    But why? If you don’t enjoy it, why try to get into streaming? The chances that it’ll pay back for itself are incredibly small and it takes years of consistent streaming to get any kind of consistent audience.

    If you do enjoy it, then by all means, practice a bit so it gets more natural (and more enjoyable).

      OP left no indication of whether they enjoy or not. Just that it is hard. And it is hard. Broadcasters are trained formally to do it. It requires improvisation skills, acting and physical and mental stamina. But, it can also be very rewarding. Like most things in life, there’s some level of initial discomfort and hardship involved in getting to do or experience cool things. You get to choose what you want to face or not.

        Oh for sure. I know some people who really enjoy it, and it is work.

        That said, there seems to be some weird fascination w/ streaming/YouTubing, so I feel like people feel some pressure to get into it. How it’s presented is very different from the work that goes into it, so I’m just pointing out that if it’s not enjoyable, it’s probably not a you problem.
