Do a lot of programmers feel like they could be effective on a livestream? I might be in a minority, but my preferred coding style is very non-linear and sporadic, and wouldn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience.

Especially if you have one specific topic and if viewers ask questions.
But yeah, it's a bit hard if streamers don't follow a red line and if they talk in a language that they don't command well.
YouTube is full of awesome content from Chinese and Indian people who talk very bad English, so they probably would have been done better with text.

I'm now at a point where it feels weird coding without saying my thoughts out loud or writing them down on paper. Like I don't know how to think unless there's some output.
And when watchers highlight a bug or tell me techniques to try that I haven't thought of, amazing.
I need to make better use of scenes and staging screens like OP is doing. My streams are significantly under produced right now.

I've never done it, but I've toyed with the idea for one primary reason: accountability. I might just ignore the viewers, or maybe I'd interact and gain some insight about the problem at hand. Either way, just knowing that someone is watching and expecting me to do something (preferably on a schedule) would be a good motivator to actually do it.
(I have done some speedrunning livestreams, but not coding. Well, not in a Twitch setting anyway, I've done talks with lots of live coding and really enjoyed it.)

I would imagine most big streamers (let’s say 10K+) would enjoy a smaller community more than a larger one - if they could make the same amount of $$$.
Personally I like it more than OBS because all the integrated stuff inside the client, it's just a better fork really.
