think about the future of monetization and the broadly accessible ways it will be distributed and now envision yourself making a sales pitch to your client, who often doesn't need you at all and most likely is underaged/dumb. seems like a terrible area to find value.
streamers these days are pretty good about using their social media (twitter/instagram/youtube/facebook) so trying to improve margins on that front to capture more ad opportunity requires an expertise in marketing that you'd already need to have proven in other areas. if anything your business proposal is really something that already exists, being captured by people who are really good at internet marketing, so if you want to ask why it isn't as prevalent in video games slash esports then maybe the better question is asking what the trends are with companies advertising in that space. if *anything* maybe the better idea is being the liason for companies that are not currently invested in the space and then being the person that links them to the twitch world, not the other way around.
The ones who are successful are good at using it but there are a lot of people for whom their inability to promote is the missing piece of the puzzle. Or people with some success who could be doing better. Proving value isn't easy if you're just expecting them to give you a piece for your services. If you're willing to effectively buy a piece of their business though it's just a matter of whether you can agree on valuation.
And you're right in it probably already does exist. I've watched a few successful streamers allude to the team of people they have working for them and I'm sure the earlier they got on board the more favorable their cut is.

Could you explain your idea about sending Amazon a cease and desist tho? I know you didn't think any of this through and are kinda ad hoc constructing an argument to save face on the backend, but I need a good laugh.
Ahh, so your legal advice is a reference to a 120 year old book.
I didn't say anything about sending a cease and desist letter (those were your words) - just that amazon would be willing to cooperate if the contract is legally enforceable and still you haven't given any rationale whatsoever for why it wouldn't be.
If you have nothing to say, why do you keep responding?
