Gamers are spending more time watching videos about gaming on YouTube and Twitch than playing games themselves.

I very much doubt that people are watching games exclusively though. They are probably working, playing a game themselves (I watch while playing Football Manager etc…) or glued to their phone.

I am.

My current job situation makes it impossible to work and watch videos at the same time (mostly)…

It’s a way for me to stress down after a hectic day. I don’t really wanna play video games, but for me putting on a video from a creator, who plays video games ~ there is no new knowledge I need to process, there is no “real world” information that I have to adhere to… it just is whatever… and I can turn my mind off, while Pravus talks about something I don’t really care about ~ so yeah
