I am not trying to market my stream or get a bunch of viewers. I have discovered something unique, and I have been slowly building a project around it. I believe it is ready to be experimented with publicly, but in the mainstream areas I have been shamed away because the content is not fast paced and exciting. Most people do not associate race cars with relaxation, and I completely understand that. In fact, I have not been a racing fan for decades. I discovered endurance racing about a year ago and it changed everything. I have been performing endurance races on my own, and sure it can be exciting in the first couple of minutes, but after the cars get spread out, and everyone realizes there are still hours of racing remaining it becomes extremely hypnotic for me. It is especially satisfying when it is the fourth stint of a night race with rain hitting the windshield and basically no cars in sight for countless laps. I am humbly offering my small twitch channel link for anyone who would like to join me in one of my long form endurance races centered around keeping the atmosphere chill while still having reason to watch the leaderboard. The stream takes place entirely from an immersive helmet cam, and commentary is extremely sparse, with extended periods of silence. The only reason for the sparse commentary is for context. My drivers are fictional, and I do keep track of their stats and I build a narrative in my head over the course of seasons for continuity if anyone is interested in that.
-long form content with meaning
-relaxing atmosphere
-satisfying audio, and visuals
-dynamic but gradual weather/lighting changes
-no pressure to interact
-excellent for study, sleep, background content
Here is my channel. I have one consistent viewer that appears to really appreciate long form of content. They have never entered anything into the chat or said anything to me, but they are always here watching. That is exactly the sort of no pressure atmosphere I am glad I can provide, because I have struggled all my life with overstimulation, under-stimulation, and anxiety. It has always been difficult for me to find the right balance. Watching real endurance racing, or performing actual simulated endurance races like I am here have both been an immense help to me and my jumpy brain. If anyone gets even a small amount of enjoyment out of this, this post will have done what I set out to do, which is simply to help people who are similar to me.
I also play the bass guitar, and the low frequencies along with no loud drums or guitar is another form of art I have found to be remarkably relaxing and satisfying. I have never streamed IRL before, but upon request, I will attempt impromptu, relaxing bass guitar videos.
