Youtube was founded in 2005 and is widely recognized as the king of online video. Youtube dominates all areas of online video, bar one: gaming live streaming. This is dominated by Youtube’s central competitor, Twitch. Twitch was formed in 2011 and is generally used for gaming live stream.
Both Youtube and Twitch have enabled persons to form a career by becoming streamers. As a channel grows, Youtube will grant access to Google Adsense. Twitch.tv is similar and runs ads intermittently. Becoming a streamer might just be a hobby for some but, as a United States citizen who is earning an income whether it be through streaming or any other profession then you’ll have to acknowledge taxes.
