A month of streaming every day. (well technically, in actuality I missed a couple days due to poor internet conditions) More than doubled my normal streaming amount per month. 93 hours in total. About as much as I physically could with a fulltime job without my life completely falling apart . It averaged out to about 3 hours streamed per day. This challenge was partly to see if my relative low number of hours streaming is the reason that my numbers have never really grown since I started streaming over half a year ago now.
Results? Numbers wise it was mixed. Average viewership was down slightly from my more normal 40 hours streamed a month, likely because more of the hours I streamed were on "bad" days of the week and less were on Friday Saturday and Sunday. If you squint really hard, there does seem to be a slight trend upwards with my viewership, but its not exactly obvious. Somehow I got worse numbers of people following my account during the month than most of my previous months. I cant really explain why that was exactly, maybe the quality of my content suffered.
On the positive, and not really reflected in stats, side. I did notice a huge growth in how much more I bonded with some of my followers, and many of these followers that very recently joined. There was a few that showed up almost every single stream. I guess you could call it growth in parasocial relationships. This resulted in streaming being much more fun for me, and the few times I was unable to stream due to internet problems made me genuinely sad. Somehow I don't think I am even close to burning out. I probably will keep a busier streaming schedule in the future because I enjoy it more now.
So what is my conclusion? In my case I don't think that my relative lack of streaming is why my numbers have remained so low over the time I have been streaming. Its almost certainly due to some other factors that I wont go into here, but anyway thanks for reading about my little experiment. I hope it was interesting or useful to somebody.
