Maybe it’s just a zoomer thing(which is cool) and I’m a grumpy old man, but I don’t get the whole e-celeb twitch streamer fandom shit.

Especially people who are like hardcore fans of this shit.

To each his own I guess. I’m really just curious of the appeal. If anyone can explain it

That’s just watching a drama, though. Streamers are friend substitutes.

When I used to watch sports, I liked them becuase they were a drama where you didn’t know the end. TV shows were predictable and you just knew what was going to happen after 5 minutes. Sports? Anything can happen. And there’s always the chance of watching a historic play happen live. I saw Leon Lett celebrate early and get the ball swatted away from him as it happened.
