literally Drew Gooden with 3.7 million subscribers on youtube can secretly start streaming on twitch and it ACTUALLY just stays a secret. not a single person found out he was there and started talking about it elsewhere - just good ol samantha by his side
@Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach I literally went over to check and yeah even being logged in to my account where I almost exclusively watch speedrunners/video game content twitch would rather reccomend me this just chatting streamer with 10k viewers instead of introducing me to smaller speedrunners
@@AshChiCupcak she did! she knew who Drew was, but didn't recognize him right away. She actually made a youtube video about it and said that the day of Drew's 24 hour stream was the day of her mom's funeral. She initially found him because she likes to scroll through the OSRS tag and look for streamers she finds attractive
Here's my problem with masterclass. To be a good teacher, you don't just have to be good at the thing. You also have to be good at explaining it to other people in a way they can understand
one great masterclass is anna wintour’s class on fashion design and leadership. she doesn’t just rely on her knowledge, she also shows examples and acknowledges that she was incredibly lucky and you wont get the same results by following, which was refreshing after hundreds of videos promising you something borderline unattainable
If Drew has a million Twitch followers, Samantha is one of them. If he has 100, she is one. If he has one, it is Samantha. If he has no followers, then Samantha is dead.
I don't know why, but the fact that he went to sleep in the middle of his 24-hour stream after mumbling some incoherent words is the funniest thing to me. Imagine watching your favorite streamer and he just gets up and disappears for three whole hours.
@@timisontube This feels like the evolution of the gag in the hypercam stream where he just gets up without a word and goes to the bathroom for 5 minutes
as someone who streams to zero-3 viewers almost every time, it was kinda reassuring to see someone with millions of subs go through it. made me feel seen, thanks bro
i know how you feel man, ive sat there streaming for 4 hours straight with no one coming in, its so difficult to keep the energy up and going without having someone to bounce off. i sadly quit because of it but stay strong and keep going! i hope you will start gaining traction soon, i know its not easy but keep up the good work! is your twitch username the same as your youtube one btw?
I'm nu to twitch, joined about to months ago, k have 3 followers, 2 who simply return followed me, the 3rd is someone found me, 1 of them regularly views when I stream😊😊 I'm so happy 🎉🎉, good luck to U gentlemen👍👍💪💪
Drew with blue hair saying "I sure wish Ninja showed how to ban someone cause then I would know how to do it" after spending $200 on his class is breaking new grounds in comedy I never thought possible.
i apparently commented on this a year ago and forgot about it, but i’m now a streamer and have done a 24 hour stream and lemme tell you, drew is not lying about that. first few hours? great! hour 20? you realize your brain is gonna be rewired for a while once you’re done. i spent two weeks waking up thinking i was still streaming and panicking that i had fallen asleep on stream in a different room and would basically sleepwalk except i was streaming in bed. you might think that’s stupid, and it is, but also imagine you had to spend 24 straight hours making inane small talk to six insane people who want to see you crack - and that’s if you’re lucky enough to not have to spend them talking to yourself. imagine being a starbucks barista except it’s exclusively the bit where you have to talk to the little old lady after you’ve taken payment but she clearly just wants someone to talk to and won’t leave, but they’re a teenager who keeps calling you poggers and also you will be lucky to make $10 total after those 24 hours. 10/10 video drew, would not buy ninja’s masterclass
Don't do that to yourself. If you feel like not in the mood for talking then don't do it man it is your stream. When I turn the stream on from time to time I don't bother to talk nonstop or I will mute the game or forget even that I'm streaming and as you see in the end there is no big difference whatsoever you do. I have the most views and highest engagement when I set my stream info To play only 1 game the whole time every time I stream and I say hey guys I'm playing only that champ all the time. one trick pony but I would use to play it out of his position or do builds or just start being more aggressive changing my playstyle. I noticed how while the number of views didn't rocket or get higher there was a big difference when someone started watching they would usually stay till the end of the stream. there were once 6-7 guys watching for more than 4 full hours but no one subscribed it is going to blow their heads up if they hit subs.
As someone who worked 10 hour night shifts where I could spend the whole night not talking to a single person... I was THE MOST ANNOYING person when I came home in the morning. I would not shut up bc I was so lonely and my mom was the first person I had contact with and she *needed* to hear every thought I had the previous night.
Imagine Amanda coming back from a trip, excited to tell her husband what she did and she finds a blue haired and sleep deprived Drew trying to become a successful streamer.
I can't believe Danny gets caught instantly every single time he tries to disguise himself online, and then Drew streams on Twitch for 3 weeks without disguising his face or voice and has the Road Work Ahead sign in the frame and nobody finds out the whole time
Danny kept promoting the things he did. If it reached 10k people, some are bound to know him and share it. Drew just clicked "go live", no one ever is going to see that. He streamed for 40 hours and had 30 viewers. If one of those 30 had known Drew they'd shared it and it would've leaked, but apparently none of the 30 people who popped in at some point knew him. Not comparable
one of the reasons i like drew is because when he spends $150 on something worthless he has the human decency to get visibly angry about it. anyone who can spend that much on something frivolous without feeling physical pain is unrelatable to me.
That’s why I loved the rant about the eighty dollar pants. Because I know that with the sponsors and ad revenue Drew isn’t hurting for cash, these purchases aren’t gonna put him and Amanda on the street where Drew has to quote the road work ahead vine for food scraps. It’s the PRINCIPLE of the matter
Well as a RUclipsr his expenditures for his videos are tax write-offs so I guess that takes the sting out of spending so much on worthless crap. Not to mention he probably makes a pretty decent amount from ad revenue/sponsorships.
I literally cANNOT wrap my head around the fact that this man coloured his hair this atrocious Ninja blue for a bit....I have to say, I am so impressed this is quite possibly the funniest bit I have ever seen
The best part was how dead inside he looked after he did it, as if someone else had made him dye his hair blue and this wasn't a bit he was solely responsible for.
The dying his hair was a HUGE curveball like??? I never expected him as someone who would do that especially when literally nobody was asking him to, but at the same time I could ONLY imagine him doing that if nobody was asking him to. What a guy.
every time i come back to this video i revel at the legend that Samantha is. “That hair is awful” “Does ninja say anything about making an alluring title bc u never do that” “That fart is too long”
I laughed harder at oatmeal time and yogurt time than I have at anything in a while, if I was checking out a new streamer and they had those pop up, I'd become a loyal follower on the spot
Ya know, for a guy appropriating the term "ninja", he sure does seem to love being seen by literally everyone, everywhere, at every possible chance he can get...
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him!

