Ghost OG87

30/04/2026

Saturday morning, The Lounge is opening early. ☕🎮

I’ll be live with some coffee, a chill morning vibe, and The Last Caretaker — an open-water survival game where you play as a robot trying to help save humanity.

Nothing crazy. No pressure. Just a relaxed weekend stream, good conversation, coffee, and some gaming after the week is handled.

Come hang out if you’re up.

Welcome to The Lounge.

The rebrand is officially in full effect.

GhostOG87 is now After The Day Gaming — a more relaxed, real-life-first gaming channel built around chill streams, weekend coffee, good vibes, and a place to unwind when the day is handled.

I’m not trying to be the loudest stream on Twitch. I’m building a place people can hang out, relax, laugh, talk, and enjoy some games without pressure.

So if you’re into chill games, survival games, horror, co-op streams, random fun, and a laid-back community…

Welcome to The Lounge.

Come check out the new channel vibe:

‼️FUL TWITCH CHANNEL RE BRAND‼️

Big change.

My Twitch channel has officially been rebranded from GhostOG87 to AfterTheDayGaming.

This isn’t just a name change. It’s a new chapter.

I started streaming years ago during a very different season of life. Streaming helped me through a lot, including getting sober and finding something positive to focus on. That version of me wasn’t bad — it helped build who I am today.

But life looks different now.

I’m a husband, a dad, working full-time, and honestly happier and more grounded than I’ve ever been. The channel needed to reflect that.

AfterTheDayGaming is about real life first, gaming when the day allows. Chill games, fun games, weekend coffee streams, random nights when I have the energy, and a relaxed place to hang out.

New chapter. Same me — just better.

All this to stream to 1-5 viewers at a time.

Does it get to me sometimes. YES
Do I let it keep me from streaming. NO
Will eliminating ads for small streamers like myself increase views... Probably not.

But not having ads gives us small streamers a chance to engage more and have a chance. We aren't streaming to a big enough crowd to make money of ads...and honestly I don't care to make money off ads.

If anything the ads are making money off the streamer.

My channel is a little over 400 followers. And maybe 10% of them actually watch my streams.

I enjoy every person that comes in. Having a chat, talking about whatever and enjoying the engagement. So to those few who do stop in, THANK YOU!

I'm seeing some "streamers" don't agree with my outlook but I am not the only one battling it. I just have the balls to call Twitch out on the bu****it. I have nothing to lose on twitch. There's plenty of other platforms.

If you're a small streamer... Say something. Let it be heard you're tired of being treated like a big profit streamer. Some of us stream to just have fun and IF some cash flow comes in. Great.

Ads for small streamers is hurting engagement for us. Twitch stop treating a person who has 50 followers, 3 avg viewers and has stream more than 4 times in a week.

That's a fresh streamer that just hit affiliate....that's the criteria to become affiliate...

If you're a streamer... 👀Take a look please.

Had a little talk with ChatGPT

🧠 The Smarter Approach a Twitch CEO Should Take

1. No ads until a streamer proves traction
Small streamers should not have ads at all. Period.
Instead:
Let them grow without friction
Let viewers discover them cleanly
👉 Ads should be a reward for momentum, not a gate at the door

2. Unlock ads based on engagement, not just Affiliate status
Affiliate is way too easy to hit:
50 followers
3 avg viewers
A few streams
That’s basically still “starting out”
🎯 A More Reasonable Ad Threshold System

Here’s what would actually make sense:
🟢 Tier 1 – Growth Phase (NO ADS)
Under:
500–1,000 followers
