Well said, even though I’m new to the community I can not but agree with it all, the interaction from others a like a comment of hi a follow makes a streamers day, some times it is the only interaction a person gets. The comparison that streamers go through is unbearable sometimes and the wondering as why I am I not getting that is it this is it that what am I doing wrong as I doing anything wrong do I need a new set up is the background the issue the lights or even how I look all plays a significant part to streaming. Is it fun? Yes is it stressful? Yes is it a job? Yes so as Bradley-leaf says just be kind and say hi and if you don’t want to or don’t like what you see just walk on by
Streamers stress
They will spend months, even years trying to figure out their content, their brand and even themselves!
They will second guess every move and still make plenty of mistakes
They have or will need to spend thousands of pounds (the might not have) acquiring equipment that is ESSENTIAL in delivering the high quality that has become industry standard!
They will spend an unfathomable about of time behind the scenes away from friends and family working on skill, content, stream, GFX, networking, research and setups, creating videos, post or images!
They will have to deal with daily haters in stream & even negative post, inboxes, videos, accusations & even memes about them!
They can sit one day/week with the highest views they've ever had, followed by the lowest, this can be crippling!
They will compare their own success to others this can alap be crippling!.
THEY WILL GO LIVE, even when they shouldn't, even when they're dealing with the struggle and the lows of real life!
Oh and they can play a broken ass game riddled with hackers that almost impossible to exell in unless you're absolutely goated!
So yeah.... the next time a creator you follow goes live or realeases a posts just remember, they're probably doing everything in their power to succeed and as a collective, you the viewers have the power to make real impact on that creators success, all it takes is a like, a share or comment to let them know AND to let FACEBOOKS algorithm know they're doing a good job, it's that easy, Interactions is all it takes!
. even with our amazing community and skin as thick as a rhino some of the above gets to me from time to time so keep that in mind always and show your creators some love!
If there is any creator that can vouch or if I've missed anything you know what to do!
Anyway I'll see yous tomorow LF!

Ps: if you're saying to yourself "where's this status came from Brad" well...i streamed Friday even though I had a migraine and ended with me being sick on stream and it's not the first time... so the last two days I've been relaxing and deep in thoughts at why I go live on days I shouldn't....
It's the will to succeed or fear of failing! 🤷♂️
