You’re totally missing the mark: many of these guys are very, very good at creating entertaining content. They pull more views than NFL matches on the daily, so if anything, I’d say they’re beating top athletes.

The game they happen to be playing doesn’t even matter all that much, because it isn’t about the game being fun. It’s about that specific guy being fun to watch.

That’s an untrue statement….

Highest ever twitch stream viewers 3.5 million

Least viewed nfl game in 2023, 8 million (also only happened to be available via stream thanks to Amazon)

Was talking mostly about YouTube videos, think PewDiePie minecraft series, with millions of views.

Fun stat: Bitch Lasagna counted 8 million views in 2023 alone, despite being released in 2018.