8:00 fun fact, it actually kinda is! dying your hair or having a specific style makes you more memorable and easily recognizable, i mean most people know about the Rachel haircut, for example, and unless you're just a huge fan you're probably more likely to recognize Marilyn Monroe with her hair all done up than with it unstyled, and it's not always just hair like you can have the same affect with a certain accessory (like Jojo Siwa) or even just a unique feature you already have like a scar, but yeah having some physical thing about you that stays constant and stands out is definitely something that will get you more views
Kinda explains at least part of why V-tubers are so successful I think Animation just gives you so many more opportunities to have a unique look or to stand out
Ninja as a human is so bizarre because he's like a preteen's idea of a Twitch streamer but as a real person who is living a fanfiction concept of reality. "I wanted to expand my platform so I went on Ellen" is such an insane thing to say in a masterclass, either he is purposely omitting the actual work you need to do for wtv reason, or he has 20 different managers handling every part of his career for him.
Ninja is a 5 year old child in the body of an adult man, so the reason he says things like that is more to brag than anything else... like a little kid would tell his classmates about how Santa brought him more presents than anyone else, it's very cringy the way he LOOOOOOOOVES reminding everyone almost on the daily that he's been on late night shows, and ellen, and the masked singer, and that one time he did the floss in times square on new years eve... 🙄 He's like the Jake Paul of streaming... always going on about how they're the best, and #1, and how they make tons of money... it's so... ugh.
It shows how detached from reality he is and honestly kind of makes me question whether even he himself knows what made him successful in the first place. Like just say make "YT and Tik Tok content, not only Twitch", not go to hollywood and get on a talk show.
Honestly his dedication to the bit was outstanding. We watched the video and gave it a like, but he's bound to walk the earth like a Ninja wannabe for 2-4 months.
its funny to think that if this was Danny and someone came across him trying to be a successful streamer he'd be ratted out in seconds, but Drew does it and Samantha stays loyal to him and his cause
Nah. If Danny did this he would’ve had the exact same result. Danny does his secret shit on Tik Tok, where discoverability is the absolute highest of all platforms. If Drew made a secret Tik Tok account, he would’ve been ratted out immediately just like Danny. It’s just impossible to find people on Twitch. It’s a severely saturated platform.
@yeah brave sound thing is tiktok will repeatedly show videos to people, and if someone interacts with it it'll show it to people with the same palate, so if, say, out of the 200 original (random) people that the vid is shown to, one is a fan of danny and comments "omg is that dannyy???" It'll be shown to 10 more people who are MUCH more likely to like Danny, interact, and cause it to be shown to MORE fans of Danny. twitch doesn't have an algorithm like that.
My favorite part of this is that Ninja was one of the biggest streamers out there but can't explain how to stream successfully. His fame was mostly pure luck and this helps to show it
@@lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaIa yesterday I sorted comments by newest first and I saw her comment, her username here is also mimosamantha and Drew hearted her comment
as a guy with 4 followers on twitch seeing such a huge creator go through the same struggles is really helpful. thanks for putting this out drew u a good man
this is a great example of how terrible the discoverability on twitch is. even for someone with MILLIONS of RUclips subscribers, nobody knew when you streamed for FORTY HOURS
Well to be fair, I didn’t see Drew use his youtube audience at all…I don’t recall him tweeting or posting about it anyway (probably on purpose), plus I doubt that the general twitch audience would recognise Drew. It’s just an audience difference issue, plus Drew was actually trying to prove if the Masterclass worked without him using his existing fanbase. It didn’t, which makes the Masterclass all the more useless. Drew’s content also isn’t really…streamable. No one who enjoys video essays like Drew’s is scrolling twitch looking for Drew Gooden to stream. It’s not really a discoverability issue, it’s just a clear example that making it on Twitch is incredibly challenging if the odds don’t pull in your favour. There’s a lot of youtubers who would pull a draw if they started streaming, but if no one knew about it (again this is the point) no one would come. Pretty rare for someone among the massive sea of small streamers to stumble onto Drew and then know who he is, and then share with people over the internet etc etc Anyway, point is, Drew chose not to stack the odds in his favour to test the Masterclass. The point is made; Ninja’s masterclass is a waste of time and money. The twitch discoverability doesn’t come into it.
@@caleblim6890the essay you just wrote was a little pointless do you know what the word discoverability even means ? Like you literally said "it's not a discovery issue its..." then described exactly the definition of a discoverability issue my dude. Do you know what you're talking about ?
@@youngspaghettiiI mean yeah and no? They're exactly right, Drew's content and audience is **not** easily transferable to Twitch on its own. His humor works, but there are tons of funny people who play games on twitch lol. Twitch is not good at promoting new streamers. As well as Drew, specifically, not being recognized or discovered does not prove that alone. If that makes sense? The prior knowledge of who he is skews perspective. Hbomb is a good example of a guy making the exact same type of content, has a similar personality, and is definitely one of the most influential RUclipsrs for 5ish~. years now and his livestream numbers were poop. Is what it is, twitch is a darkhole of bullshit.
@hiddenleafdrip3869 I agree with the general point youre making ig but there was definitely a better way to rebut the original commenter. There are several entire paragraphs that reduced his credibility when he could have very simply explained that there's no correlation between his youtube suscribership and his gains in twitch following at the time because he did not utilize his social media to boost the numbers on purpose
@@caleblim6890here’s the thing, Danny will make a secret TikTok and TRY to hide his identity, and strong algorithms like TikTok and instagram, push the accounts to his fans and they find him fast and blow up his content, the same would happen with drew but because twitch has a very bad algorithm
