DH does this but he is a gamer. I still find it weird. Though I like to watch and play volleyball, so maybe it's like that? To me it just seems like watching someone else read a book.

That's what it seems like, but I suppose it can slightly be like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000? Watching a movie with people watching and commenting on a movie? The person I've watched is pretty sarcastic and has kind of weird humor like me, so maybe I'm just drawn to his personality when commentating?
 
It always drove me crazy watching This Old House where these people would tell Bob they paid $500,000 for a house and figured if they spent another $250,000 on renovation they would have a pretty nice house.
For $750,000 you better have a pretty nice house.

DH will laugh sometimes, so maybe that's what it is. He's mentioned comments that people make while they're shooting or whatever it is that is happening.
 
AND a short timeline.

I just don't understand how we're supposed to believe there are people that are going on the show and actually believe the first house with everything they want and no renovations is realistically an option for them. If you've seen one episode, you know they're just setting you up there.

THIS! This annoys me every time! One person was like "why did they even take us here, we can't afford this"

Erm, haven't you seen the show you agreed to be on?! That's how it works. Plus you have to know they are renovators. Why would you think the perfect house is yours?

I can't remember if it mentions it in the application or not, but I have heard one or two couples actually ask if they could afford it. I think they have to act surprised. There are people out there that just don't get it too though.

So there's a guy who used to work for me that would stay up all hours recording his gaming sessions, then oversleep and be late for work 2-3 times a week. He had some plan to actually make money somehow from posting youtube videos of him playing games and describing how to play a game. Now I'm sitting here thinking it'd be hilarious if you were watching this guy's videos. I know they're out there, as his co-workers have mentioned watching them...primarily for ways to make fun of him, I'm sure. He's actually a good kid and smart, but it amazed me that he would burn up his vacation being late because of playing video games. I mean, I'm not surprised that it happens, but that this guy was one to fall into it.
 
I've got a really, REALLY embarrassing confession to make. I've found myself spending time on YouTube watching video game game plays. Like, I'm not a gamer. I have a PS3, but it hasn't been played for probably four months and I might play a game on it from time to time usually. But for some reason I find these videos funny and enjoyable. There's definitely something wrong with me.

Seriously, is that a spitball guess, or where do you see these stats? I don't need to look that I'm probably one of those 5, but I see references to thread stats once in a while, but I've never seen where to get them.

There CAN be money to be made doing it. I don't know how, but there is. The highest subscribed person on YouTube is one of those people (Pewdiepie) though I don't know how people can stand to watch him if they're over the age of 12. He makes good money though. And plenty I YouTube vloggers either make good money or have an actual career off of YouTube. I like to watch the Vlog Brothers, Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart's My Drunk Kitchen on there, and I know they all make a living too.

I don't think many gamers make a living doing it, but a few do. Markiplier is another one of the highest subscribed YouTubers and he does it by playing games too?

My drunk kitchen lady is funny.

Are you my 7 year old?

He watches Minecraft Youtube videos almost more than he plays. I got him a couple new games for his birthday but he'd still rather play Minecraft and watch British guys play it on youtube.
