Also where are you pulling this 2.4 million stat from?

Guinness world record, which was the top result.

"In 2020, the League of Legends World Championships peaked at almost 46 million concurrent viewers."

I googled that to try to find where you got the claim from, and I can't find an independent, reputable citation. Apparently that's what the organizers claimed, and I'm not sure where they allegedly hosted it although I know it can't be on Twitch because of the Guinness thing.

Streaming has not yet caught up to traditional tv in viewership but it's largely because of old people. The average 65+ watches more than 6 hours of tv per day. The average 12-17 doesn't even watch 1 hour average per day and the numbers rise through each age group. It's only a matter of time.

I find all those claims fallacious and, in the case of your predictions, absurdly speculative.

And if you really wanna see how traditional tv is dying, it's better to look at youtube with over 1 billion hours watched per day and more time watched in the 18-34 on youtube mobile alone than the same demographic watches tv.

Which is again trying to reframe the argument, where the original point of contention was the CONTENT provided by television and networks, not merely the consumption platform. Judg has been talking about these tiny ass streamers as being the future while claiming that traditional entertainment -- which pulls in far higher numbers -- is dead, a claim that makes zero sense.
