He literally recognized that his son was using streamers/Youtubers as surrogate friends and he fixed that by getting involved into video games. The moral of the story is why the fuck would you watch LPs in your spare time? LPs are a lazy, brainless substitute for friends and an excuse to not think or strive. It's a mentally and emotionally destructive pastime that is destroying the youth. These "online personalities" are creatively bankrupt failures who profit from children and beta orbiters. They do not inspire any sort of growth or critical thought in their viewers. They do not have skills to display or anything good to say. It is an intellectually poisonous activity whose effects will be more clearly seen in about ten or twenty years from now as their victims physically (definitely not mentally) grow up. --- ... ...

I'll watch an LP once in a blue moon. Most are just way too long and the people making them are dull to watch
Tbh the last one I probably watched was the Best Friends Play Tony Hawk Underground. Cause I loved that game. But yeah, streams are fucking weird as hell. No clue what folks get out of them. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console. Started on: 12/1/2009 http://i.imgur.com/mPvcy.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only good LPs are humorous montages like Dunkey and Vanoss

The same could be said for sports, movies, and various other things. Why watch those, when you could do it?

That's not what happened in that video at all. It looks like it's the opposite in fact, and you're just projecting your anti-let's play shit onto Terry Crews out of no where. He didn't say let's plays were dumb, he just talked about how he didn't understand at first, so he decided to get involved in his son's life.
Like, idk where you're getting that wall of text paragraph about let's play's from, but it wasn't Terry Crews. --- Dot Dot Dot... ... Copied to Clipboard!

I watch achievement hunter lps, their podcasts, as well as two best friends. Either as background noise, or because I wamt to see gameplay with not boring commentary. I'm also an adult and do what I please with my spare time.

Outside of fighting game streams like combo breaker, i dont really get streams either. Well no, i get it. This may be a bit harsh, but its like a form of simulated social interaction, like the VR version of that feeling you'd get when you were a kid and you had all the time in the world to chill on the couch with your buds and pass the controller back and forth.
I get it, i just dont have an interest in crazy stream shenanigans and believe me i've given it a try. Several times and though i wont pretend i hate it completely its not interesting to me. As for LPs, they kind of bore me as well now, which shocks me because i was kind of into them. Im watching two best friends play getting up contents under pressure, but thats only because i enjoyed that as a kid. (Now realizing it wasnt the best game).

aww, thats cool what he did in the video. Id never think of it like that.
As for the OP, thats some interesting thoughts. I watch some LPs cause im cheap and the early plays help determine if thats the game for me. Said game sits in wishlist if it makes the cut. It stays there until the price is right. Theres only 1 banter i enjoy from LPs and the dude is a geologist by day and LPer on free times. He talks about the earth and the game. Then talks how detailed the terrain is on some games for that lil nugget of information. I know hes commentary might sound boring but he drops knowledge on his channel from time to time. --- You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing ...

That's a dumb reason. Why would you watch a TV show. It's not a replacement for a friend because you think you're friends with the Kardashians.
An LP is just entertainment. And there is still a community for many of them. You can comment to the LPer and other viewers. Not seeing his point. --- "I devour urine just like my Portland Trailblazers, with piss poor defense." ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's not one sentence (which makes the video clickbait), and the video isn't even about LPers, it's about Crews' thoughts about a bond he felt he was losing with his son and decided to build a new PC with him.

I dunno how people feel some sort of connection with a pre-recorded YouTube video, but not with a live stream, chatting with other people in realtime.
If someone wanted to feel some connection, shouldn't they watch streams instead? If Terry wanted to criticize people who use Let's Plays as a substitute for friends, shouldn't he criticize livestreaming as well? Or first? --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? ... Copied to Clipboard!