This is honestly such a good thing that Drew did. Showing a large audience that there is no infallible formula for online success is a public service. It's the opposite of what Jake Paul does. Enough of this bs "work hard, follow these steps and success will happen" rhetoric that gives people ridiculous expectations and makes them feel guilty when success doesn't happen. You can do everything right and still go nowhere. Luck is a huge factor and I hate content creators who don't acknowledge it. Even if Ninja or Logan Paul's courses were good (which they're not), pretending as if there's a standardized way to become successful online is still incredibly harmful to the impressionable kids watching.
this!! Theres a video Ludwig did about making a brand new youtube channel from scratch to "prove its not just luck" despite the ONE thing that gets him succsess and helps him complete the goals he'd set for the video is... the LUCK of promoting his video in a popular twitch streamers chat by donating like 50$ for attention and just HOPING they're arrogant enough to watch it on stream because the video Ludwig's secrect channel was promoting happened to be about that one streamer. yet ive seen so many ppl laud this video around for "look, luck has nothing to do with it just make good stuff blah blah" when that video prove nothing other than "you can gain noteriety by ignoring streaming ettiqute and self-promoing on a popular twitch stream. its insane
@@resmur8095 Yes, if you work hard and provide a regular stream of good content and multiple social media presences you will get at least somewhat of a following. However, getting Pewdiepie big or Ninja big is more about being at the right place at the right time. It's like comparing working a career in Boston to working a career in Hollywood.
i kinda expected him to do it with no camera or some terrible disguise or something. showing that he only got a total of like 30 unique viewers and 1 follower over 40 hours was a really powerful part of the video. i almost wanna say it's a dig at Twitch and their lack of discovery systems, but streaming is also stupidly saturated anyway. it's just nice seeing that even a giant goofball idiot like Drew can't just magically attract people to a stream. those 18 minutes or so were more educational and useful than the entirety of Ninja's course.
you can't blame ninja for your twitch failure, you didn't do everything he taught, yes you didn't ask samantha or the other viewer about their dog, you could have gone places drew...
@@heather_doestruecrime seriously, pretty much all of it was "be ingenuine for essentially popularity" (disclaimer: I know many people stream to put food on the table, but if you're taking this class you probably don't already have a career in it or content creation in general, thus your motivations are likely tied with desires of visibility and recognition)
Honestly this is kind of a good example of how terrible twitch is for smaller creators. The front page of twitch basically only shows me popular 10k viewer streams of categories I have never watched once instead of smaller streamers streaming things I’d be interested in. As many issues as I have with RUclips, the system here is definitely better for allowing smaller channels a chance to be found.
It is your job as a viewer to find the content you wanna watch. You can easily go into the category of your choice and sort to find smaller streamers if that's what you wanna support. At the end of the day it's the streamers job to get noticed not the platform.
One thing about mixer that was cool is they did have the big streamers on the front page, but also had a good section devoted to showing off smaller streamers who were like sub 200 followers.
@@exitoz1396 it is actually the platform's job to direct their users to content that they want to watch, or they will stop using the platform and the website will fail
I know this is hella old but I really appreciate someone taking the time to actually showcase their path of starting from nothing, without using other socials to boost your stream. (Not to mention it was hilarious xD) It shows how hard it is, and actually makes me feel way better the like 3 times I tried streaming for myself.
It’s insane how Danny can disguise himself and pretend to be someone else and everybody knows it’s him, but when Drew just streams as himself for a month no one notices.
love how danny goes on a different platform, reinvents himself, hides under photoshop and costumes and is recognized within the hour but drew goes on a different platform, streams for 40 hours as himself and goes completely unnoticed by his fans. like the fact that they both got opposite of what they wanted.... so funny to me
@@saintazepam honestly that's because of the nature of the formats not the platforms imo. TikTok is extremely short videos mean you can engage with a much larger amount of content while twitch is a lot more time consuming to watch one streamer
@@-aexc- True, but it’s definitely the platform too. Tiktok’s algorithm for content is great at its job of finding anything possible that interests people to keep them on the app. Once one fan found Danny, it could analyze who they followed, common people with similar content, and then once it realized the link between them it could push Danny’s burner to everyone who followed Danny
As soon as Drew started playing the “blue hair” scenes for the second time, I knew he did it. I knew he dyed his hair. And I knew he regretted it. He committed to the video. (For the vine tbh)
the funniest thing about this is that drew didnt even hide his face or the fact that it was him. all he needed was like ...a few people to find him and spread the word yet no one noticed 😂
@@kc-eq4tk there are so many streaming terms that would have been helpful to put there. How is a new streamer supposed to know what it means when chat spams the *huh* or *batchest* emote for the billionth time.
I like how Drew doesn't wanna go to the store because of his blue hair, but then puts a video online for *literally* the entire world to see. Gotta love him.
the internet knowing he dyed his hair blue for a ninja joke is less embarrassing than random people in the outside world stare at you for having blue highlighter wig
as a small streamer it was genuinely really encouraging to watch drew have so few viewers despite being a talented person used to making videos, it makes it feel less like i'm doing something wrong and more like it has to do with patience and luck
@@salem-01 it doesn't you're right but i have found some fantastic stuff from scrolling a category i like (like samantha in this vid) and i think that's a behavior twitch should promote
