This makes me feel kind of alienated.

I don't think I've ever watched someone playing games intentionally, outside of like "how do you do this part?" guides, and maybe a couple hours spectating in games total.

Ok, and a handful of like "let me solo her" highlights that made it to me. But I never like seek it out.

I'm principal Skinner, I guess.
