The 2nd Annual Streamy Awards were hosted by comedian Paul Scheer and streamed live online from the Orpheum Theatre on April 11, 2010. The production experienced technical problems and interruptions due to people streaking the stage.{{Cite web |last=Nicoletti |first=Karen |date=April 11, 2010 |title=Streamys Honor Best of Web Series |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/streamys-honor-best-web-series-22515/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709185957/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/streamys-honor-best-web-series-22515/ |archive-date=July 9, 2021 |access-date=July 4, 2021 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}} Scheer's jokes were also poorly received with audience members and influencers in attendance finding them unfunny, sexist and deprecatory of internet culture.{{Cite web |last=Broadley |first=Erin |date=April 12, 2010 |title=Porn Jokes vs. Net Neutrality: 2nd Annual Streamy Awards Backlash 'Echo Chamber' and the Future of Web as Entertainment Medium |url=https://www.laweekly.com/porn-jokes-vs-net-neutrality-2nd-annual-streamy-awards-backlash-echo-chamber-and-the-future-of-web-as-entertainment-medium/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809025908/https://www.laweekly.com/porn-jokes-vs-net-neutrality-2nd-annual-streamy-awards-backlash-echo-chamber-and-the-future-of-web-as-entertainment-medium/ |archive-date=August 9, 2020 |access-date=August 12, 2021 |website=LA Weekly |language=en-US}} Due to poor reception and execution of the show, the IAWTV halted its partnership with Tubefilter and co-production of the award ceremony and formed their own Web TV awards presentation.{{cite web|author=Aymar Jean Christian|url=http://tvisual.org/2012/12/17/on-giving-the-streamys-and-the-iawtv-a-chance/|title=On Giving the Streamys (and the IAWTV) a Chance| publisher=Televisual| date=December 17, 2012|access-date=February 4, 2013}}

Following the poorly received 2nd Streamy Awards, the Streamys went into hiatus for two years. During this time, in 2011, Tubefilter entered a partnership with established entertainment industry awards show producer Dick Clark Productions (producers of the American Music Awards, among others) to co-produce the 3rd Streamy Awards in an attempt to repair the award's legitimacy.{{Cite web |last=Carrie |first=Stephanie |date=February 19, 2013 |title=Streamy Awards: Online Video's Biggest Night Accepts Old Hollywood Into the Fold |url=https://www.laweekly.com/streamy-awards-online-videos-biggest-night-accepts-old-hollywood-into-the-fold/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121050948/https://www.laweekly.com/streamy-awards-online-videos-biggest-night-accepts-old-hollywood-into-the-fold/ |archive-date=2021-01-21 |access-date=August 12, 2021 |website=LA Weekly |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Wallenstein |first=Andrew |date=August 15, 2012 |title=Streamys revamped for 2013 return |url=https://variety.com/2012/digital/news/streamys-revamped-for-2013-return-1118057878/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405041919/http://variety.com:80/2012/digital/news/streamys-revamped-for-2013-return-1118057878/ |archive-date=2013-04-05 |access-date=July 4, 2021 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Block |first=Alex Ben |date=August 5, 2011 |title=Dick Clark Productions Joins Tubefilter to Produce Streamy Awards |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dick-clark-productions-joins-tubefilter-219903 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720220705/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com:80/news/dick-clark-productions-joins-tubefilter-219903 |archive-date=2012-07-20 |access-date=January 2, 2019 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en}} They were held in 2013 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and livestreamed across YouTube and multiple streaming networks simultaneously.{{Cite news |last=Daniel |first=Hurwitz |date=February 17, 2013 |title='Burning Love' is big winner at Streamy Awards |url=https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/02/17/streamy-awards-winners-burning-love/1927211/ |access-date=July 8, 2021 |work=USA TODAY |language=en-US}} Commentators noted the show's increased professionalism but some creators such as Felicia Day criticized the shift towards acceptance of old media.

The 4th Streamy Awards were hosted by Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart and were held on September 7, 2014 at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills. The event introduced ten new award categories, including one for the short-form video website Vine, and featured fan-voted submissions for the first time.{{Cite web |last=Hamedy |first=Saba |date=July 9, 2014 |title=Fourth annual Streamy Awards opens submissions |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-4th-annual-streamy-awards-20140708-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140709203402/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-4th-annual-streamy-awards-20140708-story.html |archive-date=2014-07-09 |access-date=July 4, 2021 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=DeSimone |first=Evan |date=August 18, 2014 |title=Here Are Your 2014 Streamy Award Nominees |url=https://newmediarockstars.com/2014/08/here-are-your-2014-streamy-award-nominees/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819182032/http://newmediarockstars.com/2014/08/here-are-your-2014-streamy-award-nominees/ |archive-date=2014-08-19 |access-date=August 12, 2021 |website=NewMediaRockstars |language=en-US}} A toast dedicated to the recently passed-away Joan Rivers was described as "the evening's most somber moment" and "an authentic and intimate salute".{{Cite web |last=Votta |first=Rae |date=September 8, 2014 |title=Streamys award the best of YouTube and Vine |url=https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/streamys-2014-awards/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181221062956/https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/streamys-2014-awards/ |archive-date=2018-12-21 |access-date=July 8, 2021 |website=The Daily Dot |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Glazer |first=Mikey |date=September 9, 2014 |title=Inside the Streamys: 'Any YouTuber Who Touched This Mic Tonight Is a Millionaire' |url=https://www.thewrap.com/inside-the-streamys-any-youtuber-who-touched-this-mic-tonight-is-a-millionaire/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140912232536/http://www.thewrap.com/inside-the-streamys-any-youtuber-who-touched-this-mic-tonight-is-a-millionaire |archive-date=2014-09-12 |access-date=July 6, 2021 |website=TheWrap |language=en-US}} But the show was also criticized for being more corporate, with the inclusion of product placement and shout-outs to large companies.{{Cite web |last=Buenneke |first=Katio |date=September 8, 2014 |title=Money Wins and Sponsors are Everywhere at the Streamys YouTube Awards |url=https://www.laweekly.com/money-wins-and-sponsors-are-everywhere-at-the-streamys-youtube-awards/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201019205926/https://www.laweekly.com/money-wins-and-sponsors-are-everywhere-at-the-streamys-youtube-awards/ |archive-date=2020-10-19 |access-date=August 12, 2021 |website=LA Weekly |language=en-US}}
