maybe it's because I'm an old geezer compared to the average twitch viewer but I honestly don't understand the appeal of these streamers. It must be some kind of parasocial thing
and every once in a while I'll see a clip where some popular streamer is talking, little "donation" messages show up on the screen and I'm reminded that people who are presumably much less wealthy than the streamer routinely donate money to them and it just breaks my brain
When you stream stuff in the background, is it usually people playing games or is it sometimes like the linked content where the streamer is talking?
