You’ve probably heard of Twitch – you know, that American live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, they’ve been the focus of a study which finds its top 1,000 streamers generate 46% of its viewing hours! While the service prioritises video games, there are a range of different types of content there such as esports competition broadcasts, live music online streams, creative content, and “in real life” streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report continues, \u201cif you dial it down to the top 1000, they represented 46% of the hours watched with the top 100 responsible for 20%. No matter how you slice it, those in the top 1% and less are attracting a lot of the eyeballs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
