What do small streamers think of Silent followers?

Question

For small streamers, like myself how do you feel about followers who don’t chat? I’ve just started streaming. I always try to chat even if no one is watching when I get a follow I ask sort of the usual how you doing? Normally they respond back or drop a hi in chat and a conversation begins. I’ve gotten a couple of followers where they don’t talk in chat. Sometimes makes me feel like it cause I’m not chatty enough or they don’t like the vibe, so to speak. I also don’t mind cause I lurk to 😂 , just wondering what you all think.

Any find themselves talking to themselves while gaming now, even while not on stream?

Discussion

Streamed as normal. Got off stream, but kept playing my streaming game, and I'm just talking to myself, when literally no ones listening. I feel mental lmao

Lurking

Discussion

If you are lurking in a stream, for whatever reason, and the streamer greets you by your username or has a bot that does it * before you can even say “hello” *, what do you personally do?

Edit: So it’s clear, I do not call out lurkers. Edit 2: *

Anyone else not really motivated to become a big streamer?

Discussion

I average somewhere around 3-6 viewers every stream and tbh I really like it and don't feel that motivated to do the things people tell you to do to grow your audience. I have my super diehard regulars who are great to me and almost NEVER anyone rude or annoying in the chat. I've had to get rid of one person in chat EVER.

Plus the couple times I've gotten raided by groups of 15 or more I start getting flustered and feel like I need to adapt my stream to keep them interested. Whereas when it's just me and my regs I feel like I'm free to do whatever I want and just hang out with them.

I came into streaming with the philosophy of always framing it as a hobby, never a potential avenue for a job, and I like keeping that pressure off.

But from the outside it looks like I'm doing everything "wrong" that people say you should do. I have a super sporadic schedule, my setup is cheap af, I play random games every time, and I fumble constantly trying to fix things live. I still barely know how to work OBS and Discord.

But I'm happy! I feel like if I try any harder I'll just lose all passion for it, and as it stands it's one of my favorite hobbies I've ever had and brings me sooo much joy every time.

Anyone else feel the same?
