Twitch success is primarily driven by consistency. You have to be a prolific daily streamer that is ALWAYS online. If you engage someone on one day, you need to be online and streaming at the same time that person is on the next day so they watch you and not someone else.
Secondly it's presentation. Saying the right things in the right way for the audience to engage.
Thirdly it's off-site engagement. Hasan is successfully reaching people with posts on all platforms, typically with short clips. These are probably created by an editor for him as part of a team.
Twitch streamer success is honestly brutal, most of the people succeeding on twitch stream every single day for 12 hours a day, they don't take holidays, they work 360 days straight in some cases. The ones that can do less than that have some niche or pull in an audience through some other method. Yeah it's sitting in a chair talking to a screen but the sheer consistency and neverending nature of it or getting subscriber losses is brutal.
Yeah, most people are overthinking it. Hasan streams like a complete shutin despite not looking, sounding, or acting like a complete shutin. That will obviously lead to views and subs.
The successful streamers barely go outside at all. Their whole life is streaming. It's an incredible amount of work and an awful daily routine.
When unexpected things happen they have to extend streams beyond their usual routine too. You can't let a good stream go until numbers go down to your average.
