Maybe this is pessimism, but calling streamers "creators" feels like a perverse label.
- chmod775 5y agoWhy?
- daenz 5y agoBecause they entertain, making them primarily entertainers. We should reserve labels like "creators" for people who are actually building things, not streaming their lives on camera for an audience.
- wiseowise 5y agoThey're creating content though.
