This is just a rant I needed to get off my chest cause maaaan, I'm so tired of it.
I create content to promote my streams, usually in the form of editing short and easily digestible clips to showcase some fun moments and whatnot happening over there. It's cool, I love streaming! Streaming gives me an output to share all my chatty subjects with people + playing games is super neat.
When the stream is over and you gotta actually make the content, it can be super lame. I love streaming and creating content, but I hate feeling like I need to change myself to fit in with whatever the social media platform deems algorithm friendly.
It's heartbreaking when I don't see the fruit of all my labor, I just want to share fun times with viewers and whatnot, but how are people ever gonna discover me if they don't know I exist?
I got so much passion for streaming and talking, sometimes it can be so demotivating, I'm so scared of burning out. People are my passion and algorithms are taking the people out of the passion. It just does not feel natural.
Anywho, I should actually sleep lol

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna keep doing it lol! But it does suck knowing my potential is, one way or another, hidden because I choose not to pay social media platforms to push my videos (looking at you, tiktok).
I am definitely close to burnout. I've taken breaks before, but it left me feeling so empty. I don't know, streaming is so mentally fulfilling, but it stops being fulfilling when there's not any one there to have fun with. Does that make sense?
Dunno, I'm gonna keep going, but it's just frusturating
