Video game livestreaming

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Video game livestreaming has made up a big part of my childhood and is still part of my life now. I've watched thousands of hours of livestreams in the past and eventually had the opportunity to work in the industry as well. I also believe that it makes up a huge part of internet culture and should be covered more accurately and thoroughly.

Evaluate the article
I think that the article currently has a good outline for how the finished page should look, but it's not close to being done. There are few peer reviewed sources on this page and most references are from general news articles online. The article's main strength is that it has most major areas of video game livestreaming listed throughout the page, but these subcategories are very lacking in content. The article is underdeveloped. What is currently on the page is written well, but needs more academic resources and more information to fill out the page. The talk page is very inactive with the last post on there created in 2020, but updates have been more active with almost 2-3 edits made to the page every month. There is some irrelevant material in the article that seems to be there just to fill in space.
