My son does this in a bad british accent...

For his birthday this year he wants a streaming setup.

Yeah I'm not sure if people are getting what I mean.

This isn't just trash talk or yelling out when you're frustrated.

This is constant commentary. It's vocally reacting to every single thing that happens in the game. These kids are emulating what they watch because they want to be streamers when they're older. It's the new dream job.

I mean, that's probably a factor, but this really isn't new. Whether it's snarky comments, reading text aloud, or whatever, kids have been doing their own running commentary since video games began. It's probably just better to say that the way they do it now is different.
