When people make topics talking about twitch or YouTube channels, one of the common complaints is that they are not worth watching because you don't learn anything. I don't understand that, can't you just watch something to be entertained? Why do you need to learn something? Why do you need to see someone dominate the game? Most people I watch (on YouTube, never watched a live twitch stream) are average gamers who have a fun personality. That's common with a lot of people's fans, they watch the stream/video for the person, not the game. That's why some people can play any game they want and still have a decent amount of views. Just today I put on a let's play while I did Xenoblade Chronicles side missions.

I also can't get into playthroughs that are not blind. If they know the game already, it's just so boring to watch. In a blind play through, you get to sort of relive those moments through their reactions and comments. Like I'll watch just about any playthrough of Danganronpa because it's fun watching the person get attached to characters and their reactions to their inevitable death. It doesn't have to be story moments, it could be gameplay too. Like I'm currently watching a Doom Eternal play through and its fun watching them get hyped over a new demons glory kill animation.

I've always said that the perfect gamefaqs video is 10 seconds long, black screen with white text, silent, bullet points, and state facts. Everyone is ugly and everyone has a cringy voice, so no faces or voices, it's short, it's to the point, and you learn something.
