While I have no interest in video games personally, I would assume the main reason people watch is for the personality of the individual playing.

This. Very rarely do people get big from just being good at a game. It's about the personality of the person streaming. In fact, there are successful streamers that aren't particularly great at the games they play.

May I suggest Dan Floyd's playthrough of Hollow Knight?
Some delight fanart has come out of it, including The Knight getting frozen yogurt with various characters. Here's the only non-spoiler piece of fanart I could find with a cursory search. source

Never thought I'd quote an MCU movie in earnest. Let alone Age of Ultron.

I confess to being bemused by this thread of conversation. Though it's a variation on a recurring topic. QC AIs aren't computers; they are emergent lifeforms; and they do in fact have personalities.

That’s on me not understanding the appeal of speed runs — I assumed that watching people play games was about skill. I guess it’s like cooking shows — it’s about personality as well as technique.