My theory: The masterclass is vague about how to become successful in streaming because he doesn't actually know why he became successful. I think he fell in to it, and is trying to inflate his accomplishments as some sort of strategy in order to sell said masterclass.
Having your one viewer tell you they absolutely hated your hair is so funny to me, oh drew! Thank you for doing this review and earnestly mocking the process! One of my favs of yours in a while!
I'm not even kidding you Drew, oatmeal time is literally one of the funniest stream bits I have ever seen and it does kinda make me wish you did actually stream.
It makes me feel really good about myself that a RUclipsr with 3 million subscribers managed to get as many Twitch viewers as me. This video does a great job putting into perspective how difficult it is to build an audience on a social media platform. It’s so oversaturated now that it is this grueling, no matter how much it’s something you want. It’s all luck based! So if you’re really passionate about it, go ham!
@@moongirl8807 facts. It's ridiculously bad to the point where most streamers use other platforms like Tiktok and RUclips to promote themselves. I'd say social media isn't too bad if you're doing the right things. I managed to grow a niche Tiktok account to 2000 followers in just 1 month. I also managed to get a RUclips channel to 1000 subscribers in 2 years (yes I know that's slower than average). It's all about experimenting with different types of content
Building an audience on Twitch alone is almost impossible in 2022. You have to have an audience elsewhere first. It's so sad seeing people streaming endlessly for no one when they could out that effort into making RUclips videos to build a fan base :(
@@Muhluri Honestly, 1000 subs in 2 years sounds pretty impressive to me considering how saturated it is over here. It took me almost 6 years to get 1000 followers on Instagram (granted, that is extremely slow growth), and I think it’s comparatively easier to grow there than it is on RUclips.
Nah, it isn’t too hard. You’re just doing on the absolute worst platform on the entire internet. Every single successful Twitch streamer has said the same thing; If you want a career on Twitch, DO NOT START THERE. Build a following on a platform with better viewer retention and a better algorithm. RUclips or Tik Tok. That’s why so many Tik Timer’s become Twitch streamers. Because Tik Tok is a get big quick platform, but it has horrible longevity and earnings. So they take that audience they’ve built there over to Twitch. I promise if you switch to RUclips or Tik Tok and stay dedicated, you will eventually build on audience. Give up on starting on Twitch. It truly isn’t worth it, and most likely will not kick start a career for you.
Ninja should be the last person to tell people how to deal with toxicity, considering he has been abusing his relationship with Fortnite to report people for stream sniping in the past.
Drew may not post all the time, but when he does the editing and the clear amount of time he puts into his videos make it totally worth it. I've been watching him for years, and can genuinely say how good he is at his job.
I totally agree! I’ve been watching since vine ended and it’s always a good day when he uploads. He’s just gotten better and better and it’s been great to see how the quality of his videos has always been excellent over the years, and he takes the time off when he needs it to not get burnt out so that his content stays consistently great
@@onecreepypenguin9138 I initially clicked on it thinking it was just some cute dude but then I debated in my head for about 30 seconds if it was just him or someone who looked like him. But I knew when I saw the road work sign in the back
When he said that he was going to try to gain fame through streaming himself, I expected him to take some steps to cover up his face or at least make himself less recognizable so that he wouldn't have any unfair advantage. Nope. Not even Drew's well-established online presence could get him to grow his Twitch channel from nothing. I'd imagine it's hard to stay optimistic as a small streamer.
To be fair, if all you're doing is streaming and only streaming, you're pretty much not going to get anything at all. Networking is a HUGE part of growing an audience, and it requires a lot of time and effort. If you're throwing away hours and hours into streaming, you're way less likely to be discovered than people who stream less and network more.
@@nomoretwitterhandles that's more of an issue with Twitch rather than streaming in general. In any other social media platform, if you wanna gain more followers you just optimize yourself within that platform and that's more than enough to get a sizeable number. You don't need a good Facebook/Instagram/Twitter account to be big on RUclips and vice-versa. Do they help? Sure, but they aren't necessary for growth. Twitch however, is garbage in this regard. Their discoverability algorithm is straight up not good, same for their VoDs, and that's why every single streamer has to have a RUclips account to cross promote themselves to grow.
I can just imagine Amanda’s confusion and concern, coming home from a long day of work to see Drew suddenly with blue hair and jamming out to it’s yogurt time.
Jokes and sarcasm aside, I think it’s really important for people who are thinking about getting into streaming to see that even a really successful RUclipsr ran into the struggles of a new, unknown streamer. Success takes time and we need to temper our expectations. It’s really difficult to stream to 0 viewers and maintain any sort of energy.
“Does Ninja say anything about making an alluring title bc you never do that” I love how savage Samantha was, whilst also sticking by you and supporting you. I am a Samantha Stan now.
Can someone please report Lakehuntist? His comment is very alarming. I saw a video saved on their channel from a similar looking account where a cat could be harmed, but you have to click on it to report it. I was too scared to click on it in fear of what I might see. Could someone please report it? Animal cruelty should be stopped at all costs.
Am I alone in feeling stressed out at the idea of being Samantha? Just wandering in and finding you're the only one there, and sure the content is fine but also now you can never leave and abandon the poor streamer to the void?
I was literally just thinking about this seconds before seeing your comment. Like I'd love to be the Samantha to someone's stream, because it would be kinda wholesome to support someone like that, but also that's a lot of pressure. I'd feel so stressed at the thought of disappointing or abandoning them.
Me lol I've been to plenty of streams where I was the only one commenting anything (or even just the only one watching sometimes) and I felt like shit whenever I had to leave to, ya know, live my life. It just feels so sad, to leave them to talk on their own for an hour :(

