Follow the games of the best gamers
There are certain services and platform that make you feel old because you don't get around to understanding or getting interested in certain trends. Nowadays, the kids spend hours on end watching videos on YouTube from channels belonging to hundreds of youtubers that waste their time playing video games, going phone pranks or simply chatting about topics that they really haven't got a clue about. It's really quite embarrassing.
On the other hand, people find it OK to have fun watching other gamers play games online via streaming. But why would you want to spend your spare time watching how others play instead of playing yourself? Hard to answer. The largest platform in this field is definitely Twitch, owned by Amazon, which offers us a live video streaming service aimed at videos games, broadcasting eSports, and other events relative to video games.
