I don’t understand why this is a thing? Who wants to watch someone nod their head to someone else’s content?
Just show the original video! How did this get popular and what is wrong with those that helped it to happen?

Unpopular thing to say but… I just don’t understand watching other people gaming.
Note that I did not say “people who watch twitch are idiots”.
Just that I personally don’t get it, never will. I’m fine with that too, people do loads of things that I don’t find at all appealing.
i watch it for the commentary. Its also kind of like pseudoshared experience. There are also bunch of games that are not necessarily bad but which i dont want to buy, so watching someone else play it is nice way to experience the game and also see if it would be worth getting afterall.
I’m not into sports neither and when my father explained why he watches sports, I suggested you might just as well watch people playing video games.
I thought that was ridiculous at the time but it actually became a thing
Some streamers play indie games and some are terribly boring to me. It helps me sleep.
For the same reason people watch professional sports.
Fair enough. I don’t watch
gambling adsprofessional sports either.The streamer might do some funny (or insightful) comments about the game while playing, or do a playthrough with some weird conditions (e.g. he can’t do certain actions like healing, …) that you wouldn’t in your right mind apply to yourself
Amazing.
Sometimes I find it fun to watch a game I will never play, but I also get to chat with the streamer so theres that too.
More power to you brother, but yeah this holds no meaning for me.
