It would never occur to me to go watch someone do a whole speed run. Even less so to watch someone "doing a bit". Like, making a character that looks like Shrek and invading in a swamp is kind of funny, but I'm not going to watch that.

I don't know how to explain the complete void that is my interest there. Like, I wouldn't be mad if it was on in the background. But I just... Don't find it appealing. Like watching paint dry or looking out my window. It's there. Sometimes there's a cat. But I'm never going to be like "sweet let's go watch outside the window "
