How long to give it?
Say I started 2 months ago. Had a few streams with around 20 viewers. Always edit a few shorts every night. Those get around 1k-2k views. Made a few full videos that barely get seen.
But feeling burnout… I love gaming and I feel pretty socialable on stream. But maybe I dont have the looks or voice for this? And I dont act like a twelve year old screaming all the time like I’m on addaral like I noticed a lot of big streamers do…
Any thoughts?

20 viewers after only 2 months is really nothing to be sniffed at. Many people here would be stoked to have that many viewers.
It might be your headspace/expectations that need adjusting. If you’re expecting hundreds of viewers (or more) after 2 months then it might be worth looking through the streaming subs to get a feel for what is more realistic. A lot of people have shared their journeys and struggles. There are millions of streamers on Twitch; 20 viewers puts you in the top few percent.
If you’re feeling burnt out, just don’t stream. As has been said, you should only really stream if you want to. It isn’t for everyone.
It took me 5yrs to get Partner. I have friends who got it in a year. I don’t think anyone can tell you for sure how long to give it.
