If you don't know what twitch is it is a website where ppl broadcast themselves playing video games. 

I've been streaming on twitch since 2014 first on my ps4 and about a month ago I built my own pc and started streaming on there so I could make it look better then it looks on the ps4. My reason for streaming on twitch has never been for money or to make a career of it. It been to meet ppl and talk to them about gaming. I also don't really care for the fact that people kind of make their living on Twitch by people's generosity and if your popularity kind of dies out then your livelihood kind of dies out as well. that's just me though.

I used to have a lot of friends who I would stay up late with and play video games with but as the years went on people grow up get jobs and become too busy. I am unemployed at the moment so I have a lot more time than my friends to play video games so I use twitch as a way to interact with people who have the same interest in video games as I do and kind of make gaming a little bit more interesting for me.

So one day I was watching twitch while in a party with a female friend of mine's and I was telling her how much a few girl streamers are making on the website and she was saying that since she is in college she wouldn't mind making some extra money on Twitch to help her with her College.

I told her that if she started streaming and had a camera that her streams are probably going to do well because girl gamers tend to do well on the website these days. So she gets her stream setup and she builds herself a computer and start streaming after a month she becomes a twitch affiliate and has already started to get donations subscribers and bits. 

At first it doesn't bother me because I knew that it would play out like this but I think it started to bother me when she would suggest that we play games together to help both our twitch streams and we would play a game together and her chat with start to blow up with 15 20 30 I think the max being 50 people that I remember coming into her stream and chatting while no one came to mine even though we would put up a multi twitch so more people can watch both streams at once.

So after about a week of doing dual streams with her a pattern started where we would start streaming her chat with start to get Lively and me and her would stop talking because she was pretty much just communicating with her chat and I was pretty much just playing the game in silence the pattern ended with me saying that I wasn't really feeling that great and then I would leave because I was in a bad mood I didn't want to be rude to my friend and say something that would be mean because I was upset about her successful twitch Channel and she noticed this and asked me about it and I was honest with her and told her that I was a little jealous of her success on Twitch even though it didn't seem like she had put that much work and effort into her twitch stream as I had. And that it was in no way her fault I know it's just the way the website is and it's annoying.

At first she seemed to be understanding and agree feel bad about it but as we kept talking I pretty much said that it sucks because the only reason that your Twitch is blowing up so quickly is because you're a girl with a camera playing video games. And that's when she got really upset saying that people come to her streams because she's a good Entertainer and has a great personality. Which I told her I do believe but her being a girl with the camera is the first thing that people see when they're scrolling through Twitch and that is what causes them to click on her Channel at first.

So she was upset about this and we have not talked for about 2 weeks AITA for trying to be honest with my friend about what my problem was?

I did apologize because I didn't want to ruin my friendship over something that I knew was small in the grand scheme of things. But the situation still kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

TL:DR female friend start streaming years after me and is more successful even though less effort was put in. I am jealous and tell her about it honestly when she asked me about it. At first she's understanding then becomes upset when I say her success is because she's a girl.
