The Article states:
But why are people so excited to watch others play video games instead of, say, playing themselves? There are several factors at play (pun intended) here. One is community interaction. Viewers aren't expected to be silent spectators in speedrunning events. Take the GDQ "couch." It's just like it sounds: a living room couch where other runners and the host sit behind the player of the game. There's a lot of friendly teasing and jokes (the couch even has its own Twitter account). And donors can join in on the fun by writing messages that may be read by the host for the couch and audience to hear.
