Streaming is huuge!

Streaming is the future way of entertainment

I suppose you have not missed the trend of streaming. The kind I am referring to is Twitch.tv for example. The amount of total views each days on that site is astronomical! Jesus! 

Who has lost all these viewers? Since everyone is hanging out at Twitch. 

Television! Back in the days people used to watch a lot of TV. We were creating a schedule to fit in the specific times our favorite shows were on.

Now we can interract with the persons we are looking at. The chats are spammed on the popular streams. TV-shows got really bad statistics compared to just a few years back. Will TV as we know it even exist if this continues?
Or will they just disappear into these streaming services like Netflix?

As an example, one guy is called Lirik. I apologize if I am not remembering correctly but I think that he started out playing games on stream. Then DayZ came along. The mod for Arma2. 

He got rather good at that game and finished high in tournaments and stuff. Now though, it does not matter what he plays. 

He can pick up an Indie game and stream it and the Twitch community follows. When you check what games are currently popular you can see some shitty game that you never heard about BEING THE MOST WATCHED GAME! And then you can be sure that Lirik is currently online streaming that game.
Last night he had 58k viewers when I logged onto Twitch. That is a city full of people and it is not something competitive they are watching either. 

Games like Counter Strike and Dota2 are getting challenged by these characters like Lirik. The total views of big titles is about the same numbers as the people currently watching him.

These streamers are getting money from people that subscribes to their channel, people donating money to support them and commercial breaks they have while streaming. So the trend will not stop because these guys are likely to stop doing what they do.

We are probably witnessing the beginning of what will be the future of television. To be able to interract with the shows. 

There are not just gaming shows on Twitch. People have talk shows (podcasts live) and create music or drawings - and you can watch it LIVE! 

Cooking shows will come soon too if you ask me. Haven't we all wanted to tell the TV chef "This bullshit is not working! What am I doing wrong?!".

Using streaming I would be able to reach the chef in real time and get an explanation. Enough said!
