news culture “…It’s 80% of success” Joueur du Grenier gives advice to future YouTubers, dreams will be shattered
A dream for many, the job of streamer or youtuber is far from accessible to everyone. As one of the few who have succeeded, Joueur du Grenier explains what it takes to be successful. An interesting point of view that we can give back to other creators on the other side of the Atlantic.
“Don’t take the lead”
The Twitch website has become a go-to place for many people on the internet. It allows you to follow content creators live, often on current video games, but also on open discussion boards. An activity that makes many want to get involved, but from which it is difficult to make a living. On SullyGnome we see that on average around 95% of the streamers (the ones we follow live) congregate between 0 and 5 spectators. An observation that can probably also be observed on YouTube: the desire to throw must be there, but complicated to “drill“. Frédéric Molas, better known as Attic player (aka JdG), is one of the rare French designers whose notoriety has exploded. Asked about this on Monday on Twitch, he gives his point of view to those looking to break into YouTube:
Have fun and don’t worry if it will work. In fact, too many people start out on Youtube (but also applies to Twitch) thinking I want to make a living from it. Youtube or Twitch is a job where happiness is 80% of the success.
He then explains that unlike a few years ago, everyone comes with professional gear…which may be the answer to people’s disinterest. JdG has some very interesting words about current video content consumption. The over-representation of very (even too) professional youtubers/twitchers would tire viewers in advance: “Oh, one more thing I have to see…‘ and would prefer content closer to reality (hence the emergence of the social network TikTok). Something that can attest Cyprien with one of his short films.

Amouranth or Pokimane, two different visions
Attic player However, she wasn’t the only one asked for advice on getting into the profession. Across the Atlantic, streamer Kaitlyn Siragusa was interviewed on the subject. Better known as Amouranth, she is the most viewed streamer by Twitch in 2022 despite the rise of V-Tubers. In Interview end of 2022it says the following:
Don’t actually start on Twitch. I think if you want to start you have to have followers somewhere. Because Twitch doesn’t really have Discovery on its own platform. TikTok is a good place, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube. All of these things are much easier to launch than Twitch
Words are justified by the numbers achieved: If it’s now 6.4 million Fan On Twitch, the live streaming platform mainly allows him to redirect his viewers to OnlyFans. On the latter, Amouranth recognizes most of it its revenue of $1.5 million per month. However, there is an opposite example, because before Amourant, it was Pokimane who reigned at the top of Twitch. It mobilized more than 9 million Fan thanks to the latter what allows him to do today shorter content on TikTok.
