Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Esports gaming companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, may have products that face rapid obsolescence, and are heavily dependent on the protection of patent and intellectual property rights. Such factors may adversely affect the profitability and value of video gaming companies. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. Fund investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries, and the value of Fund shares may risk and fall more than diversified funds. Foreign investing involves social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange- rate fluctuation, high volatility and limited regulation risks. Emerging markets involve different and greater risks, as they are smaller, less liquid and more volatile than more developed countries. Depository Receipts involve risks similar to those associated investments in foreign securities, but may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the underlying shares.

    The Political Economy of Live Streaming in China: Exploring Stakeholder Interactions and Platform Regulation Yuanbo Qiu A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2021 i Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Yuanbo Qiu February 2021 ii Abstract Watching online videos provides a major form of entertainment for internet users today, and in recent years live streaming platforms such as Twitch and Douyu, which allow individual users to live stream their real-time activities, have grown significantly in popularity. Many social media websites, including YouTube and Facebook, have also embedded live streaming services into their sites. However, the problem of harmful content, data misuse, labour exploitation and the burgeoning political and economic power of platform companies is becoming increasingly serious in the context of live streaming. Live streaming platforms have enabled synchronous interactions between streamers and viewers, and these practices are structured by platform companies in pursuit of commercial goals. Arising out of these interactions, we are seeing unpredictable streaming content, high-intensity user engagement and new forms of data ownership that pose challenges to existing regulation policies. Drawing on the frameworks of critical political economy of communication and platform regulation studies by Winseck, Gillespie, Gorwa, Van Dijck, Flew and others, this thesis examines regulation by platform and regulation of platform in a Chinese context.

  • Streamwiki: Enabling Viewers of Knowledge Sharing Live Streams to Collaboratively Generate Archival Documentation for Effective In-Stream and Post-Hoc Learning
    StreamWiki: Enabling Viewers of Knowledge Sharing Live Streams to Collaboratively Generate Archival Documentation for Effective In-Stream and Post-Hoc Learning ZHICONG LU, Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada SEONGKOOK HEO, Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada DANIEL WIGDOR, Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada Knowledge-sharing live streams are distinct from traditional educational videos, in part due to the large concurrently-viewing audience and the real-time discussions that are possible between viewers and the streamer. Though this medium creates unique opportunities for interactive learning, it also brings about the challenge of creating a useful archive for post-hoc learning. This paper presents the results of interviews with knowledge sharing streamers, their moderators, and viewers to understand current experiences and needs for sharing and learning knowledge through live streaming. Based on those findings, we built StreamWiki, a tool which leverages the availability of live stream viewers to produce useful archives of the interactive learning experience. On StreamWiki, moderators initiate high-level tasks that viewers complete by conducting microtasks, such as writing summaries, sending comments, and voting for informative comments. As a result, a summary document is built in real time. Through the tests of our prototype with streamers and viewers, we found that StreamWiki could help viewers understand the content and the context of the stream, during the stream and also later, for post-hoc learning. CSS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Collaborative and social computing → Collaborative and social computing systems and tools KEYWORDS Live streaming; knowledge sharing; knowledge building; collaborative documentation; learning ACM Reference format: Zhicong Lu, Seongkook Heo, and Daniel Wigdor.

  • Biggest Moneymaker’ in the $150 Billion Gaming
    Gaming is booming in China as the coronavirus means more time at home With the coronavirus still raging on in China and70,548 confirmed cases, and 1,770 deaths it is no wonder that much of China remains in lockdown. As a result, online gaming activity is setting record highs in China as more people spend more time at home. The implication for investors is that Chinese gaming-related companies should be in for a booming quarter when they next report results. While some of this is already priced into gaming stocks, should the coronavirus last longer more gains can be expected. Tencent rallies 10% in the past month as more Chinese stay at home gaming Last month when I wrote: “The Wuhan Coronavirus crisis leads to some investment opportunities” I mentioned that Chinese internet stocks can be possible winners including gaming and social media giant Tencent (OTC: TCEHY). The stock has rallied 10% since then. The longer the coronavirus has a significant impact then I expect the Tencent rally to continue. Game live streaming hours watched up 17% in January VentureBeat just reported that game live streaming was up 17% to nearly 500 million view hours in January 2020. The most popular streaming sites were Amazon’s Twitch (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) YouTube Gaming, Facebook Gaming (NASDAQ: FB), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Mixer. In China, Tencent backed Douyu and Huya will benefit from increased live streaming. Ironically Douyu’s headquarters is located in Wuhan, the center of the coronavirus epidemic. A game called ‘Plague Inc.’ has become highly popular and is like the real-life coronavirus threat Ironically one of the most popular games in China nowadays is titled “Plague Inc’.

  • A Model for Information Behavior Research on Social Live Streaming Services (Slsss)
    A Model for Information Behavior Research on Social Live Streaming Services (SLSSs) Franziska Zimmer(&), Katrin Scheibe(&), and Wolfgang G. Stock Department of Information Science, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany {franziska.zimmer,katrin.scheibe}@hhu.de, [email protected] Abstract. Social live streaming services (SLSSs) are synchronous social media, which combine Live-TV with elements of Social Networking Services (SNSs) including a backchannel from the viewer to the streamer and among the viewers. Important research questions are: Why do people in their roles as producers, consumers and participants use SLSSs? What are their motives? How do they look for gratifications, and how will they obtain them? The aim of this article is to develop a heuristic theoretical model for the scientific description, analysis and explanation of users’ information behavior on SLSSs in order to gain better understanding of the communication patterns in real-time social media. Our theoretical framework makes use of the classical Lasswell formula of communication, the Uses and Gratifications theory of media usage as well as the Self-Determination theory. Albeit we constructed the model for under- standing user behavior on SLSSs it is (with small changes) suitable for all kinds of social media. Keywords: Social media Á Social live streaming service (SLSS) Live video Á Information behavior Á Users Á Lasswell formula Uses and gratifications theory Á Motivation Á Self-determination theory 1 Introduction: Information Behavior on SLSSs On social media, users act as prosumers [1], i.e. both as producers of content as well as its consumers [2]. Produsage [3] amalgamates active production and passive con- sumption of user-generated content.
