>>65116666Yeah, that's true when you're in a vacuum of silence or your preferred music and can focus. But when streaming, you have to try to maintain something approximating that flow state while also entertaining a crowd of people and reacting to them, your voice is tired and scratchy, your back hurts, you're getting hungry, you're hot as fuck from your computer throwing heat, you're stuck trying to troubleshoot your code or art, you need to maintain social graces, etc, etc. The only one of those that's hard to begin with (aside from the second skill like art or coding) is being consistently entertaining, but they all compound on each other very quickly to become a death by a thousand cuts. It's fundamentally not the same thing, because the entertainment is what takes priority in that setting.
There's a reason that streamers who've already gotten big start to coast on react content where they just add a "heh" or "yo, that's crazy" every 30 seconds, but nobody makes it big in the first place by doing that.
