I've never understood the allure of speedrunning, so maybe he's on to something because I've also never understood the allure of left wing policy.
That's a big reason why I like TAS, but find real time speedruns insufferable. In general the TASer will know exactly how and why the bug works, and can explain it. A real time speed runner generally doesn't know anything but how to do it and what it should look like if it works.
The resulting video is a concisely edited efficient package, and the supplemental videos are often in depth explorations of program behavior.
For a real time runner, the resulting record may be enjoyable, but in many cases the rest of the footage can best be described as watching a NEET fail to do something in a video game, while living a degenerate lifestyle spending hours being an antisocial recluse and eating shitty unhealthy food while spending hours and hours in front of a screen and slowly turn into either a thin pasty white vampiric creature or a butterball.
I think there may be a problem in a decade or so when social and economic shifts along with aging and health force these people out into the sunlight after they can't sponge any more off their parents and they don't have the conditioning to function well enough to get a real job.
If ever there was a class of people that would happily be made into pod people. Speedrunners are it.
