The Internet version of QVC or Home Shopping Network that previous generations used to watch.
TBH, I could see a viable angle in livestream-style QVC... with the proviso that the presenters are usefully interactive.
"Can you turn to the side so I can see how the shirt you're selling shirt looks from that angle" or "what do those four buttons on the doodad do?" It's approaching the experience of a store with helpful salespeople, only delivered remotely a la peak pandemic.
But that wouldn't scale to a huge audience, likely filled with trolls trying to convince the streamer to do something lewd or destructive.
