Why does videos of pokemon showdown get 100k+ views on youtube, but when I actually visit the website and try to play there is only around 1k people playing and 2k online?
>>59400703People would rather watch others play games? Happened with Pokemon. Since 2015 with Persona 5, the idea that watching video games counts as making you a gamer became popularized as well.
>>59400703Because people want to see high level skill, which they don't have themselves. They don't want to watch themselves lose, they want to see someone else play the game againest others and win.It's like asking why do more people watch football instead of just playing it themselves.
Blunder funny moments are funnyThe only thing with any actual people playing is random battles and even that is super dead lately and the admins are trying to kill the OMs and NatDex for some reason
>>59400736No, some of the highest viewed showdown games on yt are low ladder or meme shit.

>>59400703My god why did they make the magician cat so sexy? Those hips and that waist hnnnnnng
>>59400703Watching a hard competitive game is easier than learning to play it.
>>59400930Also, youtube views are cumulative compared to the number of players in real time.
>>59400703Nintendo is known for using bots and Indians to manipulate the normies
>>59400703It's 10k on showdown OU you fucking liar.
>>59401243Yeah, because all the brown indians are waking up.
>>59400703people who care about smogshit are almost entirely campaignshitterscampaignshitters don't actually play PvP therefore they watch smogshit videos
>>59400703Good question, my friend
>>59400703Normies don't what what a showdown is, they'll download champions if they're interested in PVP. Kids too poor for Nintendo games are the ones watching those videos.
>>59400703God Meowscrada is so fucking ugly
>>59400703People want to see salty noobs get epically destroyed, not BE the salty noob
>>59402440god your whore mother is so fucking ugly, chapjeet
>>59400703>go to a niche website that's really only known by people who care about competitive stuff, and only get seen by said peoplevs>go to the(?) biggest media website in history known by almost literally everyone, and have the possibility of being seen by literally anyoneDamn...

>>59400703Because Showdown players are concurrent while Youtube views stack up over time
