Boosting the underdogs: Unraveling how prevailing streamer visits drive revenue for emerging streamers on livestreaming entertainment platforms
Livestreaming entertainment (LSE) platforms have become increasingly popular for real-time social interaction. While high-status actors (prevailing streamers) attract large audiences, new streamers often struggle with visibility and earnings. This study examines how social capital transmission from high-status actors affect emerging streamers' live revenue, using Social Capital Theory and Arousal Theories as frameworks. We analyzed data from 52,010 emerging streamers over two weeks on a major LSE platform. The research shows that visits from established streamers significantly increase new streamers' revenue. This positive effect is notably stronger when new streamers have shown good past performance and belong to top guilds and visiting established streamers have strong performance records and actively interact during their visits. Our findings contribute to LSE platform research by highlighting the supportive role of established streamers. These insights can help platforms develop strategies to enhance platform vitality, diversify content, support emerging streamers' growth, and foster a more sustainable streaming ecosystem.
