Is it worth becoming a letsplay streamer as a hobby, sorta?

I want to know the whole process of what its like streaming games as a hobby. Im not the best at games but i still like them and i think it would be neat to build a community possible, but im still unsure?

Im not even sure where to start to stream to a community? i may be hard on myself but i just feel im boring, i really demotivate myself instead of starting things i want to do.

I streamed for a few years and it was fun making friends and chatting. It took a while to gain watchers at first.

Just keep talking and chatting even if no one is there, eventually people will join In to your conversations.

If it's as a hobby, and you're enjoying yourself doing it, then it'll never be a waste of time. Keep at it long enough, and you'll get good at it, and maybe you'll be able to get something back out of it one day.

It's it's fun, and you enjoy it, then yes.

Don't go into it expecting a career, do it for yourself.

And then maybe if you're lucky your authenticity will shine bright enough that it gets a fandom enough to become a community.
