I’ve personally never understood facecam game streaming in the first place. I don’t care about your expressions. Then vtubing became popular and it was the same complaint, but more.

I don’t really watch streamers except for Jerma. But if you watch Jerma, you’re not really watching for competitive gameplay as much as him just always being a comedian like this

I imagine people watching vtubers it’s the same idea, where it’s less about the gameplay and more about comedy (and probably much more horny)

Personally what I like about live streamers is, it's someone giving you an opportunity to pay attention to them, see them having fun, get to know things about them, and root for them. But the streamers I watch are vtubers because looking at real people's faces is uncomfortable and unpleasant to me, and I really like animation.
