Woman who has live streamed constantly for three years opens up about the impact it has on her life

A live streamer who has streamed every single day for the last three years has revealed all in a new interview.

EmilyCC, 28, is a marathon streamer, which is a person who streams for long periods of time - usually between a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

However, Emily has taken a different approach and has broadcast every second of her life for her thousands of fans.

As of right now, the Twitch creator holds the record for the longest continuous stream on the platform, and she has no plans to slow down.

However, the lack of privacy has come with a personal cost, and in an interview with The Washington Post, she bared all.

She told the publication that she had a dream to be married and to buy a home by the age of 30, but now that she is two years away from her goal age, she has said that she is just too busy to obtain those things.

As she has been streaming for so long, it meant that she hasn’t dated or even engaged in causal flings during this time.

Emily is constantly online and has even had to turn down personal invites to weddings and celebrating Christmas or her birthday to keep up her streak.

But after making $5.99 per month per subscriber, it’s a lucrative job.

While she didn’t disclose how much she makes, she did tell the Post: “You can have the best month of your life on Twitch, and you can have the worst.”

According to Streams Charts, her income is estimated to be around $5,000 a month thanks to her constant streaming.

With no days off, Emily has become a big figure in the community, but what affect has that had on her?

According to the woman, who joined Twitch in 2016 at just 19 years old, it’s hard.

She explained how sometimes she doesn’t want to wake up and entertain her subscribers, and that when she feels too depressed, she’ll stay in bed for hours while her subscribers watch her.

However, she cannot simply take a break, as this could be ‘career suicide’ for her as some of those who watch her have already complained that she sleeps too long, doesn’t do as many fun things as she should or even showers too long for their liking.

This cuts her time to herself pretty slim each day.

To this, she explained that people ‘are expecting more all the time’. She said: “I’m like: What more do you want?”

She even streamed on the day she broke up with her boyfriend, and then began her first streaming challenge to win more subscribers by hosting a marathon event.

She said: “It's forcing myself to do things I don't want to do because I want this stream to work. I want it to work so bad that I just don't care anymore.”

Emily shared that her relationship with her parents has been impacted as they can’t understand why she streams constantly, but she can’t show how sad she is as viewers become uncomfortable with the emotional display, and instead retreats to the bathroom when she reaches breaking point.

“If I was always live, I didn't have to think about things,” she said. “I just want to be awesome as possible.”
