giveaways attract viewers. Thats the point
giveaways attract snipers, not viewers
It's a shame though because theres nothing else you can do to kickstart channels anymore. Gotta do giveaways or you get nobody. I don't do giveaways on my main channel, but on my friends' channel we do payday giveaways and it seems like thats the only reason people show up. Id say we do alright streams though. Only reason i got followers on my main channel is from the blockland streams i used to do. They were nice
Basically, it seems that streaming is more about giveaways than games which is a damn shame. Sometimes i cant help but think that skins killed cs:gos fun
