Don't get into streaming if your goal is to make money. Even if you're blessed by the algorithm, it'll take months before you can even start earning revenue. Just do it as a hobby. If you enjoy it, keep at it and you'll eventually gain a following. Whether that following is big or small is mostly up to chance.

And you do NOT need to be attractive. You don't even need to show your face. Plenty of great streamers don't do face cam (Vinny Vinesauce, for example). There's also the VTuber route if you just don't like how you look but want to have some sort of visual representation of yourself.

The most important thing is to be entertaining. That can mean being funny, informative, charismatic, etc, or just plain good at the games you're playing. Some speedrunners barely talk at all and still get plenty of viewers.
