It's cheaper than buying the game. No buyer's remorse. Saves time compared with playing the game yourself. More informative than a game trailer. Watch celebrities (both A list and B list) play your favorite games. Learn tips and terminology from other gamers. Feel vicarious success from someone breaking a world speedrun record. You can do other activities while they play the game for you. No hassle with installation or compatibility or awkward controls. No need to invest in dedicated gaming hardware. You can skip ahead to the good parts.
