when i streamed quake champions every night for a few weeks just as the beta NDA lifted, i had a total of 3 random viewers, two of whom never talked in chat in any way (i think one was my mom or something), and one of whom was just some horny on main dude who PM'd me dick pics with no warning and wouldn't shut up about all the stuff he was fantasizing about doing to me.
haven't tried it since. i wanted to try to teach newbies how to play better but even tho i'm pretty decent at quake, i'm not rapha, and he streams a lot so i think that niche is filled. i don't have the right temperament for it.
yeh he sucks but i think doing streaming is just Like That. there's a neverending procession of jerks on the internet so even if you get one person to stop it'll just keep happening anyway... i'm sure that's not news to you lol
The Twitch streamers who spend years broadcasting to no one
