I Don't Understand Twitch....

[glamphotographer]

I don't understand why people want to watch others play video games, until now....Sasha Grey. Watching Sasha is entertaining, not the same as her porn days as an 18-year-old but still good. Many more pornstars are on twitch and earning money through donations.

I used to think like this. Why would anyone want to watch people play video games. But then covid hit and there was nothing to watch in terms of sporting events with one exception: E-Sports. Formula 1 was running unofficial grand Prix races and while not a substitute for the real thing it was pretty entertaining. They even ran a 24 hour of Lemans which wasn't without issues but still decent enough to watch. In terms of the f1 drivers it gave us a little glimpse to their personalities which I thought was great. Made them seem like real people rather than the cookie cutter type personalities we had become accustomed to.

I then watched some people play COD Warzone and marvelled at how good they really are. Some of the best players are being paid millions of dollars to stream so they have a following and a brand. In that respect it's not much different from what pro athletes are doing. I think it's grown to beyond a fad now, it's here to stay.

The platform has expanded the last few years. I have a buddy who is a day trader and he will watch veteran's who day trade live using Twitch for further research and study. It's a better managed platform then trying to do the same (offer a speciality live feed to your followers/fans) than a Youtube channel from what I have seen myself.

Just adding a bit of insight from my limited use of the platform myself.

I knew a MPA gamer who used to stream on Twitch. Damn she was hot and made me feel nice things then watching her play games on twitch was kinda cool.

I used to watch CS:GO tournaments, it's similar to watching sports.
Professionals that are really good, way above your level - it's simply entertainment.

I never really understood the whole appeal of someone playing a single player game online.
I guess their personality is the attraction, like how they react and comment on the experience.

Unfortunately most of these "TIDDY" streamers are just milking the system for attention and money typically appealing to lonely pathetic guys who think there is some connection because they moderate their stream and provide free labor or donate.

I don't know who's in the wrong here. The exploiting E-thot or the incel supporting her. At least this one figured it out instead of continuing the charade... well sort of. He just went to another TIDDY streamer. He and his lot should come here if they have the money to burn.

I can't imagine the pressure on, and confusion of, teen girls now. One side screaming "Your an independent woman and need no man" and another one screaming "Show those tits and ass everyday and watch the money roll in"

I donate but it has to be something more than a girl playing video games. That would bore me to tears.
