>stream old game with no interest>have 2 modbot viewers, 0 real viewers>eventually a real viewer comes in>you act weird and it scares them offThen, after you get the hang of streaming for awhile
>you stream a fotm game with active interest >get 7+ viewers coming into your stream to check out new fotm game>they interact with you a lot and ask you about game>this causes them to buy the game>they ask to play with you>you add them on discord/steam and then start playing together>after the stream is over, they continue to keep talking to you>every time you want to stream by yourself, they want to come join you on stream>other people also want to join because they think this is an open advertisement>your chill time playing games on stream has turned into everyone else's parasocial gathering hub where they want to play with you>you can't turn them down on stream without looking like an asshole>you start losing interest in streaming because it's become about babysitting people who are overly attention starved This happens to most 2 views, streaming is inherently parasocial, it's not simply entertainment to a large portion of people, they want a friend simulator
