摘要

Streaming finishes this section of modes of reach as the most dynamic and production-intensive of the four within the platform era. By looking at how this mode blends personal engagement, community-building, and public participation into a unified, interactive experience, we can understand how celebrities use streaming platforms and how we can be more effective and thoughtful when using these websites. Through case studies such as Jeremy Harrington’s Jerma985 Dollhouse, Twitch’s revival of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, and Rachell Hofstetter’s (Valkyrae) community-building efforts, we explore how streamers foster collective identity, creativity, and participatory culture. Collaborations within these spaces allow us to see that streaming is the pinnacle of digital engagement, providing a model for how digital culture evolves through collaboration, spontaneity, and connection.
