Jacksepticeye explains why he won\u2019t return to Twitch: \u201cI find myself boring\u201d YouTube: jacksepticeyeSe\u00e1n \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin might be huge on YouTube, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s comfortable with all content creation. After a stint of streaming, the gaming star says he has no intention of trying it again \u2014 on Twitch or elsewhere. It\u2019s quite easy to assume that video game content creators would naturally gravitate towards live streaming. But in Jacksepticeye\u2019s case, he actively avoids the medium \u2014 be it Twitch or YouTube. When brought on the Trash Taste Podcast, Jacksepticeye mentioned \u201cI feel like I can make something more entertaining when it\u2019s paced around editing. But if it\u2019s me, I\u2019m like, I just find myself boring.\u201d As a YouTuber with 28.5 million subscribers who primarily uploads Video Game Let\u2019s Plays, he\u2019s clearly not a \u2018boring\u2019 guy. Jacksepticeye has the skill set to succeed with streaming. In fact, Jacksepticeye tried streaming before with Among Us and Rust \u2014 and fans came in their thousands. But even the most popular personalities receive criticism, despite their undeniable success. In the podcast, Jacksepticeye states that he\u2019s a people pleaser. \u201cIf someone says \u2018I hate this,\u2019 and it\u2019s 1 out of 1000, I\u2019ll still see it, and it\u2019ll ruin my whole mood.\u201d The related segment begins at 1:46:09. The YouTuber has done stand-up comedy as well. But when comparing live streaming with an actual live audience, he stated \u201canything you say will make them laugh. And I feel like nothing is taken out of context, nothing is weird about it.\u201d Streaming places you in a position where criticism is immediately received, he explains. Twitch or YouTube chat is directly in front of the streamer\u2019s face. Therefore, when it comes to livestreaming, Jacksepticeye feels additional anxiety while performing. This makes his YouTube videos, which showcases small edits to help highlight his personality, undeniably best form of content. \u201cMaybe there\u2019s a background brain thing going \u2014 just the feeling of having to please people live got to me.\u201d When it comes to content creation, it\u2019s really an art. Everyone has different tastes, various methods of creating. The grind becomes a daily chore, making it essential for influencers to actually enjoy what they do, and to be in a good headspace when doing so. That\u2019s one of the reasons he decided to take a break from YouTube in the past. Jackespticeye is, by all means, a successful video game content creator. Though streaming does seem like an obvious choice for the creator, the bottom line is the medium isn\u2019t for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
