> I've always wondered why someone may like to watch people playing videogames when you can play said videogames yourself.

I don't like it myself. But a number of my coworkers, and cousins, are of this cohort.

In general, it seems like they want an internet personality to follow. They like watching someone who gets angry and frustrated as they lose, or gets excited when they win. Its no different than following the personal lives of celebrities, except these "Twitch Celebrities" or "Youtube Celebrities" are more personalized and tailored for your specific interests.
