I guess to each their own, but I don't get it, and I personally wonder how much three is to it. I dunno if I agree that they are really that talented (besides being great gamers). Their jokes are lame. I think it's more that we have so much spare time, people will watch anything.

Why not just PLAY the game yourself? Growing up, that was one of the hardest parts. Having to share the controller, haha. Yeah it's fun hanging out with your buds, and your often exploring the game together, but everyone here waited for the time it was their turn again.
If you play poker competitively, why wouldn't you want to watch a stream of Phil Ivey? (also, Poker streams exist)

You get direct access to him, ask him why he played the hand the way he did and in real time, he answers you. Seems pretty cool to me.
