well it started to be a thing last summer when pokemon GO was all the craze
i think IRL should be solely streamers that go outside and do stuff.
streamers who just sit in front of their computer and talk to chat should be categorised under talk show, or given a new category.
those are semantics tho, ultimately twitch is going through a paradigm shift that youtube went through; at a certain point you're going to cater less to the original base and more toward the corporate base, and that means more appeal to family friendly safe spaces.
