    I don’t personally get the appeal of many gaming YouTubers. I’m not personally very into watching other people play videos (not review, but just play). I can kinda understand some people wanting to watch that, but it always surprises me just how many people watch it and for how long.

    It also seems all too common that they have very questionable views and their fans will defend them to the death. I don’t get that either. There’s some YouTuber creators I really enjoy, but if they said horrible things, I sure as hell aren’t going to defend them at all, let alone to the degree that some gaming YouTubers get ardently defended.

      I watch a lot of gaming YouTubers and very rarely play games, I find the content really enjoyable as background while I’m coding or doing something on the computer. They’re great because it’s interesting enough to keep my brain active but also it doesn’t matter if I miss a bit because I’m focusing.

      I don’t watch the kind that say questionable things tho

      It’s actually amazing how creative and funny a lot of them are.
