Disguised Toast 2 – Toast doubles down after Small Streamer Drama & shares his advice

Oh i’ve been getting a lot of angry messages from small streamers lately i think i made a comment about small streamers demanding invites to the minecraft server i think it was two weeks ago and it made it on lsf and then a couple of days ago like some youtube channels started covering it

Hey why aren’t you inviting small streamers it’s like do you want me to invite streamers that are small purely based on the fact that they are small go [ __ ] yourself okay this ain’t a charity i’m not doing handouts here small streamers are generally small because they’re bad streamers and that’s

Why they’re not getting big there are some streamers that have potential yes and i would love to give them a chance but they’re not getting a chance because they’re small they’re getting a chance because they have potential if you’re credentialed into getting into the minecraft streamer server is that you’re small hell no

Hell no man there’s a lot of angry small streamers oh so when i was talking about that i was talking about how people were in my twitter replies demanding that i invite small streamers and my response to that was like if your identity is just being small

Like that’s your brand i’m a small streamer if you meet someone and you introduce yourself it’s like hey i’m next i’m a small streamer and i put hashtag support small streamer in my twitter small streamers streamer for streamer views kind of deal i said yeah you’re probably a bad streamer

But i didn’t deliver properly which i guess is kind of my fault but not really because i’m not going to talk as if i need to give context to every single sentence i say in a conversation so they just clicked the part where i said small streamers are bad i think they

Left out the part like what kind of small streamer i was talking about and they got really upset how dare you toast why you such an [ __ ] i’m out here fighting for my life here and then i would check their account and inevitably these people who got mad at me are small streamers

Who averages less than five views who’s been streaming for more than half a year it’s like wow you managed to get upset at me for speaking the truth of exactly what you are which is a bad small streamer and instead of taking that as feedback or realization that you’re garbage you choose to

Instead be angry at me and say that i’m wrong because somehow that would make you not a bad streamer which you are so no i’m not gonna say sorry in fact i’m gonna double down on that bro i’m trying to help you realize that your content is trash so you can

Be better and switch things up so it won’t be trash bro the reason you know why you’re so upset it’s because i hit you where it hurts the truth change up your contents out of bitching to me i don’t think people realize how much zero slash one viewer streamers there are open up

A league of legends the league of legends category and start scrolling start scrolling down down down down down down down down down down keep scrolling nobody ever scrolls that far because you know what people do they scroll one page at most maybe two maybe three if you’re feeling crazy

But how many times do you have to stream to reach the end and i’m gonna tell you it’s dozens dozens and dozens and dozens of small streamers who’s been added for months streaming to zero viewers change it up tell us they complained how you got lucky and got boosted

First of all when i started my content you know what i did i spent hours researching how to collect statistical information on hearthstone mulligans i learned to use photoshop and i posted to reddit and it’d be like here’s something i made hope you like it

Did it for what four months all i got was reddit karma upvotes okay i made good content and eventually it caught the attention of like people in the community and like other streamers will look at my content on stream nobody was there at the beginning with me making that content with me

Now it is true that some people in our friend circle Got popular because they were like appeared in our content a hundred percent true but even these people they’ve been in our friend circle for years and years like uh i’ll use a ban exam as an example abe like started streaming i don’t know like six months ago and he’s doing pretty okay

Like average what 1 000 viewers but his biggest value is like hosting the minecraft server but here’s the thing about abe i’ve known this guy for four years so if you think knowing a big streamer is like your golden ticket to success no no because i’ve known a for four years

And he just started screaming six months ago and having like viewership okay if that’s your plans like if i if i just got to know one big streamer i’ll be so popular it’s like bro i’ve known like tina’s been in our circle for like three years as well right people think they

Think oh a lot of these people are popular just because they know someone it’s like yes that was part of it but they also spent three years learning all right so instead of streaming to your zero viewer channel why don’t you actually try to learn how to become popular instead of getting

Angry at me the guy who’s telling you what you’re doing isn’t working so that you can do something actually worthwhile in your time with your time here’s what i recommend and if you’re a small streamer and you’re listening and you’re getting angry at me shut up and listen

To what i have to say don’t start your streaming career by streaming it sounds crazy but i’ve been saying this for years it never works you you will never and i mean never ever get popular if the first thing you do is just press your start stream button

