I’d say it’s harder to get big as just a streamer. Mainly just because twitches recommended system is terrible. If not non existent. Ya gotta have a mix.

I’ve been streaming since 2015 and almost at 900. It is for sure a grind but I’m not stopping. I have a story to tell when I’m on top!

Be a youtuber before streaming bc that way you have a built in audience.

Streaming is 100% more difficult once you start streaming you realize how entertaining you actually are without post editing I say build an audience on KZfaq then bring them to twitch

You can literally just play a game and stream it vs playing the same game for the same amount of time but spending 8 to 10 hours editing it a good way

Everything is a grind and the important part is ensuring you don't give up on any dream you have.

I think it depends on content that you do. Best advice is do something that you enjoy watching and get inspiration on it. There os no need to get complicated about other stuff like editing, software etc. Just upload content that you are willing to share and you know everyone can enjoy. Treat it like something that you can share to a family member or friends. And if it goes viral, then you have idea and foundation to build up your channel. Regardless if you stream and posting yt videos.

I'm a new streamer. Definitely a lot involved in streaming. To upload a video a week on YT I can do the editing anytime in the week from footage but with streaming you have to YT and keep to your live schedule. its wild sometimes. Let alone handling all the plugins and socials on top.

Everything is hard we just have to choose oure hard

I’d probably go streamer here as coming from experience it can be difficult to be able to do things like count sub count or any of that stuff especially if you stream on console also for small streamers it’s harder be able to manage school/work having a nice life for example spending time with family and streaming 5+ hours a day this is my opinion if you don’t agree I apologize please don’t hate

Most relatable media I've ever watched, great inspiration. Love you man for that

Twitch is prob harder, u have to be on all the time, it’s not like u can edit what u do or say out, so u always have to keep it in the back of ur mind. Yt on the other hand if ur recording n u say sum fucked up shit u can edit it out. Just my opinion btw

Depends entirely on the content. Some youtube channels makes insane contents that requires many hours or days just to produce. Production value in terms of recording a video, for me, is a lot harder than to sit on a stream and entertain your audience live, as you have feedbacks to rely on. But for youtube videos, you don't have that, you can only know if it's good or bad, after you finish producing, which could either be worth it, or perform very poorly. Yeah sure, you can take breaks, but that's only if you already have a very enstablished viewerbase, which will ultimately wait for your videos, as thay's normally how youtube ecosystem works. I get that it's also hard to maintain viewership as a streamer, let alone, raising it. But in term of production and all, being a youtuber will probably take more from you. Although, I highly doubt it's that much difference overall in general, because there's pros an cons for both, and it depends entirely on you for which you can manage better.

Beautiful video. I thought it was a joke because of the title, but instead it was a serious, honest take on the feeling of starting out with no following yet putting in all this endless effort. Thanks for making this. I guess i gotta stream until mr beast sees me LOL.

I genuinely prefer streaming, but that’s just because I hate editing, I don’t really care if I get big while streaming, but I’d love to get up to 1000 average views per stream in like a year or two

both are difficult to make it far but if you are only doing one of them twitch is miles harder there isn’t anyway for people to find your streams unless they are scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page but if you do both your streams are your footage then you just edit the parts you want and the youtube can help boost your twitch

streaming is way harder to get big in. youtube you can get lucky and have 1 video just pop tf off to start your career. streaming you don't just have 1 stream just pop off. as for the content aspect, youtube is way harder if you're doing it solo. all the editing and post-production stuff you need to do in order to make it appealing to the average viewer is much harder than hitting the go live button and just sending it.

depends. If you can think fast. Stream. If you like setting things up. Make videos. That's a generalization but there's alot of factors into it. In the end "Effort x 1(undefined luck) = benefits."

Glad your growing day by day!! I hope to get big on streaming like you one day..

i just started streaming a couple weeks ago and it seems impossible to grow, it seems like in order to get noticed you already have to be popular.

I do it all and still barely get followers other than tik Tok and shorts. I guess I need better video editing and planning. After a few years it's exhausting.

I saw Jerma chillin w Ludwig. Best streamer duo.

