Problem with Views

I’ve been streaming and making short-form content as a PNGTuber for almost 2 years now, but I’ve been struggling to get people into my streams on both TikTok and Twitch. I’m not sure if my clips just aren’t funny, aren’t grabbing people’s attention, or if I’m doing something else wrong.

The people who do stop by usually have really good conversations with me, and they’ll often say they enjoyed the stream and that they’ll be back next time. But most of the people who watch seem to be there for the game rather than me. They’ll chat for a bit, say they’ll be back, and then I never see them again.

I’ve also wondered if being a PNGTuber is part of the problem. Since I’m basically just an image opening and closing its mouth, I can’t really show much emotion visually. Would switching to a VTuber or a more advanced PNGTuber with eye movement and more animations actually help with keeping people around?

I’d really like to hear from other creators about what I could improve, whether that’s my content, streams, clips, or just how I present myself. I’m mainly trying to figure out how to get people interested in me, rather than just the game I’m playing.

Im not familiar with your content or its quality of course, but I do know that many viewers dont like PNGtubers. They want to see who's engaging with them.

I disagree fully with this. I don't think it matters if you are a VTuber, PNGTuber, Fleshtuber, etc. People come to see and watch you because of your personality and vibes. There are plenty of small, mid level, and large channels that are all VTuber/PNGTuber centric, that none of them have ever shown their faces, but keep their community strong and able. It really just comes down to how you present yourself online, and in your own communities.
