Attention Bandwidth

There’s a finite amount of time that you can focus on any given thing. The sheer volume of people who don’t instinctively comprehend that concept is baffling. Aspiring Twitch streamers lacking in any charismatic qualities are particularly obtuse in that regard.

Instead of becoming more entertaining, or better at the games that they are playing — they’ll complain about the bigger more watched streamers who are good at the games, and who are more entertaining. It would be funny if it weren’t so irritatingly sad.

If you’re not the best at a game, and you’re not entertaining… Why would I waste my time watching you?
