      [1] Going to go on kind of a longish Twitter rant now. Well, I guess it isn't really a rant as much as it is me discussing my stream and my thoughts on my history and future with it. It's nothing really important, but I have some stuff I want to think about & ask my viewers.

      [2] So, I'm going to let everyone here in on a secret. Well, it's not really a secret but I don't think I've ever explicitly stated this before. Since I was probably 10 years old, I've ALWAYS wanted to be a full-time YouTuber/streamer. It has been the loftiest dream I've had.

      [3] Sure, I had/have a concurrent dream to work in cyber security for the United States government. I have a passion for computers and IT work. I have since I can remember. But, alongside that, I've had a passion for streaming and doing YouTube. More so than most of you know.

      [4] Here's something none of you ever knew. Back when I was 12 years old, I had a different YouTube channel. I made Linerider videos where I'd create a track I thought was cool and played it back, pointing a digital camera at my monitor and playing music out of a CD player.

      [5] I didn't do this because I watched someone else on YouTube do it and I was inspired or anything. I did it because I used to play it at school and show all the other kids. They loved it, so I thought maybe others would too. That's when I realized my passion for entertaining.

      [6] As time went on, I continued making YouTube videos. I made videos on Halo 3. I remember making a video exploring a glitch that was rumored to give you Recon armor (which was, at the time, only for employees of Bungie). The video got over 100K views.

      [7] I began applying for partnership with YouTube when I was 12. I remember getting denied two or three times and having to wait 6 months to reapply. When I was 13, I was accepted in. I was a YouTube partner at age 13. I made a total of maybe $20, ever. But to me, it was huge.

      [8] I told friends and family members about it constantly, I was so proud of myself. I remember getting a check from YouTube a single time (I guess I made more than $20 overall). I was 13 still. I was a 13 year old kid who just got a check for $100 in the mail from YouTube.

      [11] At some point, the YouTube account of my childhood was banned because they began getting anal about copyright and all of my old Linerider videos had copyrighted music in them. It ended up being deleted. I'd give anything to watch any of those videos again. @TeamYouTube

          [12] Fast forward to 2012 when I was 15 years old. In December, I tried my first livestream. I had watched AGDQ VoDs and was inspired. I wanted to do my own charity stream. So I named myself GamesForCharity and streamed a normal playthrough of Windwaker for charity.

          [13] I told a lot of my IRL friends about it beforehand. I had it planned out a few weeks in advance. Keep in mind this was my first livestream EVER. I played the game for about 12 hours until I beat it. A few IRL friends stopped by during the stream and it was the best feeling.

          [14] I raised a total of somewhere around $20, but from people who weren't my IRL friends. Looking back, the fact I raised that amount on my first livestream EVER, and from people who I didn't personally invite to the stream; that's pretty incredible imo.

          [15] I absolutely loved the experience. So, I decided to do some more gaming livestreams on the account. I wanted to learn to speedrun, as Cosmo was my inspiration at the time. He was doing OoT then, so I learned that (Any%). Over time, I started getting a few viewers.

          [16] It was at this time I realized my username probably wasn't what I wanted forever. But it was too late in my eyes as I didn't want to lose the viewers I already had. This ended up being a good decision, because I eventually switched over to just GFC. Rolls off the tongue.

          [17] Sometime in early 2013, I saw someone named SSBMstuff had like 1K viewers playing a Yu-Gi-Oh game. I didn't understand what I was watching but for some reason I was mesmerized by the gameplay and commentary. I was bothered that I didn't understand it, so I set out to learn.

          [18] And we all know how that ended up. I messaged saboom and he let me into the FM Skype group. I played the game casually and then started joining races. I started growing exponentially. This was happening in mid 2013. By mid 2014, I was accepted as a Twitch Partner.

          [19] Time went on, and I began burning out with FM, taking a break from streaming for weeks or even months, then coming back and so on. Because of this (or because FM wasn't as popular), I lost a lot of my popularity. I didn't mind because the core community around me was so cool

          [22] And guess what? I still don't. Because of that, I don't get that much friendly interaction. This is why I love my chat. I don't consider you viewers, or fans. I consider you friends. FM was perfect for me because I could play the game AND hang out with chat, easily.

          [23] The bottom line is that I craved and still crave friendly human interaction, and through streaming I was able to get a steady stream of it. Take that reason and combine it with the other reasons I enjoyed streaming and you have yourself the perfect hobby for me.

          [24] However, FM left a lot to be desired after a while. I noticed that if I streamed ANYTHING else, even if it was a speedrun, I had no viewers. Like, none. I always envied those who got popular through a speedgame like Zelda.

          [25] If you gain your following through a game like that, you can speedrun many other things (and even casual play) and still retain a good portion of your audience. Because FM is a niche game. Leave the niche, lose the viewers. Zelda isn't niche. Many games resemble it.
