Abstract

As an emerging online media for entertainment and social contact, live streaming already has a considerable market after its boom in recent years. On a live streaming platform, as content providers and the agents of providers, streamers and unions are the two most important roles on the supply side. Once streamers join a union, they will be paid according to the union’s compensation mechanism instead of directly paid by the platform.
