    hours of unscripted rambling

    i actually really enjoy long form interviews. i watch 5 hour interviews and want more, but not everyone can host them and only a certain kind of content is good long form.

      I haven’t watched a streamer yet that could pull it off except NL. People get into this young with no education or lived life outside of streaming and honestly it’s a pain listening to them try to be relatable to talk about something for hours. Even NL starts getting tiring after the 5000th take on peloton.

        I’m not sure what a “steamer” is. Is it video game related only?

        The content that I watch is for 40+. The example that I was thinking about was of Mormon stories podcast host. He has a phd in psychology. Hearing him interview ex Mormons is really interesting. I always learn something about myself during 5 hour interviews.

          Streamers usually people who play games for 4-8+ hours almost every day with a face cam and a running chat. Twitch is the main website for these people.

      LTT’s WAN show pulls of (maybe 2/3rds the time) 3-4 hour streams with only outlines of recent news and a live-feed of merch messages as direction.
