Why do they do it, Sup Forums? Why do they continue to persist against all odds?

Because those 15 people who watch that one guy are probably the best fans ever.

Some people do it for a small and consistent community. Others do it for ___.

I dunno why really I'm one of those people too. I mainly do it cause I like to hang out and bullshit with my friends while we play video games we record it because why not it's not like really going to get us anywhere it's just something we like to do

Everytime I've even considered doing this I'm reminded of some of the great play through I've seen with 150 or less views and it immidiatly sets me straight. Bless thier souls.

the only people online with massive follower and view counts are flooded with bots. No one is actually famous unless they were selected to be famous. There are no genuine haters online they are all bots. Sup Forums and every single website is flooded with bots

they see popular people that actually make money and want to do it too

little do they know they are too late

Some people find it more motivating to play video games if they talk to themselves while they play.
The actual viewership is irrelevant.

Autism.
Instead of playing kids toys they could learn skills and make something of themselves...but nope.

Years ago, I came across an LP channel where a guy had 10 subscribers. Apparently one guy unsubbed and the LPer was so heartbroken that he made a video pleading with the unsubbed guy to come back. He looked like he was on the verge of tears.

It was the most pathetically sad thing I've ever seen.

But what if Matrix?

Oh man now I wanna see it too

Because they're faggots who want attention and hope to get easy money.

Monetized Youtube videos was the biggest mistake on the Internet.

Autism

I always comment myself when I play. I've been thinking about hooking up a capturing card. I might get famous who knows.

It's odd, but you have to realize that these people would still be playing the game whether they streamed it or not. It's just a way of making money / amassing a following while playing games.

I wish I could find it again.

The video I REALLY want to find again is the one where a well known speedrunner is streaming and suddenly gains self-awareness and realizes how stupid and pointless speedrunning is, and basically starts insulting his audience for wasting their time watching him. I saw it last year and I've never been able to track it down again.

And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is some hype cretin with ADHD trying to be le epik and screaming like a autistic retard that can't figure out the game to save his life and forgets stuff that was explained literally two seconds ago.

think its called speedrunning exposed

he was running goldeneye if im not mistaken, might help ya find it

>find lets play of my favorite game
>it's some little 13 year old kid playing it
>he's way better than me

Yep, that's the one. Thanks dude.

Of course. Kids have all the time in the world to game.
