As a genXer I don’t get it either. The model at the moment referenced here makes much more sense to me at least.
Not understanding twitch is a real marker of shifts in generational mindsets. I think I understand tech, but I wouldnt invest in tech sectors as I clearly don’t have the instinct for it anymore.
I always did this. I let my friends play and I watched. Dunno why really. I still find it extremely hard to play single player games (or solo multiplayer), I just get bored. I need to either watch or play with a friend.

If my kids were unmonitored, they’d probably watch game streamers all day, every day.
I rationalize it like watching sports, but I don’t really understand that either.
When you were younger did you ever watch a sibling or a friend play a game? Same vibe, but it’s a streamer you find enjoyable or entertaining.
Does the streamer trick you into thinking you are controlling the enemies too?
My attention wanders if I’m not playing.
I totally understand that people might enjoy it, however. It just isn’t for me.

We fought because we both wanted to play. My father ended up buying two game systems.
