How does one hit the video game streamer lottery as a male...

this shit writes itself

sounds like a pornhub original series

That sounds like a bad porno

That sounds like a good porno

Have an entertaining personality and then stream with an actual celebrity.

>that look of existential terror on his face

>doesnt put mic near mouth, has that shit at the top of his head
nigger tier streamers do this. close the stream if you see this shit

Is it possible to play the same game for hours on end every single day while constantly shilling shitty products with the hum of a sponsored mini fridge filling the air living a life that is essentially an even more boring Truman Show where you are just a clown for thousands of people and still be happy? Asking for a friend.

Mostly luck with a dash of motor mouth and half-competency at the video game.
I'd add in personality too but Ninja has no fuckin personality so I guess that's out the window.

>pornmind

nice, just make sure to post it on pornhub when you are finished with it

memeability, kids have to like you, also you really really have to pick the right game. like if some random nobody tries to become a bigtime CSGO streamer, just not gonna work out, because every big CSGO streamer is a professional player or player good enough to be in the pro scene. No one cares about memes in that game, so its all about skill level.

Theres a certain time frame of a game where you if you get in at the right time and get lucky you will become a successful streamer. Like Ninja was just a random Halo nerd until PUBG became huge

This, plus using multiple computers/phones/ buying viewers to have at least 10 or so viewers.

>make your own hours
>can start or quit your stream at any time of the day
>make absurd amounts of money
cant be any worse than being a stock clerk in a grocery store or another shitty wageslave job like that

>be good at what you're playing
>have a schedule
>stay in tune with your audience, never go go against them
>some luck

xQc is the most interesting, went from a 4k viewer overwatch nerd to 10-20k viewers. All because Blizzard and community kept shitting on him for being "toxic" but then when they banned him, he just exploded in popularity

Being a video game streamer could be considered as the same as being a prostitute.

I've seen streamers that seem to legit enjoy streaming, but they're mostly smaller ones. Most of the big ones though seem to treat it like just a job, I know some of them are actually miserable for it.

What charisma does Ninja have? He seems like an absolutely generic guy to me.

I'm erect already.

hes loud, and talks fast, and has "scandals" where he gets really toxic at people in games, kids seem to like that. hes the logan paul of video game streamers

I'd watch that porn

Karma: clips.twitch.tv/AmericanPricklyBaguetteSeemsGood

>be decently entertaining which means autistic
>bait reddit fags with staged clips
>be one of the first to play the most recent popular game

These 3 seem to be pretty much the core reasons how most people made it.
Or just stream snipe popular streamers in a more interesting way than sound spamming aka. be a leech.

Cut that streaming shit. Play for a bit, curate for the best bits, then put it on-demand. Nothing good comes from streaming

You need to sell your soul and talk about drama non-stop. The real talent is playing the raw game but kids don't care about that, they just want to see some dude screaming like a little girl.

There is the fifth option of people who were already streaming before it was cool

Kids have a low attention span so they want someone whose loud and always doing shit to get their attention.
Tbh it’s a fucking skill if someone can do that for 4 hours straight daily.

Don't listen to anyone in this thread.

The only actual way you can make it at this point is leech from another popular streamer.

I don't know how this cunt does it, i thought he was toast after the rick and morty thing when everyone realised he was boring.

i cant watch streams, i have a 76.8 KB/s connection. wish i was joking on that speed
just noticed that every time some tard posts a gaymeer youtuber or gaymeer streamer its always always always the same retarded shit, like they dont know what in the world the MIC is for so they put that shit at the top of their heads

I would but I don't know about shilling for him on fucking Yea Forums.
You might know him from DSP's stream, though.

Streaming would be cool if you are one of the big shots making shit tons of dosh. If you're just making ok money though it seems like it would be soul crushing after awhile.

just b urself of course thats what everyboday else does

I wouldn't know. I tried streaming once for like 6 hours but my viewers never went past 3 & nobody ever said anything in the chat. I think it's because I didn't have my mic on, but if nobody's gonna talk then there's no reason for me to talk to myself which created a boredom loop.

Be lucky.

Every big entertainer youve ever seen has been either lucky or had a shit ton of connections

I don't think William Defoe streams, but if he does, I could easily see him being better then that faggot you posted earlier.

You need a specific mentality / personality for i suppose. Northernlion mentioned he basically had a notebook where he wrote 'bits' and would pivot into them during the show.

