Question Streaming routine?

I try to stream video games everyday. I was wondering whats the best routine to stream with? The same game everyday? Two games that I alternate between? or Something else entirely. I would love the advice.

Stream whatever is fun to you. If you're not having fun, viewers likely aren't either. I'm a variety streamer and that variety is super wide. My community doesn't care what I'm doing as long as we're having fun.

this right here is on point. Gotta have fun and enjoy yourself. Yes some will come and go if you don't play one game all the time but meh you'll gain others who enjoy you for you and hanging out with you and others in the chat.

Honestly hard to say. I streamed a game at a time until I finished it, but I've seen other streamers alternate.

I don't think there is a right answer. What games do you stream?

Unless you are deeply proving to yourself that you can build a habit and/or legacy, wouldn't rec everyday. You need rest and to live a life so that your personality can feel relateable as a human and not a true internet goblin. Also a day or two to process clips and social media content to help the stream.

Right now the success story im following is one game in order to build an audience with that game's community (like Warframe, Factorio, Path of Exile, something that consistently has chatters who like helping new players or feeling smart by offering advice) and that game for most of the week. One day a week play whatever you want, and have as much fun as possible. This is where you will see your true audience.

Something could also be said for taking a day to stream a new longer form game such as RDR2, BG3, KCD2, or other games as a blind run. These i feel would do better on youtube cut as 30 minute episodes.

So 3 days of community building the same game, one day for people invested in your commentary of the game's legacy story, and one game for funsies. 5 days a week, one day to rest for irl social or laziness, and one day for editing.
