As the abstraction of the act of streaming from its individual particularities, NPC streaming presents the distillation of the streaming profession, resulting in maximal efficiency in revenue generation. A quantitative increase in this kind of stream will eventually result in a qualitative transformation of the industry where it will be sublated by an entirely novel mode of production, namely the streamer-capitalist who relies entirely on the viewer for both the production and the consumption of their product, and who will eventually become a node in a never-ending tree of subcontractors.

Does anyone actually understand the appeal of these streams? Is it just kids that watch it? or is it an NPC fetish like moist says?

I don't think it is an "NPC fetish" but rather a fetish for ordering a woman around. They pay her money to act like this not because the NPC behaviour is what they like, but because they like the idea of her being mindless, like a robot, and just obeying their commands.