I never thought I'd have respect for the original Shiny Ponyta guy. This faggot makes the original guy look like an alpha male.

change it to "two brothers, one couch" and i might watch

Speaking of streaming, isn't it basically impossible to stream on youtube? Every time I do it I notice my view half the next day on my gaming videos. I think it's because if people don't click the youtube stream, youtube sends a signal saying "nobody clicked on this video, stop recommending this guy's other videos" because streams count as regular videos now or some shit. In any case I don't stream on youtube anymore. It literally almost killed my hobby channel. Anyone else experience the same thing? I immediately see my views tank the next day after a stream. There has to be a link.

His vid on how shit goes viral was interesting. Specifically when he talked about how Mr. Beast saw his proposed title for the viral video and was like "nah, say this instead." Mr. Beast might make trash content, but he knows how to get people to watch.

Nope skill has nothing to do with streaming

He's Final Fantasy XI's best chance of becoming popular again if they ever release a classic version.

Wrong. If you can shit on everybody in at least semi-popular game, you will eventually get viewers even if you have nonexistent charisma as long as you talk. That won't easily lead you to thousands of viewers, but guarantees at least hundreds.

Ninjas audience are children while the people watching that stream are manchildren.

People say "dude fuck streamers it's so easy they just get paid for playing video games", but most of you would probably never be willing to do the things you have to do to actually achieve that level of success.
>Pick a super-popular trending game

>Suck the dick of other people who stream that game so they give you shoutouts. In turn you must give shoutouts to people who suck your dick.
>Unless you're incredible at the game, you must give up all dignity and constantly shout and act retarded so that kids will find you funny. This also requires at least some natural charisma and a sense of humour, you can't just rage and whine.

Like anything, it’s luck based. People clicky the top guy. A good technique would be to play the system to help you. Like get bots to raise your viewcount etc.

play a norf fc fan character and stream FIFA and F1

Porn name aside, it's a cute concept, probably because it touches on the same nostalgic feeling I get playing vidya with my younger brother. Could do a challenge day where you both try to complete a game in one sitting on the same controller. Sounds comfy.

Somehow sounds less pornlike even though the name is a direct reference to a porno.

Have you considered that they could be using an actual high quality mic instead of the cheap shit grafted onto their sponsored GAM3R headphones?

You were unengaging, so nobody engaged.

he is rich enough to be able to have all of those. he makes enough in one month than i will ever be able to put into my 401k. he doesnt have to work another day for the rest of his life, depending on where he wanted to live, as well as it wasnt in super duper luxury. if he ever girl, which with his looks he probably can easily despite his nerdy hobby, she might just try to take all his money

Yeah, I couldn't do it. As a chef it's like giving everything up and working at McDonalds.

Make a stream where you teach cat lady's how to cook. Be an ass and claim its a Gordon Ramsey act if you get called out. Don't suck up for shit because "I'M MAKING ART HERE" get creative with it.

If I could make dosh this easy I'd sperg out all the time too if it made kids pay me.
I have no charisma sadly.

there must be streamers who swim against the current and are successful right? If not why didn't Yea Forums try to infiltrate twitch just as every single normalfag infiltrated Yea Forums?

why does this fake hype do so well with viewers? i feel like even when i was young i was pretty cynical and probably would have called this guy a flaming faggot. what happened bros?

This 40 year old housewife made 450 million dollars by just crossing out a couple of numbers on a sheet of paper. Here's how she did it.

>If not why didn't Yea Forums try to infiltrate twitch just as every single normalfag infiltrated Yea Forums?
Because Twitch will nuke your channel if you do anything they don't like. Unless you're an unbelievably massive channel, you could get your channel terminated over a edgy joke.

Hell only pewdiepie was able to say nigger and still keep his fame

It's probably because he has a desktop mic offscreen. Still a retard for buying a headset instead of headphones though.

Nobody watches cooking streams. I do sometimes, and they can be comfy, but only because I'm off work right now with a fractured knee and it makes me feel relaxed. Otherwise I'd love to do random streams/videos on fermentation and improvising in the kitchen. I feel like most channels are too hung up on the idea of recipes and not actually demonstrating how to build a pantry and cook off the cuff. Would be a fun project I guess.

How would you invest such huge amounts of money smartly to never ever work in your life and have huge monthly "salary"?

I will say, streaming does seem to be hard, at least starting out

what the actual fuck? this is even worse than i was expecting

With the sheer amount of money Ninja is making you wouldn't even need to invest it, just not fucking spend it left and right. If he lives within his means and only pays for his rent/morgage, for food, and other necessities he's still saving literal millions a year

>With the sheer amount of money Ninja is making you wouldn't even need to invest it, just not fucking spend it left and right
As if it never happened before, retards waste insane amount of money from inheritance and live as poorfags after that.

