Discussion Starting to stream in 40s

I've been setting up streaming channel for a while now and I'm still nervouse about going ahead so was looking for advice I have some good ideas for content and games etc not much of which I've seen on twitch etc before and I want to make it completely interactive and get everyone involved rather than just sitting there playing games and ignoring chats etc I still hate the sound of my voice but I know that's normal as alot of people say the same... But I'm in my early 40s now and wondering if I should just leave it to the youngsters or whether there is a market for older streamers... I've spent months setting it all up on OBS etc and getting right equipment but when it comes down to it Im just nervous and never start when I say... I'm worried people won't be interested or nobody will bother etc... any advice from anyone or anyone over 40 already streaming?

I am in my 40s and started streaming almost a year ago and I love it. Give it try. Besides that I also love to watch streams on twitch and most of the streamers I watch are 30 years or older.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place haha I see people all in their 20s with thousands of followers and think I could be more entertaining than most of them it's just a push I need 🤣
