LIVE AT THE GAY VILLAGE

On his last Manchester day, Daniel attempted an outdoor IRL livestream, walking through a park, Gay Village, Chinatown and Deansgate. He felt intensely nervous, hid the camera, avoided buildings over weak signal and copyrighted music, and struggled to speak. Viewer numbers did not improve; discouraged, he considered abandoning Scotland livestreams for edited vlogs and returning home.

Anxiety and weak audience response reinforce retreat from IRL experimentation toward safer, drama-driven home broadcasts.
