I follow #FediLive, #Owncast and "PeerTube" on Mastodon and have noticed a surge of new streamers on both services over the last month or so and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well?

Most of all, I'm wondering why? Was there a decrease in server costs? Have they become easier to install? Maybe it's just more people realizing that they even exists? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see this, I'm just curious as to why it seems to be happening in such a dense amount of time?
