I see more and more people mention this in my channel so I thought it would be a good idea to address this. Streaming does NOT mean you'll have big donations. [ THREAD ]

To say "wow that's a big donation, I should start streaming too" is pretty rude to say, building a community takes an incredible amount of work and time. Said community might not even have the funds to financially support. So it's never a guarantee.

I've been streaming on and off for almost 6 years. I was forced to make it (one of my 2) jobs because I am not allowed to find a job in Canada due to visa restrictions. Only last month have I become partnered. And I am definitely NOT rolling in cash

I never started streaming for the donations. I started because I loved playing games with an audience. It feels like people hanging out with you while you play games. Something I've done for decades with my best friend.

I've gotten incredibly lucky and blessed with the community I've managed to build (I don't even feel like I can take full credit, they found me and decided to stay
).
They're a bunch of kind hearted, open minded, supportive individuals.

But the bottom line is: To start streaming does not guarantee you'll: - make lots of money. - instantly have viewers. - see constant growth. + much more discouraging things. Before you start streaming, be sure you'll want to put all that in without the guarantee of success.

I always say, if you start streaming for money or fame, and don’t get it, you get frustrated and angry for wasting your time on it. If you start streaming for fun, you can’t go wrong with that ever. And money and fame comes as nice side bonus
