What's the draw of watching/following streamers? (lemm.ee)

I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.

Ever watch a football game?

Exactly. There were a couple of small streamers I used to watch on Twitch and joined their Discord servers. It was a blast for a while but my work schedule changed and I was unable to watch/participate as much.

It's definitely better live and being able to participate in some way.

Honestly not really, too many ads and stops and starts from when I've been around others watching them, but I think I get the gist.
