We’ve had our eye on live streaming app YouNow for some time, and some of the teens who use the platform are achieving stardom, being offered brand sponsorships, receiving free merchandise, and taking home a sizable salary, all thanks to the hours they devote to broadcasting their lives. YouNow currently has over 100 million users. Unlike Periscope, videos are in selfie mode, putting its most popular broadcasters front and center. One of its most beloved users, 15-year-old Zach Clayton, has 510,000 followers and, due to YouNow’s monetary system, has the potential to make $50,000 a year. (Slate)
