“Why do you watch people play video games on YouTube, why don’t you just play the game yourself”
Almost 112 million people are currently sitting on their asses watching a bunch of dudes play a sport instead of just playing the sport themselves
This. Its okay if people find entertainment watching other people play sports (or heck watching people cook, watch people play poker, etc), but then people find it weird that people watch others play video games?
Reasons people watch Let’s Plays;
I want to check out the game before I waste $20
I don’t think I’m skilled enough to play this game but I want to see how it goes.
I want the game but it’s on a different console and I’m not spending $400 on a fucking console for one game.
I find it relaxing and the youtuber makes me happy.

Tbh this is the funniest post on this dumb website
horrifying fun fact of the day: so greenwich village, which is the neighborhood in nyc where the stonewall riots took place and which was a v important gay center from like the 50s-80s, is now super swanky and full of touristy boutiques and expensive apartments and stuff. st vincent’s, the local hospital which had the first aids ward on the east coast, closed a couple years ago and is being replaced with luxury condos. all of this is sad enough, BUT i just found out that one of the reasons it’s so gentrified now is that the aids crisis was really awesome for real estate. ppl were dying in thousands and leaving empty apartments behind, which their landlords would then rent at higher prices until only rich ppl could afford to live there 🙂
elaphaia said: also during the aids crisis landlords would shut their heat off in the winter knowing it would kill ppl so they could then rent 4 higher 🙂
Reminder that the cishet dominated government didn’t just ignore the effects of HIV/AIDS because of how concentrated the deaths were in other communities because they hate us, but also because they materially benefited from it – because they owned most of the buildings, because our partners and other kin had no legal right to our possessions, and because they commodified and monopolized antiretrovirals to bilk us.
