    This aspect is why I don't understand why people like Raocow so much.  He practically intentionally looks for things to say just to fill the air, even when he runs out of meaningful things to say.

    He's a different type of LP dude. A type which I don't find particularly engaging, but not getting why people like something different is just silly.

    Because watching a game by itself is seldom interesting. I might as well just play it myself.

    Bizarre non-sequitur rambling, though, that I can appreciate.

    also do not capitalize the r. It's raocow

    if i'm just curious about the game, i'll look for videos without commentary

    if i want to see other people react, though, i'm happy if they're talkative

    I don't mind reactions, I just mind when people are clearly way more interested in promoting their personal #brand and avoiding dead air at any cost than showing off the game.

    raocow works for me, understanding that this doesn't count for everyone, because of consumer capitalism.

    Eventually everyone succumbs to off-topic or promotional discussion in an lp... but raocow starts off off topic and thus cannot slippery slide to off topic or promotional brand messaging...

    The perfect foil.

    Also raocow's rambling isn't really about promoting an artificial brand so much as just being a weirdo for the sake of it.

    It also helps, for me at least, that raocow generally plays platformers or other games that don't require a lot of explanation or attention, so the talking is just to add flavour.

    raocow belongs to a third category, people you watch because you find their stuff entertaining

    also yeah what Bee said, raocow just kind of rambles in an amusing way, it's not some kind of insidious brand promotion or w/e

    Fair enough; I guess it's just a matter of taste that I don't find it amusing.
