    People watch carpenters so they can get ideas on how to make useful things. Games are meant to be fun, not constructive. So, I still don’t get it.

    It does seem like you’re second point is more valid This is just reality TV. I’ve never understood that, either, though.

      Games can be competitive. Or maybe you are having difficulty in a certain game and want to learn strategies to get better at it, even if it isn’t a competitive game.

      I listen to podcasts while doing carpentry and watch streamers or YouTubers while coding or using CAD it’s a great way of holding focus and taking away the urge to rush. Bikini hulahoop streamers are just as good side noise as gamers, nothing important so you don’t get distracted but interesting enough to stop boredom.
