Streaming - Being You

In order to maximize your streaming success long term you should really just consider being you. 

This topic is an interesting one as depending on the reader this article will come off as a direct contradiction to some of the other articles in the set.  If you find that this article is a contradiction, hopefully this light read will help you either get those contradictions in order or save yourself the headache of realizing streaming might not be for you.

Streaming is a very demanding and taxing endeavor.  If you wind up diverting energy from creating content to some facade/mask/act to make people like you or your content, then you will eventually wind up burning out pretty hard.

An audience is there to be entertained, if you cannot do that successfully without just being who you are then there is a divergence of what you are wanting to get out of content creation and what the audience is looking for.  Being able to recognize this divergence will help, but not guarantee, to avoid total content creation burnout.  Be mindful.
