What Is a Streamer?
A streamer broadcasts their activities live to an online audience via streaming platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Kumu, and Twitch. They cultivate dedicated fan bases therein and usually earn income through donations, sponsorships, and advertising revenue.
Each streamer has a unique way of interacting and entertaining their viewers, most of which fall into the following categories:

Gamers are the most common type of Philippines streamers. They broadcast themselves playing video games while providing live commentary and reactions. In fact, the most popular streamer in the Philippines is a gaming channel!
2. Sellers
The rise of e-commerce and social selling is evident even in live streaming. Live sellers do product pitches and demonstrations in front of a virtual audience, taking advantage of the live format to engage potential buyers and encourage purchases.
3. IRL streamers
Short for “in real life,” IRL streamers offer their viewers a glimpse into their lives through candid and often unscripted content. Some produce live travel vlogs, while others stream and chat with their audience while cooking or taking a stroll.
4. Artists
Painters, illustrators, and musicians leverage streaming to showcase their art in real-time. Viewers can watch them work on their latest art, ask related questions, and request custom pieces. It’s an effective way to build and nurture a network of art enthusiasts.
5. Reactors
This category includes streamers who watch and react to viral videos, movie trailers, trending news, and other online content. Most offer unique commentary to spark lively discussions and debates among their viewership.
