I think it could be fun :3 always fun to pop in and chat.

twitch would limit you to sfw which might not be an issue unless you wanted to do more risque things. Also twitch trolls can be quite nasty.

Would be fun to chat and watch art but not sure twitch is the best platform.

I see..what would you recommend then?

picarto.tv is the typical go to but I know there are a couple others but they are rarely used by anyone I know of.

oh I see!

If you do start streaming I will try and pop by c:

of course! I'll announce it if anything!

I am a partnered Twitch livestreamer and I can say with great certainty, you would do better on pictaro. I would have left twitch ages ago but I'm under contract. :(

Oh no! What don't you like about twitch?

The trolls, you can only do sfw, you never get new viewers on Twitch as creative. The list goes on and on.

Oh wow thats horrible!
When does your contract end?

Technically, it auto-renews. After 2 years, it renews itself and then I have to do some kinda crazy crap just to get out of contract like contact them 90 days before a certain date or something. It's all kinds of nuts. It's not really worth me doing though, since it's my only form of income atm besides Patreon.

so basically youre stuck in the system?

More or less, yes. But I can promise you, the best way to grow is to work on here networking. This month, I only had 30 follows. That's like 1 follow a day. Not really worth it, tbh. Especially when none stay and talk.

I'll try! And I hope the best for you too. I'm sure that things will
get better!!

Thank you, I am starting to focus more on Patreon at this point, I like it a lot better there, although it's not a streaming place. xD

What even is patreon?

Basically, it can be used as a tip jar or like a tier system. Let me show you mine so you can get an idea:

Isnt it a bit difficult to keep up with?

Not at all! I started about a month ago and I'm not really having any problems with it at all. :D You post when you want and as long as you post at least once a month.. And if you do WIPS and stuff, you can post those there. The sky is the limit. I have been doing videos and such as well. Tutorials seem to be very popular as well.

Oh ill try it then!

yes please!!!
ive been working w picarto but i hear tons of good things w twitch, but twitch is very not friendly to nsfw

I feel like with twitch I can reacher a wider audience
but picarto is the safer choice

if anything we can multistream sometime so I can see how picarto works!

i feel you, i wanna do twitch but at the same time picarto feels more inviting
and ofc! i have premium on pic so lmk

Yeah I heard some nasty things about twitch
Also of course!!
