Don't they almost always do that, though? I don't know, I don't really pay attention to streamers, but I was under the possibly mistaken impression that streamers tend to have a group of employees doing all the tech shit (like editing), "research" and marketing, and even things like makeup for them. At least once they are big enough to make a decent living off it. That's not the case?

They are petite bourgeoise with or without workers under them, as self-employed individuals and not proletarianized they fall into the broad category of petite bourgeoisie, such as artisans. They cease to be petite and become haute when they have enough capital to live off of the labor of others, and work by choice to maximize earnings, rather than necessity, so Mr. Beast would fall into haute bourgeoisie.
