They are a source of entertainment. Like reading a book, or watching TV. However, unlike those two, they can be social, or isolated, complex, or brainless, and create memories just as fond as any other experience, because though the interaction is still limited by the creator, the interaction keeps growing and can expand to other mediums. I felt more gratified when me and my roommate got a round of applause from a room full of nerds at a smash bros tourney over a 9 minute match than I did when I pitched 6 perfect innings at the city championships when I used to play baseball.
If I never had it, I wouldn't miss it, but I grew up with it, and still love it.
See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.
