I still don't understand how lets plays are a thing.

I don’t watch them, but the idea is to replicate the feeling of being over a friends house playing a game on the TV. The commentary by the streamer and the comments of the viewership simulate a sense of togetherness and unrehearsed emotions, just like the real thing.

Personally I see it as a waste of time but I get the appeal. 

OK that part I can maybe, MAYBE understand. But I still don't get it. There seems to be hundreds of streamers as well. I always wonder what percentage of the viewers actually play the game they are watching.
