Hey Kafka, it is very difficult for any of us to help you better understand what your project because we've never seen you outside of a text forum. Twitch relies heavily on visual display (you gaming) and audio (your conversation with yourself, the game, the audience, etc). So despite knowing you for several years it is difficult to ascertain how you will be seen by others via a streaming video server since I've known you only through text on a messaging board.
Project yourself, even if you don't quite know what it is you project. My understanding of getting started in Twitch streaming, from hearing a few streamers explain it, is that you probably shouldn't worry about what audience to target -- just stream and have fun with it. Your audience kinda has to find you. Hop on camera, play some games, talk to people who show up. And most importantly: stream regularly, and stream often. Maintain a schedule. If you're entertaining (and lucky), you'll build up a small core audience. It sucks streaming to nobody, and it's hard streaming to perfect strangers, but eventually you'll have like 5 guys who show up regularly. Stream for them. Those 5 guys will slowly grow to become 10 or 20 guys. That's your community. Nurture it. With any luck it'll grow even further. 🤷
That's the general road map I've seen laid out anyway. Another option is to simply turn on your camera and make sure there's always some décolletage in frame.

I can't imagine 5 people talking to you regularly and you being even halfway nice to them with any consistency to get them to stick around, much less financially support you.
You're a very difficult person to like. A very frigid woman. I like you because I've cum to know you over a long period of time. BUt think how often r u mean to me, Kafka? How often r u mean to everyone?
Do you really think you could be nice to 1 person consistently? Much less a community of people for a prolonged period of time?
I watch twitch quite a bit, I like the Dark Souls games, Elden Ring, Resident Evil, Mario Maker 2, music streams, some IRL streams are cool. Video request/song request streams are good. You'd probably get more views playing the typical boring shit like fortnite and GTA RP but there are so many big streamers so unless you know someone its hard to get discovered. Let me know if you do and I'll follow you.
When I was 19 I had hundreds of people sending me death threats on FB. It isn't hard for me to get attention but the issue is I don't really like it. So I'm reluctant to stream but feel like if I'm going to be the target of obsessed communities (not this one because there's others) then I should at least be paid for it. I just said no one from here will have access to the channel.

Sorry I missed that part, I was going to offer to help you out but never mind. I mod for a couple channels and get rid of the dumb fucks that bug the streamer.
but there are no categories on youtube. Twitch is good if you stream painting or some shit but I often debate if I should stream minecraft on youtube or twitch because the server I play on is 50/50 split for streamers and usually in that case only the top big 1% of youtubers get 1000+ views while everyone on Twitch streams for years and never cracks 1000 views which makes me think the upper limit for growth on Twitch isn't as good but obviously people do make a living on there, it is possible but I think generally it would be easier to get started on Youtube unless it's an established Twitch community like GTA-RP

I don't want any contamination between this place and my real life. Thanks though. I was trying to figure out why you're name bugged me and it was because I had a cheeseburger obsession. A cheeseburger was my profile pic for a long time.
