Why do adults watch other adults kicking a ball?

Because it is or was their hobby and it is fun to see other people do stuff that you like. Some streamers are very skilled so it's similiar to sports, others are entertaining like podcaster or comedians.

Yup, I watch one strategy gamer because they're way better than me at the game and I learn stuff about the game almost every time. I don't have the time to really dig into such a complex game (I still play, but I have kids and a FT job), so I guess I kind of live vicariously through the streamer.

I don't see as much point in other games though, because I'd rather play than watch. But strategy games have a steep learning curve so I get more out of watching.
