Some people just love doing homework, and if they can do it while validating their nerdy hobby, they will. Plus people love having "background noise".
I think there's good ones out there for sure. Jacob Geller is cool. But a lot of it is just people summarizing things for 5 hours and not providing any real insight.
That'ds what I mean, Jacob Gellar used to be one of the few doing it and he's good and actually makes you think.
Then within the last few years it seems like every youtuber and their morher wants to make video essays about video games..
Also a bunch of people trying to get a job or "side hustle" probably. They picked video games because the bar for discourse for them is super low.
