The YouTube Shorts algorithm is a foreign creature to me. A fun clip of something cool in Yakuza will get like 8 views, and then a random Mario Kart clip will pop the fuck off for over 1K views.

I'm pretty happy where I'm at with YouTube. Shorts do decent enough, and Twitch VOD archives are spaced about 3-4 weeks from the original stream.
I keep my bar for success as a content creator low on purpose so I don't disappoint myself.
I mark 6-10 average viewers a successful stream because if I had 10 people watching me at an arcade, that meant I was really good.
That perspective of physical presence I think is something a lot of creators lose sight of when they're starting out, but it's important to stay centered during the content creation grind.
