LostForest 12/14/20 3:05:54 PM #9:	TBQH it's probably because that group of people are really lonely and have unfulfilling lives, so the false intimacy the feel from watching a streamer playing a game you like, emulates the same feeling that other people get from playing video games with their friends and family IRL. --- ForestLogic alt. <cite>LostForest posted [p:948328546] in Why do peo...

Lost_All_Senses 12/14/20 3:06:56 PM #10:	I kind of get it. I've grown to love playing one player games by passing the controller. So half the time or more (I'm generous person) I'm just watching them play something I spent money on. I guess the difference is I'm getting conversation out of it by being with them. --- Name checks out "Try to talk and they ain't listening, but they'll point it out when you get ignorant" - Dreezy <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:948328593] in Why do peo...

Jabodie 12/14/20 3:54:07 PM #20:	When I was younger I used to enjoy watching let's plays. Then streaming basically replaced the let's play. But for me, streaming was a strict down grade because I never called the audience interaction part of the experience. But if somebody produced content I enjoy regularly, I wouldn't mind throwing a few bucks a month at him/her. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:948330352] in Why do peo...
