Twitch is certainly that way as well.

The median viewer count is likely single digits.

Though I can say with considerable certainty that a lot of wannabe Twitch streamers think that being a streamer just means having people watch you play a game, which may be true for story-driven games that don't get a lot of viewers, since it creates a more movie-like experience, and may be true for highly-competitive games where you can watch someone make amazing plays. But for the rest, you need to have the charisma and creativity to create entertaining commentary and audience interaction.

Nobody wants to watch an average Joe play World of Warcraft.

In the Justin.tv days, the median viewer count was zero: At any given time, 2/3 of the live channels had literally nobody watching.

I was proud of my JTV channel. I actually used to vlog and chat to people. They regularly featured me too. I wonder how much I could have made in today’s market..
