Except not everybody watches only professional sports, and not everybody who watches sports does so for the love of seeing the sport played at a high level.
That’s why I compared it to sports teams, which people watch for the individuals, narratives, amongst other things
I think we're kinda in agreement. Like E sports has all the same individuals, narratives, back stories, underdogs and all that fun stuff. I 100% get it. And I get watching certain streamers (not even game streamers necessarily) that are funny or charming or entertaining or informative.
But watching a charismatic black hole of a human fuck up at a game for hours or browse memes on teddit is something I can't understand.
Oh yeah some streamers definitely do not appeal to everybody, but in the same sense neither do all teams, players, sports, or genres