You start streaming league of legends you’re platinum too and you do this for a year you will never ever make it you know what you should do you can either get really really good at the game this is like the most straightforward and also kind of the hardest thing to do

Which is become god-like at your game be radiant and valorent be challenger in league be top 100 legend and hearthstone be challenger and tft if you want to go the hardcore gamer route you gotta be best off the best that’s for the hardcore gamers like faker faker personality of

I like faker his personality though it’s like cardboard i hope slipping the occasional like kind of funny thing but ninety percent of the time when you think faker’s personality what do you think of you think oh he’s good at the game it’s not personality he’s good he’s [ __ ] good at the game

Right that’s the hardcore gamer route i mean it’s really hard to do that but if you don’t want to spend time learning like the marketing aspect the social aspect the pr aspect the humor aspect yeah just became just become really really really good at the game but if you’re not i would

Recommend getting noticed on other social media other social media first like reddit i feel like reddit is really good it’s like people are going to upvote or downvote your content based on how interesting it is if you ever need like a gauge of how interesting your content is

Just submit it to reddit tiktok is one that’s kind of new lately where people will like clip their gameplay stuff and put it on tick-tock like it might gain traction and i’ve seen it happen like i i don’t do it because i’m already kind of established but like on tick-tock

There are ballerina tick-tocks right they’re league of legends tick tock where it’s just gameplay like on the bottom half is the gameplay and on the top half it’s the streamers facecam and they also put in some subtitles to help like um visibility and people can easily you can easily do that

Right now and if the clip is interesting or your reaction is interesting people will kind of like oh it’s kind of funny i’ll like it and it might go to five more people and they’ll like it right and you can engage oh this clip did well let’s do more of this

But if you put something boring on tick tock you can also get that feedback it’s like oh this [ __ ] is boring what small streamers do you understand is yes there are definitely good content creators that are small 100 a lot of my friends started as small streamers

For fun but i’m talking like 0 to 10 viewers when people hear small streamers they think like a hundred or less but if you have a hundred viewers on twitch you’re already top one percent like it kind of blows your mind doesn’t it if you have a hundred viewers on twitch

You’re top one percent like probably even higher which is more to illustrate just how many small streamers there are when someone like comes to me say toast you said small streamers suck but i know this stream right she gets 200 viewers it’s like hey dumbass that’s not a small streamer that’s

Already at one percenter please you small streamers on twitter and like lsf comments all the way at the bottom because people downvote you for your opinion because everyone like normal viewers understand what i’m saying but you you felt attacked as a small stream and said oh how can

Those talk about me like this i don’t like him anymore he’s wrong i’m not a bad streamer i just haven’t had the opportunity yet it’s like jesus christ make your own opportunity you think someone is going to come along and say hey you are one thousand small streamers

I like you with your one viewer channel have some opportunity here take it take take my opportunity make tick tocks make a funny twitter post of like you popping off are you like something really true happening even a game glitching can be really entertaining at times

Is it necessary to show face i don’t show face like if you’re a non-face shower and you get some traction a face reveal is like a way to like get popular not that i did it on purpose i just had to do it i was planning to reveal my face at like

A million youtube subscribers i just had to do it earlier because someone leaked my face i feel like the only way to grow on twitch right now is leashing like if your strategy is to like be a streamer and to start streaming right away and do nothing else

Yeah you can leash but no one’s going to let you leach like if you start a twitch account today and you’re like tell us can i stream with you i’d be like god where are you yes discoverability is this problem yes 100 people with good content do exist right now

That have no viewers i’m sure there’s dozens of them but you can’t just sit and cry how life is on the fair when every streamer had to go through something similar right xqc what even he streamed league of legends to like no viewers before he started overwatch people think

Big streamers got big over the course of one day or they got lucky oh is it forced in sc it was forcing sc but a foursome didn’t start in hearthstone right so you can kick and scream and whine about how you’re not getting the right opportunity but what’s that what’s that gonna do

You can yell at twitch hey you should sort twitch channels by the least amount of viewers is that how you wanna get popular is that how you wanna get like your first three viewers like handouts so no small streamers on twitter i won’t apologize for trying to save you money and time

I’m gonna force feed this streamer medicine down your throat so you save yourself 6k buying better mic oh is it my mic is it my webcam maybe if i had a dslr i would get more viewers
