except you also have someone cracking jokes and being effectively a stand-up comedian.

So sports

I think the weird thing is the people that see streamers like a friend rather than just picking a game they want to see and finding a stream without a face cam and a calm demeanour

Seeing a streamer as a friend is definitely getting into parasocial territory sure, but watching the same streamer all the time isn't always unhealthy. People have specific sportscasters they prefer watching over others, it's a similar concept with streamers. It's not weird to enjoy one entertainer's personality and content more than another's.
