    Kinda agree to a point. I don't think vtubers are any worse than regular streamers, but I absolutely do not understand why streamers are popular.

      I like plenty of MTG strsamers, thet play cool decks, they have charisma and dont play out donations very much/long.

        Sure. I don't want to attack anyone that enjoys that kind of stuff. I can watch streams of complicated games if i want to learn them, but the format is not really for me. The streams are too long, and with most games that are streamed, you can't really do anything else without missing most of it.

      I'm not big on streams either, but the main reason I watch the occasional clip or archived stream (and Lets Plays when those were a thing) is to see people react to games I've played in the past- it scratches that same itch you got when you had a friend over to have them play or watch something

      I also study Japanese for fun and have always liked Japanese gameplay videos from that angle, so Vtuber content being so prevalent is a boon in that regard even if I find the broader fan culture kind of grating
