Nah, don't apologize, nothing egregious has been done :)  I personally don't see a great deal of entertainment to be had just watching other people play games...but, there are some people who do.  No idea why, but it's not my entertainment, so it's really of no concern to me.

Saying sorry doesn't cost me a penny. ;)

I think it's bad for the sole reason that you're left out of the experience. Not simply being a spectator is what's good about interactive media in the first place. Let's plays eliminate that.

I think it's very difficult for folks who don't see the value in it, to try and explain it.  For me, it's clearly an alien concept...but the ridiculous surge in youtube/twitch popularity tells me there's many people who like it.  I just don't understand the why.  So, it's probably easier to let someone who actually truly enjoys it, explain it.  I could theorize all day, and probably never come close to an answer hehe.
