Yeah, you make sense. I'm not really a multiplayer or competitive game player at all, that's probably why. Single player all the way (though if I could go back to early years Ragnarok Online I would without a second thought :p). Not really a sports person either, rooting for teams and such, meh. Guess it's just not really my thing at all. It happens. Or I haven't found the thing I might like yet, could be.

But for the people who like this stuff, they'll never run out of content, plenty of videos and streamers everywhere. That's gotta be nice.

Yeah but also stuff like, someone made a video about beating a highscore playing Planet Coaster building literally only a swimming pool. I would've probably never gotten the idea, it's not incredibly interesting to play, but it's fun to see someone do it once.

Usually people watch when they can't play, I watch on the phone on the toilet, when I eat food, in the bed to relax after I've been playing already for hours. It's cool to see how other people play games you play.
