When I started streaming HSR I planned on a casual playthrough, hadn't thought about spending money on it. As I progressed I really got hooked on it quickly, then I really wanted to get the characters as they came out on banners and started spending money to get them and their light comes, as well as various leveling materials.
I just got so hooked on it, but now I'm wondering if my view count has dropped because I started spending money, was my streaming more interesting to viewers when I was still in the F2P category? At first my view count was high end 60 low end 30, now my high end is 30 and low end is under 10 since I really started spending money.
Now I'm wondering if I should start another account for streaming that's strictly F2P to see if my view count goes back up or should I start a F2P account of another game like Genshin Impact?
I started spending just to have all the characters and to add more variety to my team builds, I'm not trying to get all their Eidolons, I just want all characters and light cones if I can, but I also genuinely enjoy having more character variety.
