I used to do some liveTL for holos but stopped and the reason why is basically a combination of these

You barely get to digest and enjoy the stream you are constantly just typing typing typing and not just translating (which already takes effort) but trying to predict what's going to be said next so you can structure your sentences in a way that makes sense. Both because japanese sentence structure is quite different from english and because you will inevitably have to drop some things here and there and it is very easy to lose the entire thread of conversation if you drop some small thing that they then tangent onto for a while out of nowhere.
And then on the flip side it just feels like no one really cares for it that much anymore? I will say the part about not getting thanked or recognized is not true, the fanbase definitely recognizes you unless you just did a single stream one time, and sometimes the streamer will thank you too, although that was more common when holo was smaller and the chats a little bit slower. But with holoEN growing and growing it did sort of feel like the audience that stuck around as more dedicated fans often already knew a little japanese, or even if not there just weren't that many of them.
So in the end I just decided I would rather prioritize my own enjoyment of the stream over a shrinking group of people who didn't really need it that much anyways. plus, the attitude of some of the EN fanbases of JP members started to annoy me but that's too much to get into.
As a random aside that I will probably get laughed at for (because it involves the dreaded discord), many of the talents have the youtube chat liveTLs automatically relayed to their stream server/channel. or the ones who still have active TLers it's often so spammy that it makes the channel near unusable, it's very annoying
