I'd put Twitch up there.
The idea that a huge number of people will watch other people play video games and you can sustain an economy by donations and subscriptions was probably crazy at the time.
I'm not even talking about watching professional gaming tournaments. Starcraft already set the precedent for e-Sports watching. I'm talking about someone with a webcam in a basement type of content that garners a massive number of viewers.

- brudgers 3y agoThe technology started out for streaming Justin's daily life.
