Live streaming mining is not DeFi, but it solves an old problem

When people see the words "mining," they reflexively think of high risk, complex mechanisms, and incomprehensible APY. But GateLive's live streaming mining this time is actually completely different from traditional mining.
It addresses an industry old problem:
 How to turn content platform engagement into real incentives?
In the past live streaming ecosystem, it relied either on tips or advertising, with ordinary users mostly as "spectators." But live streaming mining turns users from "viewers" into "system participants," even just entering the live room and engaging interactively can receive clear feedback.
This design has two implicit advantages:
 First, more stable returns. It does not depend on short-term price surges but relies on platform activity rhythms.
 Second, more controllable risks. No complex contracts, no mandatory lock-up, more like a form of "behavioral points."
From a personal strategy perspective, I wouldn't treat live streaming mining as a main source of income, but rather as an added value for idle time. I already watch live streams and follow market trends, so participating casually isn't low in cost-performance.
Especially during market volatility, this kind of gameplay can, to some extent, reduce the impulse for "boring trades," serving as a kind of emotional management tool. #GateLive直播挖矿公测开启
