Wait.. Is this a real thing?.. People actually sit and watch strangers playing games?

Do you watch sports? is that strange to you?

I don't watch sports. I don't feel pride or shame for other peoples acomplishments or failures. I can understand why people watch sports though. I know that gaming is a sport too. (I've been to Korea). But there's no competition or prize here.. this is just a random person playing a random game by themself.. Would you watch a random person kick a football around for hours online? I don't get it.

Most streamers with a lot of views are the guys who are really good at what they do like bjergsen from TSM (League of legends) and actually yes they compete for money the end of the season grand final is 1mill and there are plenty tournaments with thousands of dollars as prizes every months. And some other streamers get views because they are funny or have a good personnality so they are entertaining just like the millions who watch jimmy fallon or what ever talk show out there and then there are the girl gamers who provides girls playing a video game and tits (if they want to get viewers of course)

Oooooh! OK I get it now.
