I rarely watch twitch, and when I do it's for events (eg, Games Done Quick) and not individual streamers. I'm just past that being interesting in my life.
Discord though - they announced streaming and I thought it was ridiculous, but they've won me over. Among a friend group, where joining the stream also implies joining the voice chat, I find myself being drawn in when someone is streaming. It's great for: waiting for a round to end before you can join the group, reviewing replays as a group, "hey check out this cool thing", just seeing what's up with a game a few people are trying out, or (especially in post-covid19 world) just hanging out when you don't/can't (eg, eating) play at the moment but want some socialization. Combined with video chat and it makes a good platform for socially distant jackbox games - it just works compared to other video chats which seem optimized for slide shows and fail at streaming a game smoothly with audio.
