DATSTREAM: EQUALITY IN STREAMING QUALITIES

Now in the 21st century, playing a video game has become a professional career, to generate revenue from such sector, streamers (gamer) need to broadcast game play activities on the internet to attract and satisfy their consumers. As a streamer(gamer), the revenue stream varies from advertising, subscriptions, platform promotion and donations from viewers as it is required that viewers generate revenue for these streamers as a form of reward for their creative content creation. But as a streamer, the current streaming and financial payment systems does not make it as simple as my introduction, instead these systems allows streamers to breed an audience/crowd and then begin to break a streamers revenue and tax individually due to different independent bodies in charge of different services which frustrates both the streamer and viewers.

PROBLEMS OF TRADITIONAL STREAMING SYSTEMS.

1. There is no one ecosystem that allows streamers and viewers to use and access multiple functionalities.

2. There are high rate of transaction fees that affects the transfer from electronic payments.

3. The absence of a flexible payment gateway that supports different modes of payment(paypal, yandex, etc.) and donations irrespective of a viewers choice or location.
