>>14549001>A lot of my friends who started at the same time have since passed me really farI know the feeling. I have a few people I think of as my "genmates", even though we're all indy. We all started at around the same time, and sort of know each other. Some are L2D, some are high-end vroids, some are super low-effort vroids, some are pngs. I haven't told them I view them as genmates, because that would be weird. But I check them out now and again, to see where they improved, and is it something I can do? Where do they fall flat, can I correct that in my own?
It was kind of disheartening, to see some of them shoot off and hit 15 CCV really quickly (one reliably hits 30 when doing art, but arts half the time now), whilst I languish in the ~8 on a good day. I started checking the data on Twitchtracker/Sully
The BIGGEST two correlations I've seen between CCV and anything is stream length, and friends/simps.
Sure, being funny and interesting is a huge boost. So is being female, so is being lewd (regardless of male/female/nb for some reason), and so is having a better model.
But for each of the seven of us, the more hours each stream is, the more viewers, followers, and everything else comes with it.
Secondly, friends.
I know I'm fitting in the stereotype of 'NORMIES GET OUT REEEE', but the super-extroverted, charismatic people who chill in voice chats all day, unsurprisingly, see more growth. They get raids more (check the stats in sully to see when raids hit, it's often noticable). They also retain friends more: I found a new vtuber, he was kind of cool, had good stage presence, but didn't advertise much. Helped him get set up, walk through some of the things in OBS, and then didn't chat frequently. He now doesn't speak to me at all, and organizes collabs, with other people.
Maybe I'm just weird, and it creeped them out. But I know socializing is something I need to work out (auty), I just... don't
