Yuber went viral a couple of years ago for recording an honest video about his experience streaming on Twitch, and uploaded it to YouTube. The video went viral with over 1.2 million views currently. Yuber exposes the terrible advice given as he is a living example showing that it doesn’t work. Streaming random games, having a schedule, quality of streams are all nice to have, but at the end of the day it does not help you grow. Twitch does not have any incentive to show brand new streamers.

He lost his girlfriend, friends, and livelihood all chasing a dream following bad advice seen on websites like reddit.