KZfaqrs: - Film content (vlog, games, review, reaction, challenge, news update etc.) - Edit in or out moments you want: make it monetizable - Edit how long you want the video to be - Able to choose music before uploading: use non copyright music or you have rights to - demonetized video can be re-edited and reuploaded - Can only block troll comments: Blacklist certain words or phrases in comments - Could hire Camera crew, editor, manager, etc. Twitch streamers: - Livestreams (Just Chatting, Games, Podcast, ASMR, etc.) - Livestream however long you want/can stay up - Pay attention to chat and donations - Constantly have to think before speaking - Unable to control “sudden moments” - Watch out for copyright music: mute stream - End stream before being taken down - Able to ban obnoxious viewers - Hire Moderators Similarities: - Same rules and guidelines - 3 strikes, You’re out! - Will try to take down ban creator’s alt acc’s - Sponsors and Ads: use premium to get rid of ads - Viewers, subscribers and donators - Hire people for extra help

I do both, which in my opinion is the best because then your followers from KZfaq, Tiktok etc. Can come over to your Twitch

That's why u hire editors and thumbmakers to make the hard part for u ez clap stonks

I have that same Zara shirt jacket lol

I like that you didnt just steal the clip you put some good edits and showed the original creators @ big respect

i was hoping he was gonny cry

Dunno most streameres I know are mostly reaction content and honestly I don't see the appeal for nost of them, some do put the work but leaving those and the amurath types aside I don't know any other types of streamers.

Im literally just starting out my anxiety is bad because i just wanna be a good streamer and just to make good videos. Like i dont wanna be perfect at all, just wanna do what i love i just wanna show myself off ya know. 😂

Bro it’s Grant!!!! Garnt, pls don’t hurt me

When you do both 💀😭👍🏻

They’re both hard. KZfaq you have to edit; making thumbnail, come up with the idea and all that crap before dropping the video. Twitch is easy in the sense you just go live but you do it for hours and for most people it’s to 0-3 viewers. I basically streamed on twitch for 7 years for Pennies to the dollar.

It’s more like different for everybody not one is better than the other it just depends on your personality and what you do and how you go about it

KZfaq is way harder, streamers sit and play a game for a few hours, KZfaqrs gotta record the game (may take a few hours) then they have to edit (by default takes longer than the video took to record) then they have to upload the video which can also take forever. KZfaq is way more time consuming and challenging.

It's hard to be a streamer because you typically have to compete with cheaters and cornballs

KZfaq for the introverts Twitch for the extroverts.

Streaming is hard for sure i rather upload videos most of the time

People put more effort into KZfaq. There's no reason a similar production value can't cone to streaming, instead it's just a bloke playing games

People will say twitch is harder because the grind there is visible, you don't see the hours upon hours of editing that people do for KZfaq

As someone whos been trying to stream over 12 hours a day yeah social media is the hardest part for me its alot less fun

100% harder to be a youtuber

Probably depends on the type of person you are. KZfaq is more for people that like being able to edit and be very deliberate with what they share. Twitch is for folks that just wanna vibe and don't care too much about putting themselves out there 100%. Both are cool in their own way.

I respect youtubers but I think a good twitch streamer regardless of how many followers they have ,they works really hard .

Personally, streaming is harder for me, because my schedule isn't consistent, but I can make uploads pretty consistent throughout the week. Streaming is so horrible difficult to get an audience.

I just started streaming and idk weither or not I should record videos and post them instead of just doing streams on twitch.

