Should I stream Factorio on Twitch?

26/100 · Thin· 11 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Most of the 199 people watching Factorio in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 72 across 11 other English streams. You would start around #10 of 32.

About 72 of the 199 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 6 each if you split it with the 11 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #10.

Only 199 of the 343 viewers here (58%) are watching in English. 13 of the 31 live streams are in English.

Most of the audience here is not watching in English, is committed to the biggest streams, or you would start too far down the list to be found.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
