By and large, even people that are really good at the games they stream don't attract much of an audience if they don't interact with them. Most of the appeal of streaming is the parasocial relationship with the streamer: feeling like you're hanging out with a friend who's playing the game and chatting with you while they do it. Without that chat, you might as well just watch clips of the interesting parts on Youtube instead of sitting through the whole stream.

Yeah would never expect to make anywhere near a living off of it. But if you could get any kind of money for doing what you were going to anyways itd be a free bonus.
