China’s live streaming industry has gotten so big that the market is now valued at $11 billion — bigger than the country’s film industry. By comparison, Twitter’s live streaming platform Periscope claims only around 10 million users worldwide while the top five Chinese live stream apps have more than 85 million active users.

Qi Ru, a 19-year-old student in China, has been able to capitalize on this trend and build a large following online through her live stream channel. She told ABC:
“Everybody feels they have some sort of talent but nowhere to express it. So it’s good to be able to use your smartphone to show your talent off and have everybody recognise you.”
The interesting thing is that most of these top streamers are not producing intricate content — they’re simply holding up their phones and talking to their viewers, often from the comforts of their own bedrooms.
When asked what she thinks of the allure that some of the top livestream stars may have, Qi thinks that looks play a huge role:
“Perhaps if your work is stressful, watching pretty women on your smartphone can let you relax a little bit.”
Tracey Xiang, a journalist based in Beijing says that viewer demographic is mostly men, which makes up of two-thirds of the market.
“The audience doesn’t care what sort of content is streamed, they just care that they are [watching] good looking ladies,” Xiang told ABC.
