Valkyrae is starting to stream less: \u201cI\u2019m trying to do other things with my life\u201d YouTube: 100 ThievesYouTube star Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has been streaming for years as her dream came true. Now she\u2019s looking to find balance in her life, pulling back her streaming schedule to \u201cdo other things\u201d outside of going live. Popular 100 Thieves streamer Valkyrae has been in the streaming game for around eight years now. She\u2019s grown into a giant in the industry, boasting over 3.7 million subscribers and a recipient of TGA\u2019s Content Creator of the Year Award. Though she\u2019s created a robust community of viewers through streaming, she has a lot of other variables in her life keeping her busy \u2014 thereby warranting her desire to decrease her livestream hours. Since moving to YouTube from Twitch, Valkyrae has been streaming mostly gaming content due to the difficulty in getting IRL streams together. This was brought up in a recent broadcast \u2014 before leading to a bigger discussion. \u201cOn YouTube, there\u2019s an extra step the IRL backpack has to go through,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd it\u2019s just, the delay is too much. Reading chat is unbearable for me. I can\u2019t even communicate with chat when I IRL stream.\u201d It\u2019s not just IRL streaming though, but playing games on broadcast and everything in between. The star was quick to assert that she still enjoys the job, but she\u2019s trying to expand her horizons and find balance. \u201cSome people think I don\u2019t like streaming \u2014 I do like streaming. It\u2019s just, I\u2019m trying to do other things with my life now.\u201d Valkyrae then talks about her burnout from streaming: \u201cWe\u2019ve been full time streamers for over eight years. And when we first started streaming, I had multiple jobs and streamed nine hours a day every single day.\u201d She may return to streaming her usual hours, but there is a requirement \u2014 finding something enjoyable and new again, like Among Us or Valorant at their peaks. \u201cI think once there\u2019s a really really fun game that I\u2019m excited to play, I\u2019ll over stream a bit? As of right now, there isn\u2019t anything new or exciting for me.\u201d Keep in mind, Valkyrae wants to stream less, but that doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019ll be making less content: \u201cI don\u2019t have to make YouTube videos, but I\u2019ve been enjoying it. So I\u2019m just trying to do things that I enjoy, balancing and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
