I find speedrunning fascinating. Like a microcosm of society to study human behavior. How the wins and losses of one generation of players shape the next, pushing the art beyond what was thought possible. A generation of strategies and perception of the limits in speedrunnig, in my view, can be just a few years. Cheaters. Their motives. The attempts to expose them. The creative and not-so-creative ways they cheat. The equally creative ways they are caught. The border between trust and distrust. The psychological need for fame and belonging. Honor. Hierarchy. Tradition. Breakthroughs. Technology. Strategies. Outside-the-box thinking. Advanced analysis. Statistics. Reverse engineering. The psychology of the player. Persistence. Stress. Pressure. Adaptation. Carl Jobst's youtube channel of course is recommended. But also 'Summoning Salt', and 'Bismut'.