I find it easier to be a streamer than a youtuber, i dont even post on youtube at all, i just started twitch like a week ago and already have 13 followers, So far i just enjoy twitch more than youtube

Well, its all came down to talent. Some people has talent for making good video, while some people has talent in making impromptu entertainmen, and neither one is straight up harder than the other

Scarra could survive a car crash

Live streaming good content is much harder than edited videos imo

Actually both are easy when u are at the top... if you are big u open ur stream any time, do anything, and thousands will watch u, donate, etc... the hardest part on youtube is editing the video itself, but when u are big and make a good income already, u can just hire editors, thumbmakers, etc to make the hard part for u... but I agree that being entertaining for hours on a stream everyday is hard... but if u are xqc for example is easy u can just chill watch videos and play without saying a word If u don't want and millions of dollars will be in ur bank account 😅

I really dislike that this is even a conversation and a distraction from young people having traditional career ambitions. I understand why it's a conversation, but for me, the majority of people who are successful Streamers and KZfaqrs are talented enough to win auditions to work in TV or Film. They just choose to Stream or post to KZfaq because they make more money that way of course. We have a society of young people who think almost any of them can be successful at streaming or post to KZfaq and that is simply not the case.

i need help to become a better yter, plus i only have my phone for doing my whole yt channel and i don’t have any source of income due to being denied from 7 job places

What’s the metric for “good” in this context?

KZfaqrs DID IT FIRST…. respect where was created

Will I'm small channel on KZfaq but I love to entertainment people

Streaming is way harder is literally live you can’t fuck up and retake the shot 😂

the hard part is trying to actually be a good entertaining streamer for hours while there's only 2 people watching (wich is yourself and 1 bot) and making 0 income or progress 😕😕

How do I start?

Let’s be honest here. Top streamers employ people to do their socials… so it’s not a grind

KZfaqr is pretty simple. All it really takes is uploading every single day. Thats it.

I wish i can grow my channel so I cab put more effort into it without thinking it's a waste of time 😮‍💨

yes its hard but i can do it

Nah. It's far more difficult to be a streamer.

Harder , most of them just watch KZfaq video of good content produce by someone hard working then get all of the donation. 🗿🗿

Dont stream. The success rate is so poor I wonder why its not called a pyramid scheme.

bohoo such a struggle...such a hard life, i am crying right now 😥

I'll never make it streaming, people hate me too much. Fuck, I hate myself even more.

Right now the #1 twitch is jinxy hes on fire. 40k plus viewers each time he goes live. ❤❤Lugwid who?

I start streaming last week am at 142 followers it take time

so streaming is harder than being a youtuber and the difficult part is your socials like youtube?

I gotta come out in a bikini as a male to get front page right? EZ

yeah...

the biggest gatekeeper ever

I mean you’re a person so you’ll use social media more than likely regardless you you weren’t KZfaq famous or streamer imo

Working class Streamers and KZfaqrs are a thing now .? I think the lamest “creators “ are the ones that need to do the most , they kinda have to just to stay relevant . 💅

Yes KZfaq is better 😮

❤

Idk man. It is soooo draining being a streamer. Reason being is you don’t grow on twitch without grinding your bum off on every platform to bring in viewers and THEN have to entertain people on live feed and not have any issues with quality, you have to keep talking, you have to have incentives. Nice thing about KZfaq is you can make cuts. I love sitting back after streams and making the cuts in stream vods cuz it’s so much easier. KZfaq you can also add memes and editing to make your content more interesting whereas your streams are live and entertainment depends on if the streamer is.. entertaining. And for girls if you don’t show your body and use it for views you have to work that much harder cuz ppl who want to want gameplay go to men and the ones there to watch females go to the stripped ones. You have to work hard to find genuine people and build a genuine audience. Oh and if you’re not single you’re screwed cuz everyone wants to date you man or woman. Though I’ve heard it’s not really an issue with guys but idk just trying to be equal about things.

first world problems

I WILL blow up and take over on twitch. I speak it into existence and believe. God bless all of you 💫🙏😊

hi brother i want a job please help me i am in financial trouble

love me please

No offense to any of these guys but I have no idea who any of these guys are. Makes me think of those youtubers or twitch streamers that have millions of followers/subscribers and can't even get 5k live views on their streams. The only one I've been able to see get 200k views consistently is Dr.Disrespect. Though I haven't seen his streams in a while. So I'll check back and see.

it must be hard for that guy to be skinny cuz damn bro looks like asian peter griffin

Neuro surgeon would be 2 life harder if you guys consider REAL actual job that need skill and obviously the word that is not really common these days ‘SCHOOL’
