First of all, successful streamers tend to have entertaining personalities (at least their audience thinks so). Other than that, I think there are a few main reasons why people like it. 1. Sometimes you just want to veg out and watch something, not be an active participant. You can enjoy the game without putting in any effort. 2. There's a community aspect to it. In a single-player game like Fallout you get to see someone else enjoying and talking about what you enjoy, and you can interact with others who share the same interests. 3. Many of the people who stream are really good players. Almost no one reaches that level of play so for most people watching a streamer is the only way to experience it. They can also offer insights and help make you a better player. It is kind of weird and not traditional... but it does make sense to a young'n like me.
