I started streaming for the lolz, but really to capture the crazy moments with my brothers when we're playing games. I enjoyed it and it was an easy enough hobby, but got a few followers where most of them were promoters asking if I wanted to buy bot views or have them advertise me on social media. It was mostly a joke. I don't honestly think I have the personality to stream solo, and I can't build a business around the availability of my brothers, who work different hours than me.
And in the end, what's the point? Do I really want to start a streaming empire? Follow a schedule, grind on games, invest in a studio? I'm mostly about just hopping on my Xbox occasionally to blow off some steam or explore a random world.
That said - the banter between me and my brothers is a lot of fun. So I still stream so I can capture those moments when they are being crazy and zany. Maybe eventually I'll upload clips on YouTube. But for now, it's a passive project that I'm not actively investing in.
