Young viewers are paying their favorite livestreamers’ bills. Livestreamers like Jovan Hill document their day-to-day lives and in turn, their fans pay them via PayPal and Venmo so the influencers can quit their jobs and keep streaming. Hill’s fans pay for his rent, thrift store tees, marijuana, video games, and more. Why? Because “pop culture is so boring now,” according to Hill, and his fans have created “a community based around [him].” (NYT)
