Host or Agent - which side of live streaming interests you more?
Recently, I learned about terms like “live streaming host” and “agent.” To be honest, I did not know before that these two roles are so different from each other.
As I understand it:
A host is a person who goes live, talks with viewers, and builds their own audience.
An agent works in the background. Their work involves finding hosts, supporting them, and managing the whole team. An agent can also hire sub-agents and become a coin seller. The earning potential for both roles is also different.
So, I want to ask people who have experience in live streaming:
Which role do you think is more difficult?
Coming in front of the camera and entertaining viewers regularly, or staying behind the scenes and managing and supporting many hosts and sub-agents?
And if you had to choose one of these roles for yourself, which one would you choose - Host or Agent?
I’d love to hear from people who have worked in either role.
