I stream because i enjoy playing single player games and it's nice having people to hang out with and share the experiences. I know I will never "hit it big", I don't have enough time to put in since I work full time. But I enjoy playing video games and it's cool to make a little side cash on your hobby.
The biggest toxicity in streaming is typically from yourself. Always watching your followers numbers and viewership, wondering what you did because one stream did worse than another. I find myself falling into that trap as well sometimes and it definitely makes wanting to stream again hard.
