For some reason i want to stream games on a platform such as Twitch, but im pretty scared to start and what people may think of me, and what if my device isint good enough?

I'm not even sure if I should start with Twitch or not?

Anyone got any advice on getting over my silly fears or something?

I would only stream if it's something you will enjoy doing regardless of success. I have some friends who have treated streaming like a job for years and their viewercounts are still pretty low (~20-50). Something like a youtube channel would be a helpful addition/alternative as well, so at least your content doesn't continuously disappear into the void.

I get like 10 viewers on a good day lol, but it's more fun than playing offline
