Puny couch!
Play me something trendy, otherwise I won't give you affiliate status or followers! Do it or die! Feel my wrath!!
DO IT NOW! RAISE THE VIEWER BY AVERAGE BY STREAMING LESS!
Do fitness response videos! Watch video essays! Look up youtube! Anything other than your art. Do it. I need that attention to monetize my ad space to make a living, even if the money may not be making a difference.
Puny, for I am what am, a silly lottery instead of a system of gatekeepers. Puny.
Of course this chokehold is what In doing myself, the algorithm has no autonomy. It's all my visualization. This is the pressure of looking at the constant one number of my average viewership of my streams.

If I keep doing this, I'll never get affiliation from twitch unless I do something trendy to attract the “whales”, the heavy users, the lurkers. No matter how hard that I, or others, want it. The algorithm is the decider, what's behind it? The audience and how attention is sorted.
Do the math. The mindless math of discovery. That stocks everything. A plot of land on an idle server farm, with random luck here or there.
No gatekeepers, yet with that, no curation. A puny wasteland where social media CEOs called it progress.
Oh well, nothing but my work. Our work.

We can make a difference in small pockets, yet, if you think this is rigged on who gets picked, I can't blame you.
An imagined meritocracy that makes us get us to try to do whatever is trendy to win this lottery of attention. Yet the math ain't in the favour.
It happens, when this gig-dries up and the server's possibly shut down. Only migration of the furry/oc community will happen. To a new platform.
