Thomas Wilde from an article about Twitch’s growth and the rise of “sleep streaming”:
One peculiar blip on Twitch’s radar in March came from the sudden rise of “sleep streaming,” where popular streamers film themselves while they’re napping. Two streamers in particular, Ludwig Ahgren and Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo, clocked in about 2 million hours watched in March where neither of them were actually conscious at the time.
I saw Amouranth sleeping on stream when I was browsing the popular page on Twitch the other day and thought it was weird. I didn’t realize it was actually a thing though.
This sounds very weird and very creepy. I don’t know why anyone would want to do this, or why anyone would want to watch this…