Ninja's Masterclass course feels more like he's describing his job to his therapist
I have an anxiety disorder, and I don't stutter/pause in my streams _nearly_ as much as Ninja did 😂
It looked like when you end an internship and start interviewing for a formal job, so you need to describe what you did in the internship, and you have an idea of what you did but don't know anything specific so you start rambling about it 🥸.

This is a clear example of how successful people delude themselves into thinking it was all because of their insane abilities and not due to luck and circumstance
Or due to their hair and mini fridge

Shout out to Samantha for being Drew’s most loyal Twitch follower. Sure, she was his only Twitch follower, but the point still stands
We must find and protect them at all cost
And the complete honesty on how his hair looked and giving suggestions on how to liven up the stream. If you only have one follower, make sure it’s Samantha

Real advice that Ninja didn't give:
1. Have your irl friends act as audience when you're just starting out. They can be your test audience, and bolster your numbers slightly.
2. Play games that have an audience but aren't dominated by big streamers. It's no surprise someone came to watch a 'nobody' play Runescape. Obviously, play what you enjoy or are good at, but you'll have a tougher time competing against people with thousands of viewers with games like Fortnite and League.
3. Raid other small streamers at the end of your stream. Bring your friend audience with you. Be friendly in chat, follow them etc. You can build a community if you befriend other streamers on a similar level of popularity to you- you can raid each other, collaborate, and often their followers end up coming to you and yours to them. It's mutually beneficial and I've made some new friends this way.
Amazing advice 👏👏
You deserve a Master Class
4- make your own identity. the same way ninja has his blue hair, pick something of yourself that you could use for your identity, it will be easier for others to recognize you this way. for example picking your favorite food or animal to be ur dono alert, or make characters out of your background scenario (example would be the nutcracker guy from Danny). you can do the same thing from games, like how pewdiepie had the barrels and stephano. these are simple things that will make you recognizable and unique, and remember to make most of them to be unique, kind of a "you had to be there to understand" sort of thing. ofc all of this take time to have, remember your streaming persona will take a while to solidify.
slight problem - i don’t have any irl friends
Totally. This. *obviously* nobody is going to go watch a nobody play fortnite. But there are times I'll just go look at the list of people playing The Witness, or Subnautica; popular games in their own right, with people that enjoy that content, but not streamed 24/7 by giant streamers.
i just know a vein is throbbing in dannys head watching drew make absolutely no attempt to disguise himself and not get recognised anyway
To be fair only 2 people watched Drew stream
this is so funny
If this were Danny he would have been discovered immediately, there would be more people watching the burner than his actual twitch, and he would get a million of the same comment saying “you thought you could fool us buckaroo well you thought wrong”
@@jeniferjoseph9200 I think they’re referring to the vid from a while back where he hid his identity lol
@@mascarponies yeah i think they were making a joke about how every time danny’s done that he’s gotten a ton of attention and everyone figured out it was him really fast
honestly if you are going to dye your hair bright blue for 150 dollars, drew picked the right stylist. the color matches his undertone perfectly
Speaking as a cosmetologist, it really is a nice dye job
I’m not a cosmetologist but I can tell it’s really well done
Speaking as a poor person I couldn't have spent 150 dollars better
It was a really nice blue! Amazing for one session!
It is dead on ninja hair
This whole class shows how Ninja has NO clue how or why he is successful. You said it best with "playing the right game at the right time"
@RaniaIsAwesomei thought he was actually good though
@RaniaIsAwesomeNinja has won the Summer Skirmish Series, the Winter Royale, the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am, the Twitch Rivals Fortnite Showdown, the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl, the Fortnite World Cup, and the Fortnite Pro-Am at E3. Not even dick riding I just looked this up he's kinda earned his hype my dude
@RaniaIsAwesomethe only reason we don't hear about him as much anymore is because of the exclusivity deal with mixer but he's still loaded and has a decent following tbh. You can keep hating tho this feels like it's important to you haha
@@youngspaghettii Bro wtf you talking about??? That deal with Mixer was nuked, he returned to Twitch in 2020. I don't hate ninja, no one stays at the the top forever. Dude crushed it longer than 99.9999% of people will. He made his millions, he doesn't need to stream to 60k viewers anymore.
@RaniaIsAwesome You are smoking crack. Ninja was objectively good at the game. He is objectively good at shooters. He used to play Halo professionally. The reason he was better than everyone at the start is absolutely because he is in the top percent of something (shooters). The only reason he fell off on Fortnite is because people learned how to build, an entirely new skill that Ninja had no exposure to prior to Fortnite. I guarantee you Ninja is a smart guy. Just because he says ridiculous things and has poor emotional control, doesn't mean he is stupid. Also, knowledge is not what intelligence is. Knowledge is just a way to apply intelligence. A lot of people are "knowledgeable", but all they do with it is regurgitate information to look impressive. Ironically, all I can think about now after reading your comment is about how you are probably in the bottom 10% of everything.
Huge respect to Samantha, a streamer who saw a lonely guy trying to follow Ninja’s Masterclass, realized it wasn’t working for him, and then & stuck around to give encouragement & pointers

God, the 24 hour stream section hit the nail on the head. I attempted a 24 hour stream a few years ago when I would average 6-10 viewers typically. It's so fun at the beginning, everyone is excited, feels like anything could happen. And then you get to the 18 hour mark and start asking yourself questions like "Is this worth it? Is anyone ever going to know that this event took place? Is Wendy's open yet? Does Wendy's make breakfast food?" At a certain point the desire to eat a #1, Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant dipped in Chick Fil A sauce just wins out all other desires. Truly a humbling experience.

