The internet subculture of trash streamers: values, popularity, and monetization aspects
Abstract
In Internet culture, there is an increasing mention of the phenomenon known as "trash streams," which are live broadcasts on online platforms. The government is currently making efforts to legally restrict the spread of such content due to its destructive nature and the public display of socially dangerous acts. This article explores approaches to defining the term "trash streams" as an Internet subculture and analyzes the subculture of trash streamers and their audiences in terms of the specific values they promote, the role of monetization in their activities, and the popularity of such communities on the Internet.
