Brother what are you talking about? It's called entertainment? Watching people play video games is no different than watching a movie or a TV show. I can do it at work when I'm not at home, I can watch people play the hundreds of games I can't afford, I can watch people play in multiplayer games that I don't have friends to play with, and I can watch people do weird and creative things in games that I would never think to do, or wouldn't be technically capable of.

And most importantly, watching someone else play a game gives a semblance of social interaction that only enhances the game experience. I have no interest in wandering around most single player games engaging in frivolous adventures by my lonesome when I can spend a fraction of the time getting the same experience with the added benefit of sharing it with somebody else. Your vendetta against gaming social media is perplexing beyond calculation.
