iCarly was just a follower of JenniCam and AmandaCam from the late 90’s and camgirls/camboys/cammers in the early 2000’s.

Yeah, a lot of things existed way before they got mainstream.

JenniCam’s existence was mainstream, it was talked about on all the morning news/late night talk shows as human interest/disguised mocking/outright derision.

I’d argue if something needs to be talked about in news/late night talk shows as a curiosity it’s not mainstream.
Today, streaming is totally mainstream and the concept is not something that would appear in news/late night talk shows unless there’s something specifically extrodninary (e.g. a death) that happens in the context of streaming. But the concept of streaming on its own is so commonplace, that it wouldn’t be talked about in TV.
