Although it is one of the most vibrant industries with many development opportunities, streamers also face numerous difficulties and pressures. Among them, ensuring the volume and quality of work, meeting the standard KPI for streaming hours, and viewer interaction metrics is a significant headache for streamers. Even the big names on Twitch have faced this issue.
Recently, streamer Sommerset, who specializes in content related to the game Fortnite, admitted that she is exhausted from trying to stream every day, starting at 9 AM (sometimes deviating from the planned schedule). With limited rest time and not in the best health condition, throughout her broadcast, she received numerous complaints from viewers about not streaming enough hours and not adhering to the announced schedule.
Frustrated, the female streamer tearfully expressed: “When I first started streaming, I worked like crazy; I just stayed home and streamed, that was all I did. Back then, I even streamed continuously for many hours. But now, I feel like I can slow down a bit.”
Additionally, she continued to complain about viewers constantly bringing up the topic of her often ‘missing streams’ or going live at the wrong time: “Anyway, I am still streaming, still trying to stream every day, even if it’s not how you want. If you can’t respect that, then I don’t want you here.”
The streamer Sommerset then continued to rank up in Fortnite, seemingly unfazed by the mixed feedback from the audience. She even unexpectedly ended the broadcast, leaving viewers in shock.
