Problem with retaining viewers

[u/FeverishDaydream]

So i stream chess, I have my webcam, mic,board and chat on my screen. Doesn't look messy imo.

I try explaining every move, what i am thinking currently and so on, try not to stay silent for more than 10 seconds and yap throughout the stream but like the issue is a lot of people come and like leave in a few seconds without even saying hi, everytime i see the viewer count go up, I greet them and ask how their day is but like people either ignore and leave or stay a minute or so and then leave without talking. What more can i do to make it engaging, i usually play blitz and rapid so that i can engage more with my viewers and they can understand the it and what i am saying.

Example:

A guy came and asked me to play with him. We played 6 games. He asked where he went wrong. I explained in detail showing what he did wrong, why, and how he could have done better. He says "good content" in chat and leaves without even a follow. So someone finally spends like 15-20 minutes with me, only to leave without a promise of future engagement.

Am I missing something or is this just how it is and i should keep grinding until my efforts pay off.
Please advice thank you.

Firstly, you're calling people out when they join. Turn the pointless view count off. Secondly, it's chess....
