Comment on iCarly was a streamer before streaming was even really a thing.

  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.
