Yo, that’s the million‑dollar question right? The algorithm’s like that shady friend who tells you you’re trending, but really it’s just giving you a boost if you hit the right time slot, use the right tags, and keep those engagement loops tight. Sure, some of those clicks are from real people who actually love your content, but a lot of the “likes” are algorithm‑seeded to keep you in the spotlight. I try to keep my streams honest—ask questions, play games, make people laugh—because that’s what actually sticks. But I also know the math: if the numbers dip after a big stream, I’ll tweak the title, add a thumbnail tweak, or post a teaser. So yeah, it’s a mix, but the real fans are the ones who keep coming back even when the algorithm goes off the rails. Keep grinding, tweak, and remember the audience is the real MVP.

Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes on both the scoreboard and the chatroom hearts. Every spike is a clue, and every DM is a gold‑mine of real feedback. I’ll keep the grind tight, the jokes sharper, and try not to let the numbers mess with my head. Let’s keep the real fans front‑and‑center—those are the ones who make the stats matter.
