Why don't you... - Lemmy.World

That is an easy answer tho. You watch football at the highest level of competition to see the best of the best. It’s not like you go out and watch other dads playing football in the park… Do you? 🤔

Like I get watching esports or speedrunners; I do not understand watching people who are the same as you do something you can do yourself easily.

Anyway, I can’t wait for July 13th when the Grumps start playing Dangoronpa 3.

You’re totally missing the mark: many of these guys are very, very good at creating entertaining content. They pull more views than NFL matches on the daily, so if anything, I’d say they’re beating top athletes.

The game they happen to be playing doesn’t even matter all that much, because it isn’t about the game being fun. It’s about that specific guy being fun to watch.

That’s a untrue statement….

Was talking mostly about YouTube videos, think PewDiePie minecraft series, with millions of views.

Fun stat: Bitch Lasagna counted 8 million views in 2023 alone, despite being released in 2018.
