I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. I go one step further with this logic.

Grown men watching other men play a sport that they like to play with their friends is equally weird.

This is pretty narrow minded.

I like playing basketball. I will never be as good as Lebron James. It's fun to watch someone else play at the edge of what is possible. I might even learn something I can use myself.

I like software development. I'll never be as good as John Carmack. It's fun to watch someone else talk and think about what I like. I might even learn something.

Don't steal other people's joy just because you don't understand it.

As narrow minded as claiming people who watch a certain type of YouTube video must necessarily have a "bland life"
