I started streaming Sea of Thieves because I’m a bit of a completionist, and seeing those “Creator Crew” commendations unfinished really bugged me. I didn’t think streaming would take off — originally, it was going to be YouTube-focused — but I felt very welcomed by the community and some of the other Australian Sea of Thieves players, so I stuck with it.
I try to approach everything with a "warts and all" mentality. I don’t want to sugarcoat my experiences. There’s been a fair bit of content around players using exploits, but there’s also been a lot of humor too — and that’s really important to me. I always focus on good vibes, even in the face of negativity. My goal is to be a positive voice for the Sea of Thieves community.
People seem to enjoy the natural chaos and shenanigans that happen. Ever since the Grapple Gun was introduced, I’ve noticed people using the term “Wezzyboard” when they grapple onto other ships — and all the tomfoolery that comes from it.
Honestly, I don’t overthink it. I keep the energy upbeat, have a rough game plan, and make sure everyone feels welcome. I focus on keeping the conversation going and making sure viewers feel involved.
Finding a balance between work, life, and streaming has been my biggest challenge. Streaming comes fairly naturally thanks to my background in photography, videography, and music, but managing everything else around it can be tricky. I think most new streamers will experience that at some point.
Ragebait definitely gets attention. Whenever I post videos about exploiters, they tend to blow up. But honestly, that’s not the content I want to go viral. It’s important to highlight issues, but I’d much rather see funny or quirky moments take off — that resonates with me a lot more.
People love to see the “sweat” come out, but I’m probably the most accidental PvP'er I know. I rely on the Grapple Gun and sword, and I focus more on movement and disruption than direct combat — but it still makes a difference. No matter what happens, I always push for positive interactions. It’s always "GGs" at the end, win or lose.
One of the funniest moments was when Esteri raided me mid-burp — that became the famous "burp-raid," and my crew never lets me live it down!
Another huge moment was when Beardageddon raided me with around 500 viewers while I was deep in a sweaty PvP battle. I was minutes away from ending the stream, but I ended up going for another five hours. It was massive.
Community engagement is everything. As my following has grown, I’ve made it a priority to remember little details about people so they feel genuinely welcomed. They’re choosing to spend their most valuable resource — time — on me, and I want to make it worth it. Listening to feedback and involving the community has helped a lot.
Take your time. Find the stories you want to tell and lean into that.
If you’re a PvP Hourglass god, there’s already a big audience for that. If you’re more into Adventure Mode like me, it might be a slower grind — but the interactions and experiences are amazing, and honestly, that’s what it’s all about.
If you’re thinking about getting into Sea of Thieves content creation, now’s the time. There’s a bit of a lull right now (or maybe YouTube is just recommending me less), but I love seeing new creators jump in.
I’ve seen creators with incredible editing skills not get much traction and move on to other games — I’d just say, stick with it. If you keep hustling, your audience will find you.
GelaBoyesVT is definitely someone to keep an eye on — I think she’s got what it takes to be really big.
And being a bit cheeky — although she’s based in Canada now — Dassin__ is another fantastic creator who’s super entertaining.
We need to rally behind our Australian Sea of Thieves creators! We have such great humor and chill vibes, and it’s amazing to see that represented on screen. Aussie creators can absolutely match the entertainment value of the bigger names — we just need to show our support.
Streaming from Australia during local afternoon and evening hours definitely makes building a global audience harder. But if you stick with it and consistently put yourself out there across Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms, people will find you. You’ve got to treat it a bit like work sometimes and keep showing up.
I feel like I joined the Sea of Thieves community after the big initial boom, but there are still so many new players joining the game every day.
I hope creators keep welcoming and encouraging those new players. The game’s dynamics keep evolving, and I’m excited to see where Sea of Thieves streaming goes next.
I’m not a big fan of short-form content, but there’s no denying it works.
My "Grapple Gun Masterclass" YouTube Short just hit over 110,000 views, which feels amazing.
Once I get my internet upgraded, I plan to start streaming on TikTok alongside Twitch — I’m curious to see how it goes.
I think about this a lot.
The goal was never really to become a full-time content creator — I just love telling stories, no matter the platform.
I don’t plan to quit my day job either. I love getting out, meeting clients, and staying grounded in the real world. But creating content fuels the soul too. Getting that balance right is the ultimate goal.
On YouTube, people like HitboTC, Ma5on, and Welyn (who dabbled in Sea of Thieves) were big inspirations for me.
I’ve also been told I have similar energy to Beardageddon — that would be a super fun collaboration too.
Right now, I’m focusing on slow, steady improvements.
I’m trying to make streaming a consistent part of my life, aiming for 5% better each time, and tweaking things along the way.
I’ve got an amazing community around me, and I’m excited to see where things are by 2026.
