Neko started streaming in 2020 with a laptop and a $5 pair of earbuds. No webcam, no mic, no goal — just a creative outlet during the pandemic.

Five years later she's built the Neko Nation, gone from no cam to VTuber to full facecam, and still can't bring herself to stop even when she's convinced herself to.

MacYodaNL: The Mod's Perspective | Episode 3

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

What does a streamer look like from the inside of their chat? Today I sat down with Yoda — my mod of many years and a full-time mod across dozens of Twitch channels — to find out what he actually sees.

Yoda has watched streamers grow, plateau, burn out, and turn it all around. He's the one who notices when you're playing a game that's making you miserable before you do. He's been in chats with 30 viewers and chats with thousands, and he has thoughts about all of it.

This one is different. Every other guest tells their story from the inside. Yoda tells it from the chat.

Welcome to The Growth Raid | Episode 0

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:00:00 +0000

I've been part of the Twitch community for ten years — streaming, watching, and obsessing over how people build something real on this platform. Despite all that time, I never made Partner. But this past year, I watched people around me do it, and I had to know how.

That curiosity became The Growth Raid — a podcast about the real journey of growing on Twitch. Honest conversations, no fluff, no generic advice. Just creators talking about what actually moved the needle.

This is Episode 0. A quick intro to who I am and what this show is before we dive in.
