@everyone There won't be a stream today because I'm drowning in work at my job and need to get clear of some of it. Fair warning that I may not be able to stream later in the week either.

To be perfectly honest, I've been seriously burned out by the attacks on my channel. With YouTube gone, I've lost around 80 to 90 percent of my live audience and virtually all of my streaming income. Despite my admonishments for people to follow me on Twitch, only a fraction of my audience has done so, and the YouTube premieres of my Twitch streams get fewer views compared to when I could stream on YouTube. I get far fewer Streamlabs tips than Super Chats (due to the smaller live audience as well as the fact that Streamlabs is more cumbersome), and I also have to do more work per stream as well (since I have to upload the video to YouTube after the fact). Basically, I'm spending much more time doing streams for a much smaller audience for considerably less money, and I have difficulty justifying this when I have tons of other things on my plate.

I don't plan on quitting, but I may be reducing Matt Forney Live to just once per week or moving it to different days of the week, at least until my strike expires at the end of next month. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, like I've been saying, follow my Twitch channel to watch my streams: https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney
