STM only applies to uploads, except for 200Mb Gaming, and Homeworks+ which have no STM.

Twitch if you want to stream to that only allow a maximum of 3.5Mb, IIRC Youtube are the same and when you actually play games the most I have seen any game use is 1Mb to 2Mb so it's not, worth it for that.

It's totally worth it for steaming because on VM uploads are capped. After uploading 3000MB a VIVID 200Mb user will have their upload throttled to just over 4Mbps for 2 hours. That doesn't leave much headroom for your gaming and VoIP traffic. Also some services allow streaming 4K @ 60fps, which will require several times the bandwidth of Twitch.
