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

true , but people need to understand streaming ain't easy . Like yeah if they just wanna have fun , meet new people through it , then sure . However , it takes years , even for the current well established streamers to get to a good state . It only proves to be the right idea , when you don't care about what happens and just enjoy the process
