    “Streamer” has been a widely-used entertainment-industry term for streaming companies for years. It’s not a new thing people are making up to be cute.

      For how long? First time I heard that term was when Vinesauce started streaming via Livestream around 2010-ish (I didn’t watch them during their Livestream days, wish I had; sounds like they had a neat setup).

      Edit: justin.tv originally launched in 2007, which would have potentially put it before Netflix’s announcement to start a streaming service.
