Have you seen many of the Method raiders? Hardly out of shape. Do you ever watch a youtube video for raid tips? This is the live version, especially with Limit’s stream and sharing of comms. There is a lot to learn from these streams.
Your question says more about you than the answers will about the community. You should have rolled troll instead of goblin. Sigh, I fed the troll.
I only watch streamers if I feel like I need some insight on some aspect of a game, for instance I may watch someone stream arena if I am trying to improve but hit a roadblock.
I don’t appreciate the whole out of shape guy comment, I think it’s in bad taste. How is someone’s physical state at all related to watching them play a game? Would it make more sense to you if everyone commented saying they only watch male streamers with ripped abs? Seems like a mean, cheap shot to be honest.
You are responding to people that have never been competitive at anything in their own life. Anyone that thinks football is a baby boomer thing is obviously not clued into reality.
So is ASMR of someone eating pickles. I would rather listen to that than watch streamers. The sycophancy of people who watch streamers is really off the charts. When someone or a friend cites a streamer, my opinion of them automatically sinks but I don’t tell them outloud.
Do you watch any type of sporting event at all on television? Think people who watch twitch streams are basically doing the same as that it’s just a different event…basically esports.
Light novels have been my thing lately and been binge reading Overlord, How to summon a demon lord, No game no life… though I do not recommend that last one as a read. kinda annoying how it is written.
You could have made your point without trying to insult the people streaming in the first place.
Regardless, streaming is just a new form of sports entertainment. People enjoy watching it because it’s playing at a level that they might not play. And there’s a lot of things pertaining to their little neck of the internet involved.
I don’t get how people watch TV. But I understand how they watch streams. And that’s fine. I’m not a big TV person. Some people aren’t big streamer people. It’s all good either way.
Most people probably throw it up on a separate monitor, while doing other things and just have it running in the back ground. I personally hate big streams so im usually browsing streamers that have under 100 viewers.
