How would it be too late? To develop a huge following? Idk, buy if you just want to stream for the hell of it, I don't see how that matters. I've not gamed much the last few years, but I started again recently, upgraded my computer, and my ISP bumped my upload speed (finally), so I can stream without it impacting my game play.
I turn it on if I remember, but since I'm streaming just because why not (maybe I'll find someone new to game with or maybe someone will be amused by my shitty skills), I don't do it regularly and have no regular followers, as such, I forget to check the chat and have often had people join and type and then leave, presumably because I ignored them (or I'm just not worth watching).
OK a lot of rambling, I guess the summary is, stream because you want to, not because you want a following/make money and then it's definitely not too late, but also don't ignore the people who join your stream.
