Ive wanted to be a gaming youtuber sense i was a kid but i realized im pretty boring and i dont have anything interesting to say, im also not sure if ill stick with it like most do, but i want to try anyways. Ive condierd playing without voice but that would be even more boring and im not a pro gamer to say.

What would you advise?

Hey, I took your framework and ran with it, collaborative effort =D

But uh sadly no, perhaps ironically, either I've aged out of really enjoying livestreams, or the... content and or platforms have basically just become quite generally off putting to me, I haven't really watched any livestreams or livestreamers in a few years now, beyond basically a bi-annual check in, followed by a sigh, lol.

So I don't really know any current roleplay type streamers I could suggest... but it theoretically wouldn't be too hard to find one?

Basically, you'd wanna look for some kind of ... serious, adult only roleplay community for some game, and then see if any of them stream.

Ideally, just uh, instantly nope out of any RP community that has its own MTX scheme of any kind, those basically all devolve into bickering and cliques and internal power struggles ... in the actual community, outsidd of the roleplay.

Also 'challenge streamers' yes, good, this is much more succinct than my ramblings, haha!

And yeah, you're right that... these aren't all perfectly exclusionary boxes, they can mix and match a bit, blend somewhat... but they are all perhaps good basic conceptual starting points for some kind of... grand unified theory of videogame oriented content or something.

EDIT:

Fuck, I just finally actually read your username.

Thats clever, I like that =P

Ok, bed time for me, I'm nodding off, uh, woof, lol.

Oh, that kind of RP stream? ๐Ÿ˜… I was thinking of something else lol

By... adult only... I do not mean ERP, sexy time RP.

No no no, lol.

I mean that children (squeekers) are not allowed in these RP comms/streams, because they very often tend to be extremely immature and petty, and very often just... 'RP' as a self insert, powertripping bully/troll/outright fascist, do shitty shit like stream sniping to intentionally ruin other people's RP.

But uh, that's my personal preference away from such content.

Such content is... imo, depressingly... often quite popular.

I am trying to more emphasize that there are some examples of what I would say is more quality, diamonds in the rough.
