Reception

Rae Votta of The Daily Dot felt that 4th Streamy Awards were more polished than previous years, providing the show with a greater sense of legitimacy.[13] Votta as well as Mikey Glazer writing for TheWrap singled out Mamrie Hart's toast in dedication of Joan Rivers for praise with Votta describing it as "the evening’s most somber moment" and Glazer describing it as "an authentic and intimate salute" and a high point of the night. Votta and Glazer also both positively viewed the ending performance of the night by Starship.[13][21] Michael Andor Brodeur of The Boston Globe praised Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart in their role as hosts of the show, saying that they "did charmingly ironic impressions of award-show hosts, peppering their opening routine with product placements, feigning a musical number, and hacking the usual crowd roasting".[11] Evan DeSimone of NewMediaRockstars said of the show "As usual, the night featured a bunch of hilarious off-script moments and a few technical mishaps but nothing could derail the excitement of online video’s biggest night."[22]

Katie Buenneke, writing for the LA Weekly, criticized the amount of corporate influence on the show, contrasting the nature of YouTube as a platform for independent content creators with the "multiple shout-outs to Coca Cola, conspicuous integration of Samsung phones, and, most insidiously, the influence of producers like Endemol, Maker Studio and Fullscreen" at the show. However, she also noted "the night was filled with a sense of excitement about being part of a new way of connecting with audiences."[23]