Why is there a clip of a congress hearing on fucking Twitch of all places?

That doesn't happen, show me one example.
Rich people stay rich and you only say that they waste their money and become poor to cope with being a poor person yourself.

Why exactly are ittle kids so fucking attached for Fortnite that they watch someone else play it? I get actually playing it since it's free, but why do they watch it? and what draws them to Ninja specifically? It certainly isn't his personality, the one time he played anythng other than Fortnite he couldn't even break a thousand

well there are 2 major things you need
high speed internet(with no actual caps)
a pc that can run anything from 720-1080p and stream it at the same time

Audience engagement seems to be the one factor all good streamers share.
Whether it's talking with the chat.
Calling your audience bros or some other kind of nickname.
Or just constantly making references to your fans when you speak.
Also consistent streaming with the occasional drama thrown in.

I wouldn't do it because I don't want to be famous in that way plus I think it isn't moral to encourage parasocial bullshit on kids.

Watching the news, series and movies with Twitch chat is the future.
Pog EZ Clap

Anyone ever notice that like the vast majority if not ALL of the very very successful ones are white boys?

Drake Bell is a pretty good example. In his highest paid year he made 500k, and like a retard assumed that's how much he'd make every year and bought a several million dollar mansion, that he later had to sell at a loss to try and pay off his massive debt

Gotta give him credit, if he plays smart and invests his money right, dude could retire in 10-15 years

Sure. Usually middle class too, just like the audience.
You have to be the 1st world kind of lonely to enjoy streamers.
Black kids deal with it by joining gangs and white kids deal with it by paying people to say their name on stream.
It's all sad to me

You only have to do that if you want to be making millions, if you just want to not have to actually work you don't need to do most of this

why the fuck do rich people automatically get mansions
as if there's some unspoken law that you have to get mansions when you get rich
or maybe it's just that people's IQs suddenly drop to single digits when they get rich, or only single digit IQs become rich for some cursed reason
why the fuck would anyone even want to live in a gigantic expensive house that makes regular living more difficult and requires tons of maintenance and risks huge debts
what does that even give a person when you could spend the money on things substantial to one's life like creative pursuits

It's just a status thing. What proves to everyone that you're rich and successful? You live in a fucking mansion.

Honestly if you live alone or just with one person you don't need a big ass mansion, a simple two story house would be enough for you to have a couple bedrooms, a game room, home gym, ect

>home gym
As a semi-rich guy i can assure you THIS is the best way to spend your money. Its like the first thing you should do even if you have only enough money for an apartment, fucking tear off a room and create your own home gym.

anyone who buys a mansion for the figment of "status" is legitimately an absolute fucking retard
it's a complete waste of money that only makes life more difficult, even if you had an entire family

Look for startup companies with passionate and talented people and throw your money down the drain.

>As a semi-rich guy

zoomers are legitimately retarded because they've grown up with people like this. They genuinely don't have a concept of what being genuine is. They're so indoctrinated in the hype culture that it's all they know.
It's actually over. They don't know what being true to ones self is, they have no concept of selling out, they think filming yourself giving money to homeless people is charitable, they're absolute retards.

Everyone is a faker anyways

>Played apex for free exclusively the first week or two it came out because it was fun

Streamers can do no wrong.
I remember watching a stream where Lirik decided to quit for the day due to a ‘toxic chat’ and they kept blaming themselves instead of Lirik.

That's not an option anymore, so it didn't make the list.

pewdiepie and every retard who supports him killed any sort of intelligence in the streaming/youtube gaming community

That image is a reasonable position explained absolutely terribly. It's almost hilarious.

This, you could get a far better and more marketable skill with this much dedication everyday, a skill that will likely last and define you for life

unironically suggest you two to stream porn games.

Literally become a landlord.

Kids think the idea of "pro gamers" is the absolute unassailable peak of coolness. Think soccer fans idolising Messi.

This. Maybe you could buy 1 and still owe some debt to the bank but definitely not 2

At that point you don't even need to invest smartly, just buy an apartment every 2-3 months and pocket the rest.

YO BRAH I AGREE STREAMERS ARE SHIT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THAT I GIVE MONEY TOO YAHH

Well didn't Yea Forums thought about making other communities controversial by fake accounts and VPN? Like you could make edgy jokes and edgy phrases a norm and after Twitch going on ban rampage they will finally realize they can't ban someone because the community is "toxic". After that you proceed to infiltrate twitch with streamers from Yea Forums.

MOBA pros like dendi and faker.

