Your Mental Health Matters
Streaming can be incredible—and incredibly hard. We believe creator success includes mental wellness, not just diamond counts.

These numbers show why we take mental health seriously at goTether.

Views, likes, and follower counts become sources of stress rather than motivation.
Stop Comparing Your Chapter 1 to Someone Else's Chapter 20
Social media makes it easy to compare your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. This comparison game is rigged—and it's hurting creators everywhere.
Seeing others' highlight reels
Remember: you see their best moments, not their struggles
Obsessing over follower counts
Focus on engagement quality, not vanity metrics
Feeling behind in your journey
Everyone's path is different—compare yourself to yesterday's you
Copying what works for others
What works for them may not be authentic to you
Setting Boundaries Isn't Selfish—It's Survival
The creators who last are the ones who protect their energy. Here's how to set boundaries that work.
Set Streaming Hours
Define when you go live and when you're off. Communicate these to your audience.
Comment Boundaries
It's okay to ignore, delete, or ban negativity. Your mental health comes first.
Rest Days
Schedule days completely off from content creation. No exceptions.
Personal Life Privacy
You don't owe your audience every detail of your life. Keep some things sacred.
