I'd love for my streams to have even a single viewer. 20 years of streaming to nobody takes its toll.

I know its satire but sometimes I watch random streams with <2 viewers. Once it made a streamer so happy that I got added on steam friend list lol.

I've finally broken past 3 and now I'm at like ten or so a stream

This isn't even satire. I'll watch through videos of people I follow, who get like no views, even if I'm not interested in the content. I'll also sit in on their streams, and might even mute the audio and do other stuff, just so there's another viewer on twitch or YT.
