I've used both the Blue Yeti (Nano) and currently using a Shure SM57. I'm not an audio expert but here's my take on both of them for any aspiring streamers here.

The Blue Yeti is a USB mic. You just plug it in and then it works. Dead simple. It sounds good as well. It's the preferred choice of Youtube content folk and people who spend too much time on Discord. The downside IMO is that because it's a condenser mic (which a lot of people don't really know about) it is extremely sensitive. If you live in a noisy area/house and care about privacy I would probably stay away from a Blue Yeti. Oh and if you want to show off at an online meeting? Blue Yeti's got you,

The SM57, despite being called an instrument mic, is great for vocal stuff. This is literally the microphone of choice for a lot of politicians. It's well priced BUT you do need to get an audio interface for it which well set you back more monetarily. But it's damn great and quite frankly is a lot more practical than the SM7B. If you do end up with a cardioid mic though I would highly recommend getting a pop cover or filter.
