There is one streamer I follow who has 6600 active subscribers right now. His subs pay $4.99 a sub. And regularly had 20k+ viewers everyday.

This guy is a good example of a club. He is more akin in building a group of followers that like the same games. He even has a site dedicated in building this community. his stream is basically what facilitates a common identity.

The best way to think of it is paying to be a member of a private club to meet people to game with.
