speaking of twitch, i recently started watching rampage as he streams a lot of pubg. I don't know much about wrestling, is he a big wrestling guy? Like Hulk Hogan / Rock level of WWE famous? It blows my mind that kinda guy would be streaming video games nowadays
i love the travel IRL streams too, its cool watching someone walk around in asia or eastern europe just doing shit, as an older guy now and someone who hates planes it scratches an itch. they definitely need a LOT more of that.
If you want TV shows, get Netflix or pay for TV or just pirate stuff. Twitch is NOT a TV show and never will be. The streaming model is working exceedingly well for them (Twitch is raking in tons of money and hundreds if not thousands of streamers just stream as their primary income, compared to how many YouTubers?) and now there's even games coming out specifically made for streamers, with chat voting integration and such.
I don't enjoy the bulk of TV or movies that are popular. I hate watching sports and even most esports. But I enjoy Twitch. Especially a few of the streamers I've found via PUBG, really fun to watch.

Yea, Twitch seems like they just want to stream anything and everything. I've long wondered why services like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc. were slow (or not even trying) to get on the "simultaneous watch" train so you can watch something with other people. Maybe I'm overestimating how much it would be utilized but considering how big the random shows on Twitch have been I think there's some value there.This was touched upon a bit on Dropped Frames (some fairly high impact twitch bros discussing the latest stream news/games), that since the Bob Ross marathon twitch is doing more TV-series marathons (power rangers and now crunchy roll), side-stepping the streamers. Of course, streamers are not going away, but it seems twitch might be expanding into other avenues as well, like streaming TV, but with a chat too (which is something I never understood why netflix etc. haven't utilised, chat can be cancer but also is a big part of the draw of twitch)
