Why do they keep giving the word "streamers" new meanings??
A streamer is someone who streams, as in Twitch streamers.

What’s up, streams. You been streaming today? I stream every day, stream on brother
Did you know that the word "Run" has hundreds of definitions? Like, more then 600 depending on who you ask.
wow never thought about that!
Is it in the running for most useful word, or have we just run out of words?
I don't know, they should run some studies on it.
I agree, I've always known them as subscribers, not streamers
Using it to describe streaming services isn't new. For example, here's a Variety article from 2019 that uses it that way.
Let's discriminate the term further by calling the producer the "stream source" and the consumers the "stream sink".
We now have "sourcers" and "sinkers". Thank me later. Or don't.
That's the usage you're familiar with. But even if it was widely accepted at some point, the meaning can change over time. That's normal, that's what languages do. If you complain about shit like that, you sound like my 80 year old father.
Because "streamers" existed before Twitch? 🤷♂️
Yeah for paper ribbons
If you say so...
