Wow, what a documentary. Wound up watching this on Amazon and it amazed me. The movie shows several of these people’s private lives and how they make a living just basically showing off on live streaming and getting paid directly from viewers for it! Some sing, dance, or just talk and fans send them money live. I don’t know about conversion rates but some of them make what we would call “The Big Bucks.” Interestingly, they don’t really do anything. At least in the film, it doesn’t show streamers doing tutorials, reviews or stuff like that on their channels. It shows a weird (and to most of us) an underground online world where people just doing miscellaneous stuff in front of a camera make a living. And some of them make a more than serious amount of money doing it. Definitely worth a watch, when you’re in the mood.
