>What I don't get: who the fuck watches this kind of stream, and why? Are the viewer counts actually real or is all of this just a massive scam where everyone is inflating counts with the endgame of defrauding advertisers? I was confused too, but I tried watching a stream and discovered I do actually get a strange dopamine hit just watching somebody spend $200,000 on a single slot machine pull over and over. I somehow thought you'd have to be risking your own funds to activate those neurons but it totally works just seeing somebody else do it. I never thought I would get sucked into gambling. Especially slot machines. In fact I used to make fun of slot machines even being considered 'gaming' when there' literally no human input to the result. But I kind of understand it now even though on a higher level it should be boring.
