Never watched a stream, never really understood the motivation. But i also don’t consume social media (besides lemmy) or such and am generally anti-social, so that might be that.
I would be infuriated if those people wouldn’t do what I would do. Also the chat is… Annoying.
I do shit with my life other than gaming. If I want to experience a cool game without spending the money and without investing the time to get good at the game, it’s a no-brainer to watch a playthrough done by a professional gamer and a professional live commentator like the best streamers are.
That makes sense. As someone who never saw the appeal in watching sports, this is probably the same league.
But somehow it’s like watching porn when one isn’t in the mood for actual sex 😁

The wisdom of streams is simple.
