Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment? (lemmy.world)

I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

I love video games, but creating content for a publically traded brand to post on an advertising company's streaming platform is inherently more serving of capitalism than documenting bugs.

That's not a "video game" issue though, it's a social media issue. Re-reading OP, it is more clear than I initially read it as (when I made this comment I felt it didn't make up it's mind who it's swinging at, gamers or 'streamers,') so in context of the image you're right.

However, I stand by my bigger point of "fuck shaming 'unproductive' hobbies." Let people find their dopamine where they can find it so long as it isn't bothering anyone.

Agreed with your modification. Being "productive," especially in anticapitaliste ways may be laudable, but no one needs you to prove your right to exist
