Some of the most popular streamers including our own Jimbo and Craig have both expressed recently that their motivation levels to play slots are less than they used to be.
The UK regulations limiting bonus buys, the advent of age gating to content (absolutely a good thing) and/or the increasing spin cycle times will no doubt have had an effect yet it seems that some of the biggest and most popular streamers are becoming jaded and disillusioned.
The newer and less popular streamers appear less affected by this apparent malaise and perhaps it is simply that there is a shelf life for affiliates where the growth in income tails off and the recurring income can be earned with almost no effort.
There are of course "factory" streamers such as Casino Daddy, Fruity Slots or Chipmonkz that just churn out repetitive crappy content with unerring regularity and the only thing matching the unoriginality are their feigned responses to the inevitable big wins.
Streaming appears to be a crossroads where it may be in danger of fizzling out unless there is something to invigorate it
