Sticky social networks. I grew up watching a lot of regular sports but also playing some games. Same deal, once I became busy and decided to stop keeping up with meta changes, champ changes, etc I stopped watching. But I had younger friends who had more time who kept hyping these events so I felt pressured to watch. Then their younger friends would hype up the events and watch. I also have some actual streamers in my friend group so they socially pressure me to watch as well. I've finally gotten old enough that most of my friends have largely stopped watching eSports for fun. Funny enough I still watch regular sports because the meta really doesn't change that much at all.