Most games with a pro circuit have laddered matchmaking. They might seem worse because they're playing against opponents of higher caliber as opposed to pubstomping lowbies.

Yeah, you don't need a whole big house. Seems like a waste to me. A lot of upkeep I don't want to deal with.

My brother and I earn a combined 120K a year and we live in a modest 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. We invest most of our money. It's a good thing that materialism never really appealed to either of us.

This. I actually end up learning things from these so-called haters, then promptly forget. For hating streamers, they sure seem to know a lot.

I know jack shit about streamers. I wasn't even aware who projared was until Yea Forums spammed the catalog with threads. I might even go as far as to say that I don't even have a twitch account.

The haters usually turn out to be the biggest fans/stalkers on any medium. No big surprise.

And then get fucked by Youtube. It's a lose-lose, streaming isn't a bad option, you can always archive clips of the good shit

For every successful streamer there's tens of thousands of people streaming to 0 (zero) viewers.

In: Alien Invasion Tomato Monster Mexican Armada Brothers, Who Are Just Regular Brothers, Running In a van from an Asteroid and All Sorts of Things THE MOVIE! Hold on, there's more! Old women are coming, and they're also in the movie, and they're gonna come, and cross attack these two brothers. But let's get back to the brothers, because they're-- they have a strong bond. You don't want to know about it here, but I'll tell you one thing: The moon it comes crashing into Earth. And what do you do then? It's two brothers and--and th-they're It's called Two brothers. Two brothers!

>two years away
We're gonna make it user! That's like a LONG time from now anyway haha.

>tfw a month away from turning 27

>asking /biz/ for financial advice
LOL. /biz/ is filled with Mexicans and Indians shilling the shit out of crypto in hopes they can get out of their shitty situation. Maybe once ina blue moon, you'd get an actual successful investor, but that's like Yea Forums having a video game thread without any flamewars.

>video game thread without any flamewars on Yea Forums
EDF threads are extra comfy as well as Ace Combat threads prior to the PC release.

The latter became REEEEEE MUH HOTAS MUH ULTRAWIDE instantly when the game came out on Steam.

Twitch is trying to branch off into livestreamed events.
They've been trying to shed the "video game stream site" label for a while.
Honestly, they should just make their own camgirl stream site and benefit more off the e-thots. That won't happen, though, since the owners have a stick up their ass about their brand's image.

>an a /biz/ bro give me a quick rundown on how to invest
that's like asking /r9k/ for a relationship advice

Pretty much this. It's even worse than youtube because you have to commit and stream every day for many hours to get traction/keep it. You cant take breaks as if you do, your subs will drop like a rock.

people find it easier to talk about what they hate. its human nature.

Based retard

But now pewdiepie is one of the most genuine internet personalities. He literally had a video where he said he wished more people would read and he recommended a bunch of books.

you either have to be great at a game or have "the look." the look, which consists of: the right personality or friendly face etc etc

it's fucking hilarious though....kids are no different than adults when it comes to being advertised to.

adults like that over the top, corny, lame ass that has that FAKE friendly sales pitch personality, ie fake smile all the time, speaking proper, acts like he's on a tv commercial etc etc.....kids like the EXACT same shit. that fake ass click baiting, fake smile,sales pitch teenage streamer/video uploader.

>$500k a month
>could retire in 10-15 years
what the fuck are you smoking?

It's called I dont live in California, New York or some other overpriced shithole

retard

>He literally had a video where he said he wished more people would read and he recommended a bunch of books.
but did he have a garage with a lamborghini?

>$500k a month
>a month
a lot of people could retire of the singular month
hell, for a year its 6mil, if you cant retire comfortably on ~6 million i dont know what to say

Nah look at MMOs, that's how most games work. At any given time the vast majority of gamers are playing some game everyone else is playing (WoW, FFXIV, ESO) while every other game just has the small fanbase. Even if you get that small fanbase it'll pale to what you'd get even as a mediocre streamer of other game.

>Retire on $500k
1. Nah, that's maybe a quarter of what the average person would need from 60 onward
2. That's most likely a pre-tax number. It'll be down to $275~300k once Uncle Sam takes 'his' cut.

Any of yall old enough to remember streaming before twitch? It had heart. Small communities coming together and multiple people streaming just to entertain each other? Twitch made streaming profitable for anyone and in the process killed streaming.

>still makes 3.3 Mil a year
>can still retire at mid 30s if he plays his cards right

>inb4 he says you cant retire on that much
ffs you could live off the interests

The only reason why he would say that is because he probably lives in an overpriced shithole

No, I was saying you can't retire on $500k at 30 years old. You most certainly could retire on $2+ million, if you're careful with it.

