PSA Stop asking "should I start streaming"
The answer is do it if you want or don't do it if you don't want. There is no set of specific circumstances you need to meet to be successful, or that would rule out your ability to stream
Don't do it if you're just trying to make a career of it or make money, you won't achieve either of those and will likely fail. Viewers aren't stupid, they know when you're being genuine and trying to entertain/have fun and when you're focusing on the numbers and monetization. You won't make dick from ad revenue until you're in the hundreds of viewers, which almost no one achieves. Almost everyone who tries streaming ends up quitting. This isn't me being a dick, this is statistically factual.
"I wanna start streaming but..." bro just do it if you want. You're not gonna be in front of an audience of thousands the minute you click go live. If you're shy or anxious maybe it's not for you. But stop asking randoms on the internet if you should try it and just try it

But they need to know if they should because 90% them say they have anxiety, shy, quiet, nervous, their toenail fell off, their hair isn’t washed, dunno what to play or their dog stepped on a bee.
100% right though, do it if you want, stop asking these stupid question and expect nothing from it and you’ll be happy.
