I get the motive on the creator's end, but I meant, what about the viewer? Is it just momentum? I feel like there are a lot of nobodies making their living this way, or trying to, and it suggests there is a bigass audience up for grabs that wants to one-way-deadstare a streamer in the eyes while he reads tweets and blogs. Often enough the streamer reads slowly and stutteringly like a kid in high school reading to the class. Every aspect of it is awful to me and the only part that makes sense is the streamer's motive to get money for contributing diddly to society.
Possibly. Part of it is just lonely people that enjoy someone talking to them about shit they agree with. There are some better channels like memeology that are 1-2 minutes and have no unnecessary filler/talking. Just show the videos and provide a few sentences flashed on the screen about the context.
Perhaps part of the reason I don't grok it is that between my irl schedule and my talking directly with people like you on forums like this one, I get my full social fix.
