You know what is hotter than July? That's right, it's livestreaming. Sorry Stevie. 

Streaming is now one of the most lucrative forms of entertainment on the planet. In just five years, the format skyrocketed from niché hobby, to becoming a regular staple for many.

Platforms like Twitch rule the roost, and gaming influencers such as Ninja and Dr DisRespect now hold the same sway as traditional entertainers.

In fact, leading streaming platform Twitch has amassed a daily userbase of 15 million viewers since its launch in 2011. If your kids aren't playing Fortnite, they're probably watching someone else play Fortnite.