Here's my problem with masterclass. To be a good teacher, you don't just have to be good at the thing. You also have to be good at explaining it to other people in a way they can understand
yes just because they are celebrities does not qualify them to teach idk who thought it did
Absolutely. Plenty of professionals have no experience in the thing they are versed in. Like acting, singing, baking, etc.
one great masterclass is anna wintour’s class on fashion design and leadership. she doesn’t just rely on her knowledge, she also shows examples and acknowledges that she was incredibly lucky and you wont get the same results by following, which was refreshing after hundreds of videos promising you something borderline unattainable
@@fujsterA culture that conflates wealth with intelligence?

10/10 video drew, would not buy ninja’s masterclass
Don't do that to yourself. If you feel like not in the mood for talking then don't do it man it is your stream. When I turn the stream on from time to time I don't bother to talk nonstop or I will mute the game or forget even that I'm streaming and as you see in the end there is no big difference whatsoever you do. I have the most views and highest engagement when I set my stream info To play only 1 game the whole time every time I stream and I say hey guys I'm playing only that champ all the time. one trick pony but I would use to play it out of his position or do builds or just start being more aggressive changing my playstyle. I noticed how while the number of views didn't rocket or get higher there was a big difference when someone started watching they would usually stay till the end of the stream. there were once 6-7 guys watching for more than 4 full hours but no one subscribed it is going to blow their heads up if they hit subs.
I used to work 12 hour shifts.. doing anything for that long sucks .. 24 sounds so so so much worse... soul destroying
As someone who worked 10 hour night shifts where I could spend the whole night not talking to a single person... I was THE MOST ANNOYING person when I came home in the morning. I would not shut up bc I was so lonely and my mom was the first person I had contact with and she *needed* to hear every thought I had the previous night.

Danny kept promoting the things he did. If it reached 10k people, some are bound to know him and share it. Drew just clicked "go live", no one ever is going to see that.

It's so damn funny she insulted his hair, since that was the first insult Ninja could come up with on the spot.
8:00 fun fact, it actually kinda is! dying your hair or having a specific style makes you more memorable and easily recognizable, i mean most people know about the Rachel haircut, for example, and unless you're just a huge fan you're probably more likely to recognize Marilyn Monroe with her hair all done up than with it unstyled, and it's not always just hair like you can have the same affect with a certain accessory (like Jojo Siwa) or even just a unique feature you already have like a scar, but yeah having some physical thing about you that stays constant and stands out is definitely something that will get you more views
Kinda explains at least part of why V-tubers are so successful I think
Animation just gives you so many more opportunities to have a unique look or to stand out
Ice spice is a huge recent example of this, as is Billy eilish
Ninja as a human is so bizarre because he's like a preteen's idea of a Twitch streamer but as a real person who is living a fanfiction concept of reality. "I wanted to expand my platform so I went on Ellen" is such an insane thing to say in a masterclass, either he is purposely omitting the actual work you need to do for wtv reason, or he has 20 different managers handling every part of his career for him.
I'm gonna go with the latter. Dude turned himself into a commodity and just seems to do anything an agent says.
Or, the dude just got hella lucky and stumbled into his success and thinks that's normal career trajectory. That ones the most funny to me.
Ninja is a 5 year old child in the body of an adult man, so the reason he says things like that is more to brag than anything else... like a little kid would tell his classmates about how Santa brought him more presents than anyone else, it's very cringy the way he LOOOOOOOOVES reminding everyone almost on the daily that he's been on late night shows, and ellen, and the masked singer, and that one time he did the floss in times square on new years eve... 🙄
He's like the Jake Paul of streaming... always going on about how they're the best, and #1, and how they make tons of money... it's so... ugh.
@@0v_x0 flashbacks to ninja doing one of those terrible takis commercials 😵
It shows how detached from reality he is and honestly kind of makes me question whether even he himself knows what made him successful in the first place. Like just say make "YT and Tik Tok content, not only Twitch", not go to hollywood and get on a talk show.
When he actually showed up with the blue hair I absolutely lost it, A+ comedic timing
Honestly his dedication to the bit was outstanding. We watched the video and gave it a like, but he's bound to walk the earth like a Ninja wannabe for 2-4 months.

@@sherbet_the_destroyer memento mori friend, may pee sauna live on forever in our hearts
Memento Mori, my friend🖤🤍
its funny to think that if this was Danny and someone came across him trying to be a successful streamer he'd be ratted out in seconds, but Drew does it and Samantha stays loyal to him and his cause
in literal milliseconds. he wouldn't even have time to tell us his latest fake name
Samantha is a very loyal person
well probably except it is kinda hard to discover new streamers on twitch but im sure theyd find a way
Nah. If Danny did this he would’ve had the exact same result. Danny does his secret shit on Tik Tok, where discoverability is the absolute highest of all platforms. If Drew made a secret Tik Tok account, he would’ve been ratted out immediately just like Danny. It’s just impossible to find people on Twitch. It’s a severely saturated platform.
@yeah brave sound thing is tiktok will repeatedly show videos to people, and if someone interacts with it it'll show it to people with the same palate, so if, say, out of the 200 original (random) people that the vid is shown to, one is a fan of danny and comments "omg is that dannyy???" It'll be shown to 10 more people who are MUCH more likely to like Danny, interact, and cause it to be shown to MORE fans of Danny. twitch doesn't have an algorithm like that.
My favorite part of this is that Ninja was one of the biggest streamers out there but can't explain how to stream successfully. His fame was mostly pure luck and this helps to show it
Luck? He has crazy blue hair, and his fridge is really fun to look at. That ain't luck bro. Man's a master.

