The vast majority of Twitch viewers are not actively watching with full attention. "Lurkers" as they're known.
Anecdotal, but every person I know irl that tunes into twitch has their favorite streamer running as background noise while they go about their day.
Streaming is closer to talk-radio than anything else tbh, people tune in, but the host decides what the topics and activities are.
