Lots of people watch live sports, reality TV, talk shows. It's just an extension of that genre depending on what type of streamer you're in to.
Lots of people don't care for that stuff, sounds like you're in the second group.
Oh, maybe that explains why I don't like streamers. I don't like any of those things.
I like some sports, but can't stand game streamers. Athletes train for years to become the best in their sport/position/etc, streamers are usually mediocre at the games at best. I rather just play the game myself. Much more of a personality cult around streamers, and I have no interest in.
But well, people are different. If some people enjoy it, go ahead just explaining from another point of view why I don't like it
You’ve perhaps compared the wrong niche though. Game streamers are the Harlem Globetrotters; you’re not there to watch excellent gaming, but entertaining gaming. Whereas esports are the equivalent to competitive sports.
That said; I too struggle to care about watching either. Even my old boss Limmy, no care for watching him stream.
