Speedrunning isn't THAT popular. If you want to chase trends there are much easier ways other than spending thousands of hours on a single game to have low chances of make a record.
Yeah I agree. the effort to profit ratio on speed running is so low there is no way anyone is doing it for profit over their love for the game.
I tried speed running a game once and it was exhausting. It's like accusing math professors of publishing papers for the money.
Except for the people that try to cheat to do it.
