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. 

Bit weird take, anyway SasXshadow for example makes youtube videos about Gears news/skins and he streams aswell.  And yesterday he let viewers play with him so I did aswell.(https://www.twitch.tv/videos/779530754)  If I don't play with him I enjoy watching his playstyle and learn from it.  As a kid I played many games that no one else played (digital devil saga for example) watching someone stream the game and finding a like minded group of people who enjoyed the game/lore is a great experience and I envy that kids today can do so.
