I chose to inquire about pre-ad rolls NEXT WEEK because of the amount of content that I have created this week. I streamed for 6 out of 7 days during reading week and had long streams including one that was 7 hours and 21 minutes long. I streamed 30 hours 29 minutes. I received 358 follows throughout the week. I had 49 average viewers for the week. I thought this week would be more exhausting considering the amount of streaming that I did throughout the week. I streamed on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

This week started off very excited with a 17 game win streak which is insane. It made me excited to stream because winning is ALWAYS fun! On Thursday, I received 55 followers, 2 subscriptions, and rolled 8 minutes of ad breaks totaling about 7 dollars of profit for the day. I had 41 average viewers and 87 max viewers which was not too impressive. I was enjoying talking with chat and had no toxic chatters this stream with a total of 629 chat messages. This day was very simple with no clip worthy moments.

On the 19th of February I felt good about my gameplay, but my win streak ended at 18 wins which really impressed my chat. I streamed for 3 hours and 6 minutes because I had to work at 5 o’clock that night. I had a lot of chatters for only 3 hours with 801 chat messages. I had 6 minutes of ad breaks and 2 subscriptions which totaled $6.53. I only received 39 followers, but that isn’t bad for a short 3 hour stream. I had 92 max viewers and 45 average viewers. My streams have been improving as I grow in skill and strategic gameplay. Here is an example of strategic gameplay that my viewers enjoy.

Once Sunday came around I had the day off work and was excited to have a long stream of 4 hours and 56 minutes. I got NO subscriptions on Sunday which was really underwhelming and hurt a little bit. It is always sad to stream for 5 hours and receive no subscription money. I still managed to make $3.25 in pre-roll ads because I had about 10 minutes of ads throughout my 5 hour stream. I had an increase in maximum and average viewers with 100 max viewers and 51 average viewers.

On Monday I had a EXTREMELY long stream of 7 hours and 21 minutes. I only had 47 average viewers and 82 maximum viewers. I got 90 followers which is okay but not amazing for a 7 hour stream. I had 841 chatters so my chat wasn’t too interaction on Monday. I always have to consider that many of my viewers are at school and work during the day on Monday. I received 2 subscriptions and 15 minutes of pre-roll ads adds up to 9 dollars and 22 cents of profit on the stream.

On Tuesday I had a great day for subscriptions and received 10 subscriptions! I had a great day with no raids of 123 maximum viewers and 66 average. A big upgrade from previous days. I streamed for 6 hours and 13 minutes. With 13 minutes of ads and 10 subscriptions, I made $30 on the day! I had 983 chatters. A fun and great day.

Wednesday was the final day of the week and I streamed for 4 hours and 43 minutes. I had a very unimpressive stream with only 37 average viewers and 59 maximum viewers. I was happy with getting 5 gifted subscriptions and having 10 minutes of ads which made me $14. I didn’t get a great amount of reach because I only had 509 chat messages and 30 followers.

This week made me upset because I hoped to receive more support and more viewership. I love to see in incline in viewers and when that doesn’t happen it can be underwhelming. I still love to play Counter-Strike and stream but receiving little compensation for it can be aggravating. I still plan to continue streaming and hopefully come up with ways to increase my subcount and hopefully hit 15,000 followers on Twitch and 5,000 followers on Instagram by the end of this inquiry.
