> People stream their gameplay for cash

This is still such a very strange thing for me. Truly one of the first things that has made me (as someone in my mid-30s) feel disconnected from the next generation.

Why would I want to watch someone else play video games? If I had the time to do that, why wouldn't I just play the games myself? Where's the joy in it? The commentary? If I wanted commentary to listen to, wouldn't it make more sense for it to be about something real?

I guess I'll just tie that onion onto my belt and call it a day.

Same reason people watch sports. Many of the streamers are top of their game and people watch them to pick up tips and the learn new skill-sets in the gaming world. I am 44, I don't watch them but my boys do and I get it, where at first I had the same reaction. Which was basically why would you waist you time doing that.
