I need to get back into livestreaming

milesyIt's not working on Twitch, and I need to just accept that. I got fucked up by a promo last year, and have never bounced back from it. It's weird to think that a promo would hurt a channel, but it has, immensely. I have about 300 followers, and they all look bought, because not a single one of them has ever actually watched my streams.
What's worse is that this was an official promotion run by Twitch, as part of their creative spotlight thing. I got shouted out on one of their official channels, people came in droves to follow, and now when someone new comes to my channel for the first time, they see 300 followers and no viewers. I honestly think I have to start over at this point. There's no way to purge inactive follows, so I'm just fucked.
Streaming on YouTube isn't as nice, but I think it's a bit better there. I've got some things I have to film today, and then this evening, since I'm home alone and won't have to stop awkwardly, I'll do a stream over there and see how it goes.
Also, I've set up a new pseudonym on AO3. I'll be posting some old and abandoned WIPs there, just to have them available. I'll also probably move a few over from my main pseud, just to get them off my page a bit.
