    it is stupid but we also enjoy watching people play sports

    If you like a sport you should practice it and not just watch it

    Video games have unscripted events, that’s why I like them.



    These are pretty fun to watch.

    Ive never really watched his type of stuff but I'll occasionally watch people that are really good at strategy games I also play just for ideas. Civilization, AoE, stuff like that.

    huge difference.
    I can't dunk or run a 4.4 40 currently.

    But I can easily kill someone playing a video game.

    When I was a teenager, my dad once told me I was wasting my time playing video games and I'll forever blame him for me not being a top streamer today.

    I'm just saying it's more impressive to watch athletes do something you couldn't ever do yourself no matter how hard you practiced just because they were naturally talented. Same with going to see concerts.

    With video games you can get a lot better just by playing them more often.

    You can also get a lot better at sports by playing them more often

    Is it your contention that the elite skill of professional athletes isn't a factor in why they're entertaining?

    Ok that makes a little more sense. From what I have seen it seemed more like a cam girl situation where they are just doing their thing and then the little cash register sound goes off and they are like ohh thanks 69bigdaddy69 you’re so sweet then move on with the rest of their routine.

    No thanks you can have all that fun wasting hours of your life watching sexual predators play video games.

    There's a ton of talent involved in being a successful streamer as well. It's not just a time commitment thing. There are thousands of unsuccessful streamers who spend hours broadcasting to six people

    so really your point is that you just don't care for the streaming platform (which is fine) and not that anyone can do what they do with practice (which is asinine)

    also fwiw I am not a gamer and I have zero interest in watching streams, feel like I need to get that out in the open for protection here
