It really has to be looked at via a real world scenario of what would constitute something valuable vs not valuable, to get a definitive answer to the idea.

Say, a twitch streamer dies, and leaves the access keys to his account, stream setup, computer, etc. to one individual. One person might find value in the computer and keep the computer, and see no value in keeping an account of someone whom is dead, and have it deleted.

A completely different person may see no value in the computer and sell it since they have a better one, but keep the twitch account because there are still active subscribers and people subscribing. There's shit-tons of twitch accounts out there that don't really stream anymore, but see steady income because people like the emotes, and Twitch is okay with hooking the account to someone else because they don't want to see that income loss.

The perspective in value depends on the person who receives it. Quite literally the saying 'one man's junk is another man's treasure' rings true here. Since you can't actively measure the 'value' of one account on a service to another, they all get treated equally when written down as 'the keys to this person's something' as an asset. Whether those keys are to a broken down honda civic, or a lamborghini.


Who knows. Right now you may think of a Neopets account is valueless, literal garbage, they're free to make so just make another one. People had the same opinion of Pokemon cards about 10 years ago.
