>>29920241>trying to be entertaining without leaving too much dead air is hard enoughSounds like you're overthinking it and driving yourself nuts by trying too hard.
>you also have to come up with content all the time To be fair, independent streamers stream whenever and however often they want. Also, the content treadmill is a trap. The quicker you burn through content, the less content you'll have left later on. Pacing is important.
>and catching up with rushing rows of chatAgain, sounds like the issue is being neurotic and not setting reasonable expectations. A single person can only pay attention to so much, and constantly chaffing against one's limits is a recipe for stress.
>Not to mention you also have to be careful when to stream to avoid yab and overlap popular onesPeople will always find something to complain about. I don't think chubas should be twisting themselves into pretzels to accommodate other chubas. Rather, I think a healthy, respectful and friendly sense of rivalry is better. Chubas should just stream when they feel up to it.
>the pressure jesusEverything you mentioned is largely self inflicted, the result of expecting too much from oneself. That's not to say those things don't matter, but they don't matter so much that they're worth having a menhera breakdown over. Aspiration is good, so long as it doesn't devolve into obsession.
