Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.

When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites "streamers" came from but it always confuses me.

Yeah lets kill that stupid overlapping bullshit now

I for one will always call them streaming SERVICES. They aint people or real physical entities
