Reception

Mikey Glazer of TheWrap described the show as "rowdy, political and Jake Paul-hating" and described Jon Cozart's opening speech as "searing". [3] Talking to The Hollywood Reporter , Cozart described his job as host as "to dig into the Streamys and reveal the hypocrisy of the new media industry. I'm exposing us for what we are, which is a room full of narcissists with good intentions." [6] According to The Hollywood Reporter, two main themes of the night were politics and diversity. Director of Brown Girls Sam Bailey praised the show for focusing on creators saying "It really shows there is work done at home by individual people without a network behind them." [6]
