Watchable. The documentary's about one social phenomenon: livestreaming on yy.com but you learn much more about China: staggering pay gaps between the rich and the poor and loneliness of everyone in the society. The profiteers and stock traders spend about a thousand times more than regular fans earn. And it's funny how it works: the poor fans provide admiration for the star and for the patrons who crave it so badly they spend big to be appreciated. And the fake online world fills the human void for all of them. What the documentary lacks is info what the streamers actually do, how often and how long it takes. The focus is on the online star-patrons-fans triangle and its financial workings.