The biggest key to success in streaming is being one of the first people in on a new big game and being super consistent streaming 8hours every day.

Making it in an already established game is basically impossible.

For a good example look at Esfand and StaySafe in classic wow. They got in early as fuck and streamed consistently and now they pull in big numbers all the time.

Obviously if you have some big streamer friend to host you once in a while that's great too.

>how do I make it in streaming?
>did you have a talent for being entertaining?
>why would I be entertaining?
>because you're supposed to entertain people in the entertainment industry
If you just can't fathom how to make even a modestly successful stream, just forget about it and do something you're good at. There's more than one way to make money in this world.

its brehs

Fake shit is peak american culture

The key is playing the cards right. Pay off any debt you got and don't get any more. Buy a house in a place where the taxes won't screw you over in the long haul. Put enough away to live comfortably with the interest and still be able to draw out enough when stuff goes wrong. Planning for the next 50 years of your life off a few million isn't just as simple as living off interest. You are in a new tax bracket that wants to take like 30% of every penny you make every year. If you decide to have kids that is going to throw a huge wrench in your plans. Plus there is the fact that 50 years of not having something to do everyday would drive most people insane. If you don't invest in hobbies you are going to get bored and blow money. Then you got to think about relatives that might die and you have to settle their affairs and maybe debts. It just ain't simple.

>For a good example look at Esfand and StaySafe in classic wow. They got in early as fuck and streamed consistently and now they pull in big numbers all the time.
They already had an established audience because of being friends of asmongold and other streamers who host them every now and then. Obviously they blew up now that classic beta came out but previously they had one thousand viewers on average.

So to make it, make friends with the big dogs.

>This also requires at least some natural charisma and a sense of humour, you can't just rage and whine.

Worked out for DSP. Granted hes not as successful, but it gets him by.

Jerma always looks like he's been working out for a while and then just stopped, not sure why. That's exactly what I looked like when I stopped for last semester in order to pass college but he looks like it all the time. Maybe he's just athltetic

This would be fine if it were an MMO like WoW. Im surprised theres no huge XIV streamers yet, only B tier ones with a few hundred.

Anyone who watchs or donates to any gaming streamer is a fucking faggot.

if you bought them after the recession its definitely possible

i'd rather location than a giant house. a house on the beach or lake is infinitely more enjoyable.

this. look at it like an mmo, on a new server when you're the highest level you have access to everything before most people, same with viewers. if you're around enough people know who you are and flock to it. some people make it through to top level later on but it's a lot harder and more under the radar.

>if you bought them after the recession its definitely possible
Only if you have an insane salary which is really not the case right after a college regularly.
It can take decades for people to pay for real estate loans.

Charisma, good internet connection and skill

you are an idiot. Im not a ninja fanboy but I know the guy. One of the few people who competed against him in Halo before he is what he is now. He was good, and even better he had drive. He was never satisfied and always wanted to push. He used his talent in Halo as a platform to grow and market himself. Without that none of this happens. Thats what got him where he is. And it doesnt happen without him going out and making it happen. He wasnt the most talented player in the scene. Far from it, but he realized he had the chance to do something more with it and made the effort to do it.
People think that these people got here by flicking a switch and playing video games in their basement for 8 hours a day. That's not how it works. Yes some luck is involved. That's life. Lots of people get lucky, not everyone takes that lucky break and uses it to propel themselves forward.

You guys act like its a huge commitment. He could retire after 1-2 years of streaming and ride on the investments alone with a modest life.

zoomer trash
I remember back when Pewdiepie was our Jake Paul

You have to have a good voice and some charisma to be a popular streamer.
Not everyone can be a streamer, you can't just get lucky with that.

that's what seems to be missed, he was one of the first people on twitch and did justin.tv before that. he didn't hit his big break until fortnite, which like said, you have to get in early and luck is a substantial part of it.

Its not at easy as others make it seem so. For every success career there is like a 10 complete failure, and a few semi-success A lot of streamers end up like this with sub 1000 viewers forever doomed into a very dedicated few people. The shit hits the fan when you depend on these because most only these dedicated few make really money.
this he had a far earlier "career" before this fortnite craze, where he was one of those literally who types. If you still didn't break the 1000 views after many years while you can live off it you'll never be the hot-shot streamer people talk about and your career can end completely in one day. Its more likely you don't have the personality for this thing.

A part of playing your cards right, a part of sheer dumb luck because it snowballs a lot.
