Do they? Not necessarily. That's quite a generalisation. I get the humour, it's just not my cup of tea.

  What I mean is that it's wrong to compare Hikaru to other chess channels. I don't watch him to get better at chess and I wouldn't be surprised if most viewers have no actual interest in chess. If they are it definitely makes sense to check out the channels in this thread but for me, as a casual Hikaru viewer, they are something else.

    Well, I think there are quite a few popular chess channels that people watch without actually thinking it's going to improve their chess level. (It's actually typical of watching sports). Eg. Botez sisters (who aren't even particularly strong players, objectively), Eric Hansen, pretty much all the "banter blitz" series etc. "I wouldn't be surprised if most viewers have no actual interest in chess" Now I admit that this would surprise me. I might expect that of some viewers, but not the majority. Not sure if there's any way of actually verifying this though
