I used to watch a lot of Let's Plays. Nowadays, they're a dying breed. I'd be hard pressed to name a channel I watch regularly that does that kind of gameplay. Kind of a shame....
Lets plays have been torn to shreds by people making highlight videos, which aren’t bad I just wish more long running series were still made. Too many games are long enough that highlight videos still miss a bunch of stuff.
I think its because most people stream the "Let's Play" portion, and then cut it up into highlights for people on Youtube later. Letting them double dip it.
Makes sense from a monetary point of view for them, even if it brings a lot of obvious negatives for us.
It’s a pain in the butt to keep track of livestreams sadly. Especially if they stream to like twitch or something. Even YouTube is a pain to track livestreams.

At least some people have the decency to save their vods. It's still not the same thing as a properly curated LP, with scripted commentary, though.

Yeah I don't bother with them unless it just so happens to be on when I'm around and it looks really interesting.
