A marathon livestream whose duration is directly extended by viewer subscriptions, with each new subscription adding a fixed amount of time to the broadcast, converting audience payment directly into a streamer's continued live labor.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"His subathon ended up running for eleven straight days because the timer kept getting extended."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged as a Twitch broadcast format in the late 2010s once streamers began tying subscription counts directly to a visible countdown timer, creating a genuinely new relationship where paying viewers literally purchase additional hours of a creator's real-time work.
