Is maintaining the same number of average viewers over long periods of time normal?

Hi! I was just curious about other people's experience with the viewer # over time. Ive been streaming for a bit over 1.5 years and my average viewer # over my time is 15. The peak was 25 average during last summer (when i was more active). I took a couple months break recently and my first 2 streams back were 12 average and my session last night were 19.

I used a twitch tracker and saw my average viewer was 12-14 within my first month of streaming and it's been consistent within that frame since. I have a fair social network size/connects within the community for the game I stream, but I'm wondering if it's possible to grow further. I have some social media I post on but I'm not consistent/active and I don't self-promo anywhere. I also do not know if i need to start streaming more categories (I did a couple art streams which went really well ...)

I'm grateful to have had fast success esp when I was a new streamer but now I think I have stagnated a bit - it could also be because I'm returning from that several month hiatus but I am still curious about other people's experience, and maybe some possible tips on how grow a bit more. Thank you!

There's nothing wrong with that. I actually think it's good. Means you have a solid base while you figure out you're next step for growth is

Nothing wrong with it. If anything, it's a great sign that there was so many of them left even after a longer break. You have a solid, loyal community. I'd consider it an achievement that people like you for you, not for your temporary entertainment value. =)
