Twitch is losing millions of viewers every single month, the post-lockdown era of Twitch and streaming, in general, is showing that Streamers need to adapt how they're trying to grow, does this mean you need to stop streaming in 2023? Should we spend less hours spent streaming and more hours spend creating long-term content and farming views with YouTube Shorts, TikToks, videos, and more!

So beginners or small streamers often sit right down at the bottom of the categories and never get any clicks, because nobody scrolls down 20,000 streamers to find them, and nobody uses the filters over here to check by recommended or smallest despite what you might hope. In reality, very few even check categories, most Viewers actually go straight to their Follower List or Favourite streamer meaning discovery on Twitch is relatively slow to start out. Think about it, when you type twitch.tv into your bar, it usually auto-completes to your favourite streamers channel, not to a specific category or the homepage. This kingmaker system has led to A LOT of outcry from smaller creators asking Twitch to do more for them and their discovery and in turn the same reason why educators such as myself or harris often push you guys to diversify across other platforms with algorithms such as TikTok or YouTube… even if you hate that advice with all your heart. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 How Streamers Are Ruining Their Chances To Grow 2:00 The Worst Streaming Mistake New Creators Make! 2:45 Why Growing As A Streamer Is Almost Impossible 3:30 Why 2020 Was Easier To Grow As A Streamer 4:00 The Truth About Growing As A Streamer 4:50 Why Streaming More Hours Means Less Growth 5:00 What Analytic Is Most Important For Stream Growth 6:00 Why Your Motivation To Stream Determines Your Growth 8:00 How Creators Accidentally Ruin Their Own Growth 9:00 How To Grow As A Creator In 2023 11:30 How YouTube Is Helping Small Creators Grow In 2023 13:30 Your Most Important Tool To Growing As A Creator What Bitrate And Settings Should I Use For Streaming? The easiest way to understand bitrate is by calling what it actually is, your upload speed to the Twitch servers. Now you’ll need a higher bitrate depending on how high quality you want your stream to be, this means 1080p 60 frames per second will need a bitrate of 6000, which roughly equals 6megabits upload speed on your end being taken up By lowering your resolution and framerate, you can make it a lot easier to stream, for example, if you set your base canvas size to 1920x1080, but change your output to 1280x720 otherwise known as 720p you drop down to only needing a bitrate of 4500 or 4.5megabits. If you still want 1080, you can even just lower your framerate from 60fps to 30fps and then adjust to 4500bitrate.
