Are they calling Streaming Sites Streamers? I'm confused.
Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.
When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites "streamers" came from but it always confuses me.
Yeah lets kill that stupid overlapping bullshit now
I for one will always call them streaming SERVICES. They aint people or real physical entities
What? Have you never been a streamee?
We called them streaming services. Calling them stream-ers sounds like the media is trying to make them sound cuddly and non hostile.
