i don't have streamer loyalty though, i'm solely looking for games i've played and want more of
It's less about being too lazy to re-play them and more that I can't get the first playthrough experience again even if I do, so watching streamers is the next best thing.

Watching people play the games you like is the normal thing to do so I will never stop.
Especially since I like helping them get better.
The only way they'll get me to stop watching entirely is if they all convert to cancer AKA streams. Which, to be fair, a lot have but not all.
go out of their way to ensure the streamer's playthrough is as unnatural as possible, so it doesn't always work out.
When all the "content creators" moved from fairly short edited videos with purpose on youtube to twitch streaming, leaving their channels with 40 minutes barely edited stream highlights
when making alt accounts got too hard, it was fun to go to female streamers in their 30s and type "I bet you can't have babies because you are sterile and no one wants a sterile woman bawdting herself out publicly on twitch", their stair right after was the apex of the twitch experience for me, but sadly like I said it got too tiresome to make alt accounts
Literally when the turk became popular and there was no way to actually avoid being reminded of his existence. The straw the broke the camels back after all the likeable dysgenic underdogs became rich (every single OTK member), when every remotely not literal communist party affiliate was banned or castrated to silence and when the Greek fatman got skinny.
Keep in mind, I alway thought streaming was for homosexuals, was endlessly perplexed as to why I 'enjoyed' or consumed it and felt nothing but shame.
So im not really lamenting the loss of anything here as much as I am celebrating my emancipation from the spell.
I really think its just some kind of mind-control based around leveraging insane loneliness to cultivate and monetise a simulated friendship.
I really did kind of feel comfort having some moron blab on a second monitor and the pang of being alone really did hit hard when I tried to just play vidya in silence.
Pathetic situation all around and shameful to admit I was even susceptible to this manipulation.
The only solace the remains is that I at least wasn't so much a GIGAhomosexual to even remotely allow women to leverage such a power against me like so losers at least moreso losers than I was. The power of that golden sun and majestic eagle steppe nation was too powerful

I used to do watch when I didn't had computer to play games until ~9 years later I bought my own computer, and got chance to play games I want. Nowadays I'd more prefer to be the one who records and streams but my internet connection is australian tier shit.

I don't see the issue unless you're becoming the part of a streamer's "community"
I find it impossible to watch streamers. Its just fricking dogshit if youre not a giant moron who actually thinks someone sitting on their ass for 8 hours relates to you posting omegalul.
I'd watch tournaments, events like GDC (back when it was still good) and every now and then I tune into saltybet because it has managed to remain chill as frick. I don't really watch streamers.
when did you fricking start bud?
same time you did
its an anonymous image board
you dont have to lie
i havent spent a single second watching someone on twitch
This year.
meant this post for
like 10 years ago. and I still do
i never started unless we're counting reviews
I never started.
Haven't stopped watching others but stopped watching twitch back in 2013 or something. Awful website with awful features.
Please have a nice day, OP.

Yep, same.
Too lazy to re-play games, so I just watch some thot play them for me.

when I was about 8 years old, before the internet even existed
Why would I stop watching Joel?

When I started watching other people watch cartoons
I don't think I ever started. Who does that?
I only watch tournaments
I don't care for "personalities"
>tfw too autistic to say anything in the chat
I'm very good at doing things that will harm me specially in the long run of my life, so I'm still watching twitch

Gem.
absolute gem
because anyone likes to watch a shitshow

Never, its fun to hang out with friends and watch them play. I get to make fun of them every time they die.
Around when Justin.tv died

I just go there for the drops. Select the lowest quality for the stream and mute the tab.
When I got a job and friends, I didn't need game simulators or friend simulators because I could buy the game myself or hang out with my real friends
I never started. The idea of watching other people do mundane tasks was always fricking stupid to me.
