Oh my god I love this. I tell every one I load up how terrible they are and to give up now. I think I’ve discouraged about 250 so far!! What a wonderful project.

No, stop, you're misusing it. The purpose of this site is to build parasocial relationships with strangers online.

The danger with small streamers is you might accidentally develop a social relationship since they have nobody else to talk to!

FYI: muppetman’s profile says “don’t take me seriously”, so I think this is a joke?

really fun! already found an MLB stream, someone streaming Age of Empires 1 no talking and chat in emote mode, someone going absolutely crazy on a racing game I think multi-streaming with their audience primarily on YT. and now I'm on a BG3 playthrough I'm pretty sure.

Was it Wirtual? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C98AjMOklB4

While tone often portrays poorly over text, I think this is an example where the sarcasm is very overt. I don’t think anyone would think the comment is serious.

Great idea. One of my saddest projects was making a site to help Twitch streamers get sponsorship for playing games. You automatically got picked if your view count was high enough. I saw thousands of people streaming on Twitch by themselves for weeks with no viewers whatsoever. Surely many of them had families and partners, but I'm also sure many did not.

I used to live code on Twitch regularly with zero viewers and it didn't really bother me. It forced me to actively talk through my decision making processes just by streaming which slowed me down but was often useful. I'm not sure what the family/partners part is about, I certainly had both while streaming.

Does knowing that someone could be watching change your performance? I wonder if the "Live" status acts as a mental catalyst that you can't get by just talking to yourself offline.

I'm not sure about the framing from the title, it's like "find businesses which need your money the most" - not a great advertisement

Yeah, it makes it sound like your attention is given as an act of charity. A lot of online discourse tends to be very "creator-first" framed, rather than "audience-first".

Check out a cool real time feed of people discovering new streamers here: https://twitchroulette.net/discover And some neat global stats around twitch streams here: https://twitchroulette.net/stats

whats the other end of some of these? you showed which categories tend to have 0-1 viewers, what categories have the least? what categories have lowest average age of accounts with 10+ viewers etc. What should you do to stand out?
