Should I stream Rust on Twitch?

5/100 · Closed off· 65 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. Rust has 115 streamers live, so you would open around #53 of 116 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 499 of the 3,253 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 19 each if you split it with the 25 other English streams below them. You would start around #53, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 3,253 of the 7,467 viewers here (44%) are watching in English. 27 of the 115 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

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.

“Steam Review — Why I Don't Recommend Rust The game itself is good. The problem is what Rust can do to your time. Rust is undeniably a well-designed survival game. The building, PvP, raiding, progression, exploration, teamwork, and unpredictable player interact…”
