    I watch two streams, one cooking stream, and one foodtruck stream. The cooking stream has a slightly younger average age of probably mid to late 20, streamers are 40ish. The foodtruck has employees and customers mostly in their early 20s, average chat age is probably around 30 to mid 30s (our oldest mod is in his 50s, another has 3 more years). It’s always fascinating how wildly different the normal twitch demographics are :D