Twitch is the worst for growing your channel.. many creators start out on YT before expanding to Twitch
@@hilal_younus I don't stream to grow I just find it a fun hobby
drop your channel name
@kushanti if you wanna see some garbage lmao
this is a great example of how terrible the discoverability on twitch is. even for someone with MILLIONS of RUclips subscribers, nobody knew when you streamed for FORTY HOURS
Well to be fair, I didn’t see Drew use his youtube audience at all…I don’t recall him tweeting or posting about it anyway (probably on purpose), plus I doubt that the general twitch audience would recognise Drew.
It’s just an audience difference issue, plus Drew was actually trying to prove if the Masterclass worked without him using his existing fanbase. It didn’t, which makes the Masterclass all the more useless.
Drew’s content also isn’t really…streamable.
No one who enjoys video essays like Drew’s is scrolling twitch looking for Drew Gooden to stream. It’s not really a discoverability issue, it’s just a clear example that making it on Twitch is incredibly challenging if the odds don’t pull in your favour.
There’s a lot of youtubers who would pull a draw if they started streaming, but if no one knew about it (again this is the point) no one would come. Pretty rare for someone among the massive sea of small streamers to stumble onto Drew and then know who he is, and then share with people over the internet etc etc
Anyway, point is, Drew chose not to stack the odds in his favour to test the Masterclass.
The point is made; Ninja’s masterclass is a waste of time and money. The twitch discoverability doesn’t come into it.
@@caleblim6890the essay you just wrote was a little pointless do you know what the word discoverability even means ? Like you literally said "it's not a discovery issue its..." then described exactly the definition of a discoverability issue my dude. Do you know what you're talking about ?
@@youngspaghettiiI mean yeah and no? They're exactly right, Drew's content and audience is **not** easily transferable to Twitch on its own. His humor works, but there are tons of funny people who play games on twitch lol.
Twitch is not good at promoting new streamers. As well as Drew, specifically, not being recognized or discovered does not prove that alone. If that makes sense? The prior knowledge of who he is skews perspective. Hbomb is a good example of a guy making the exact same type of content, has a similar personality, and is definitely one of the most influential RUclipsrs for 5ish~. years now and his livestream numbers were poop. Is what it is, twitch is a darkhole of bullshit.
@hiddenleafdrip3869 I agree with the general point youre making ig but there was definitely a better way to rebut the original commenter. There are several entire paragraphs that reduced his credibility when he could have very simply explained that there's no correlation between his youtube suscribership and his gains in twitch following at the time because he did not utilize his social media to boost the numbers on purpose
@@caleblim6890here’s the thing, Danny will make a secret TikTok and TRY to hide his identity, and strong algorithms like TikTok and instagram, push the accounts to his fans and they find him fast and blow up his content, the same would happen with drew but because twitch has a very bad algorithm

I'm glad Samantha wants the Scoliosisking to succeed. I hope she's not too sad to see his account go dead
"Does ninja say something about making an alluring title because you never do that" gets a gold star from me
currently petitioning for Samantha to get her own course on Masterclass
I wonder if she found out about Drew's RUclips channel yet
This is honestly such a good thing that Drew did. Showing a large audience that there is no infallible formula for online success is a public service. It's the opposite of what Jake Paul does.
Enough of this bs "work hard, follow these steps and success will happen" rhetoric that gives people ridiculous expectations and makes them feel guilty when success doesn't happen.
You can do everything right and still go nowhere. Luck is a huge factor and I hate content creators who don't acknowledge it.
Even if Ninja or Logan Paul's courses were good (which they're not), pretending as if there's a standardized way to become successful online is still incredibly harmful to the impressionable kids watching.
Super Eyepatch Wolf did a really good video on these courses which I highly recommend checking out.
this!! Theres a video Ludwig did about making a brand new youtube channel from scratch to "prove its not just luck" despite the ONE thing that gets him succsess and helps him complete the goals he'd set for the video is... the LUCK of promoting his video in a popular twitch streamers chat by donating like 50$ for attention and just HOPING they're arrogant enough to watch it on stream because the video Ludwig's secrect channel was promoting happened to be about that one streamer.
yet ive seen so many ppl laud this video around for "look, luck has nothing to do with it just make good stuff blah blah" when that video prove nothing other than "you can gain noteriety by ignoring streaming ettiqute and self-promoing on a popular twitch stream. its insane
@@VelvetCake423 work smarter not harder, essentially applies to everything in life
@@resmur8095 Yes, if you work hard and provide a regular stream of good content and multiple social media presences you will get at least somewhat of a following. However, getting Pewdiepie big or Ninja big is more about being at the right place at the right time. It's like comparing working a career in Boston to working a career in Hollywood.
i kinda expected him to do it with no camera or some terrible disguise or something. showing that he only got a total of like 30 unique viewers and 1 follower over 40 hours was a really powerful part of the video. i almost wanna say it's a dig at Twitch and their lack of discovery systems, but streaming is also stupidly saturated anyway. it's just nice seeing that even a giant goofball idiot like Drew can't just magically attract people to a stream. those 18 minutes or so were more educational and useful than the entirety of Ninja's course.
This feels like the B plot to a sitcom, where the A plot follows Amanda as she leaves for the weekend.
you can't blame ninja for your twitch failure, you didn't do everything he taught, yes you didn't ask samantha or the other viewer about their dog, you could have gone places drew...
Oh god not the sick dog!

