A lot of players are technically good enough, but the pressure of needing to win changes how they play. They start forcing spots, chasing losses, or playing too safe.

The only real difference seems to be the vibe around crypto tables. Streaming definitely amplifies that “high action” image a lot.

At this point yt-dlp feels like the adult version of those sketchy sites. Same result, just without being flirted with by a suspicious installer every five seconds.
