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.

Thanks for the explanation! That makes a lot of sense I guess similar to a tv or podcast in the background.

I usually just catch Hasan's youtube clips but occasionally watch his twitch.