@@heather_doestruecrime seriously, pretty much all of it was "be ingenuine for essentially popularity" (disclaimer: I know many people stream to put food on the table, but if you're taking this class you probably don't already have a career in it or content creation in general, thus your motivations are likely tied with desires of visibility and recognition)
I find it funny that when Danny does a disguise, everyone recognizes him but drew can just stream without any disguise and not get recognized at all
That shows very well how hard it is to be discovered and get started on twitch
That’s because 🎶they are not the same person🎶
Twitch favors bigger streamers with only twitch its impossible to get big
i think samantha actually did realize it was drew
coz Danny disguises himself on tiktok and YT where it is relatively easier to be discovered, at least compared to twitch.
Honestly this is kind of a good example of how terrible twitch is for smaller creators. The front page of twitch basically only shows me popular 10k viewer streams of categories I have never watched once instead of smaller streamers streaming things I’d be interested in. As many issues as I have with RUclips, the system here is definitely better for allowing smaller channels a chance to be found.
It is your job as a viewer to find the content you wanna watch. You can easily go into the category of your choice and sort to find smaller streamers if that's what you wanna support. At the end of the day it's the streamers job to get noticed not the platform.
@@exitoz1396 bad take
One thing about mixer that was cool is they did have the big streamers on the front page, but also had a good section devoted to showing off smaller streamers who were like sub 200 followers.
yeah, even if you ask bigger twitch streamers their advice is to start on another website and bring your viewers over to twitch
@@exitoz1396 it is actually the platform's job to direct their users to content that they want to watch, or they will stop using the platform and the website will fail
I know this is hella old but I really appreciate someone taking the time to actually showcase their path of starting from nothing, without using other socials to boost your stream. (Not to mention it was hilarious xD) It shows how hard it is, and actually makes me feel way better the like 3 times I tried streaming for myself.
It’s insane how Danny can disguise himself and pretend to be someone else and everybody knows it’s him, but when Drew just streams as himself for a month no one notices.
That was tiktok, I think that means something
HAHAHAHAHA
Tiktok algorithm is just that powerful
twitch algorithim is horrible. the only chances you find him is if you happen to be searching for the king of scoliosis

inadvertently, these two experiments showed how awful Twitch's discoverability is and how good TikTok's is
@@saintazepam honestly that's because of the nature of the formats not the platforms imo. TikTok is extremely short videos mean you can engage with a much larger amount of content while twitch is a lot more time consuming to watch one streamer
@@-aexc- True, but it’s definitely the platform too. Tiktok’s algorithm for content is great at its job of finding anything possible that interests people to keep them on the app. Once one fan found Danny, it could analyze who they followed, common people with similar content, and then once it realized the link between them it could push Danny’s burner to everyone who followed Danny

Agreed. I'm honestly obsessed with it.

It makes me feel really good about myself that a RUclipsr with 3 million subscribers managed to get as many Twitch viewers as me. This video does a great job putting into perspective how difficult it is to build an audience on a social media platform. It’s so oversaturated now that it is this grueling, no matter how much it’s something you want. It’s all luck based! So if you’re really passionate about it, go ham!
Yeah but Twitch also has an awful algorithm, it's almost impossible to grow from zero with no other followers from other platforms
@@moongirl8807 facts. It's ridiculously bad to the point where most streamers use other platforms like Tiktok and RUclips to promote themselves.
I'd say social media isn't too bad if you're doing the right things. I managed to grow a niche Tiktok account to 2000 followers in just 1 month. I also managed to get a RUclips channel to 1000 subscribers in 2 years (yes I know that's slower than average). It's all about experimenting with different types of content
Building an audience on Twitch alone is almost impossible in 2022. You have to have an audience elsewhere first. It's so sad seeing people streaming endlessly for no one when they could out that effort into making RUclips videos to build a fan base :(
@@Muhluri Honestly, 1000 subs in 2 years sounds pretty impressive to me considering how saturated it is over here. It took me almost 6 years to get 1000 followers on Instagram (granted, that is extremely slow growth), and I think it’s comparatively easier to grow there than it is on RUclips.
Nah, it isn’t too hard. You’re just doing on the absolute worst platform on the entire internet. Every single successful Twitch streamer has said the same thing; If you want a career on Twitch, DO NOT START THERE. Build a following on a platform with better viewer retention and a better algorithm. RUclips or Tik Tok. That’s why so many Tik Timer’s become Twitch streamers. Because Tik Tok is a get big quick platform, but it has horrible longevity and earnings. So they take that audience they’ve built there over to Twitch. I promise if you switch to RUclips or Tik Tok and stay dedicated, you will eventually build on audience. Give up on starting on Twitch. It truly isn’t worth it, and most likely will not kick start a career for you.
Ninja should be the last person to tell people how to deal with toxicity, considering he has been abusing his relationship with Fortnite to report people for stream sniping in the past.
Drew may not post all the time, but when he does the editing and the clear amount of time he puts into his videos make it totally worth it. I've been watching him for years, and can genuinely say how good he is at his job.

Nope. Not even Drew's well-established online presence could get him to grow his Twitch channel from nothing. I'd imagine it's hard to stay optimistic as a small streamer.
It's awful.
To be fair, if all you're doing is streaming and only streaming, you're pretty much not going to get anything at all. Networking is a HUGE part of growing an audience, and it requires a lot of time and effort. If you're throwing away hours and hours into streaming, you're way less likely to be discovered than people who stream less and network more.
@@nomoretwitterhandles that's more of an issue with Twitch rather than streaming in general. In any other social media platform, if you wanna gain more followers you just optimize yourself within that platform and that's more than enough to get a sizeable number. You don't need a good Facebook/Instagram/Twitter account to be big on RUclips and vice-versa. Do they help? Sure, but they aren't necessary for growth. Twitch however, is garbage in this regard. Their discoverability algorithm is straight up not good, same for their VoDs, and that's why every single streamer has to have a RUclips account to cross promote themselves to grow.
