It is not just watching. There is also a chat room on each stream channel so the streamer can talk to viewers and viewers can talk to the streamer. There is a dynamic of viewer interaction & community.
Also it is not just video game streamers, but political streamers also. Though due to big tech censorship, most streamers to the right of SJW crazies prefer D Live over Twitch.
Large competitive player-vs-player games evolve a metagame where relative power levels of different characters and abilities dictate what strategies competitive teams should use, and by extension give regular players a high-level explanation of what the best strategies in games are.
Watching twitch streams makes you a better player by learning from the best so you can compete more easily rather than beating your head against the wall because you don't know what's good at all.
Any use of it besides that I find to be a waste of time, there's definite simp culture there where incels will watch thots game all day while giving them money. And there's radical lefty political streamers too, which is pretty cancer.
Imagine caring what Twitch is. 😭
Ouch cut myself on all that edge
Someone explain it to me, cause at 31, I don’t fucking get it.
“So I just watch you play video games, not play with you or anything, just watch?”

It is not a total free speech platform, at least according to the TOS but conservative political streamers have been able to thrive on D Live.
Note that Twitch is owned by Amazon, which is owned by Anti-Trump CEO Jeff Bezos. Bezos also owns the Anti-Trump fake news newspaper Washington Post.

Yep. very strange.
Imagine trying to explain to AOC how America works.
Just remember, it's the tax dollars of the garbage idiots who elected her.
