I feel you because skating was always the anti video game to me, in that video games are about mostly sitting on your ass at home and being passive, while skating is about physically leaving your comfort zone, literally moving around the real world and living experiences in the present. But I also know what rawbertson is trying to say because I'm nostalgic enough to have watched a few speedruns of games I grew up watching, and so I'm aware of streamers like this:
I'm tempted to draw so many parallels with skating on such topics. As in, from 9:00 onwards, you could literally replace every instance of 'streaming' with 'professional skateboarding' (in its current inception at least, complete with the virtual aspect) and still hit the nail on its head when it comes to social analysis (maybe better than the average skater would due to lack of hindsight). As cooler as skating may be, on a personal level it's always healthy to expand your horizons, see how other more or less niche groups and cultures behave, struggle and learn from basic human mistakes, and then reconsider your own functioning from the newly acquired perspective depending on how much of the comparison happens to stick.
