I’ve watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it’s clearly not the intended experience I think.

    I don’t personally, but I’ve read that the appeal is that sometimes you want to play a game, and sometimes you want to watch television, and sometimes you don’t want to do either but vaguely want an experience that’s halfway between the two (i.e. watching someone else play a game).

      And sometimes you’re stoned and watch streamers thinking its a movie (yes that happened, once tho :))
