SpriteLimit posted... How?
They add no value aside from a picture of their face in the corner while the cartoon is playing. The experience you get from watching the stream is no different than the experience you get if you watch it directly.
Compared to video games the experience is not the same is playing it yourself. The interactions the group has during Among Us were not the same experiences I had just playing the game. They create things in Minecraft that I would have not created. Competitive games are similar to watching a sporting event.
In all of these cases the streamer adds something that was not part of the original content.
If they had real commentary that added something to the cartoon, I would say they are the same. But most of the time they just stare at the screen barely speaking, sometimes even getting up and doing something else while the show plays not even watching or commenting.
Are you saying you should be able to just replay anything with no problem?
Do you watch those streams to get out of paying for the cartoon, or are you watching them to interact with chat and the streamer?
Bing, bong, it's fair use.
