Personally I find the acting like a 12 year old more annoying, but I don't watch either type of streamer as I can look at sexy women elsewhere and I don't find any appeal to watching other people playing a video game online, to be frank it baffles me why so many people would even want to watch a stranger playing a video game on camera at all.

I completely agree that both perpetuate pretty crappy stereotypes about gamers.

I don't watch streamers live at all, I really don't see the point of it. I sometimes watch parts of a Let's Play on youtube to gain an understanding of gameplay mechanics and features, as well as possible technical issues. Pretty much the only content I want to watch is properly edited, well-spoken or at the very least genuinely funny and with some kind of purpose. To me, it's unbelievable that a persona like Pewdiepie has become the monolith he has, it's absolutely insane.

One thing I really like though is looking up bits and pieces from other gamers when you become stuck in a game. Using gaming sites and similar solutions often results in blaring ads, shitty formatting and half-assed actual video with lots of filler (to keep you there for more ads).

As for the psychology behind the boys/men who toss money at female streamers, this is as fascinating as it is sad. We talk a lot about this at work since we meet kids who are in the typical risk zone of resorting to just that type of behavior since they lack understanding of human relations and the concepts of reciprocation and proper emotional connection and regulation.

Ironically, I usually have the opposite experience regarding guides and help. When I am stuck in a video game I almost never use a video guide as having to go find the appropiate moment can be slightly more time consuming; and it is easier and faster to express a strategy or help in writing than in a video. Though this depends on the genre; I do sometimes give up and look at a proper video for say, platform games, but never for RPGs or strategy games (as in those it is much harder to express what to do in a video than in text)

The sites themselves are also easy to use, I don't know where you are finding the problems. I tend to go with Guias Nintendo (admittedly in Spanish) for Nintendo games as those are actually official (done by Nintendo themselves); and for other games I usually go with GameFAQs, whose TXT only guides with ASCII art look straight out of the late 1990s, but which do the trick just fine.

Never had a problem with many ads in either of those; even with my ad blocker disabled. (shitty formatting does apply to GameFAQs ASCII guides for technical reasons though)

I do agree with the point about psychology. It is a modern development that is very worrying.
