Twitch streamers also retain ownership of their content which is often repackaged for revenue on YouTube.

Twitch is really the least employee vs employer relationship as payment is essentially independent of specific actions preformed by the streamer. It’s not like a streamer is paid to beat a boss, or even play a specific game it’s a question of entertaining people.

IMO it’s the closest to a ‘new economy‘ out there, though sharing roots with earlier real time online performers (porn).
