I've seen some people debate whether "meta" means "applying a concept to itself" or "most effective tactic available". In gaming, both kind of make sense. But in the context of business models for twitch streams, only the second definition works. (even though it originated from the word "metagame", where "meta" wasn't an acronym)
Mm, I think the first also works. Because the meta of twitch requires a shift in thinking from "I am doing a thing, that happens to be on the platform twitch" into "how does the platform of twitch work as a platform, and what actions can I take to manipulate the platform to do what I want it to do."
Shifts of not only content you like to make -> content that gets max views, but also making content when its convenient -> make content during specific peak hours, etc.
