This is why I’ve always hated twitch and the concept of streamers in general. It’s commercializing something meant to be done personally and for fun. I mean yeah, professional soccer is streamed/broadcast for commercial purposes, but nobodies over here watching my fat ass playing in an outdoor beer league in my city. Anyone who’d care enough to watch is out playing soccer themselves.
There’s always a niche. Nobody thought anyone would care enough to watch them play video games badly but here we are. Really if you set a cam in your league and have half funny commentators who know their stuff people would watch.
Look at speed running too, it’s even more niche than just playing games and it gets millions of dollars a year too.
