As the abstraction of the act of streaming from its individual particularities, NPC streaming presents the distillation of the streaming profession, resulting in maximal efficiency in revenue generation. A quantitative increase in this kind of stream will eventually result in a qualitative transformation of the industry where it will be sublated by an entirely novel mode of production, namely the streamer-capitalist who relies entirely on the viewer for both the production and the consumption of their product, and who will eventually become a node in a never-ending tree of subcontractors.

On the shitposting community of Lemmygrad we now have a perfectly written Marxist analysis of NPC streaming and that's beautiful

Does anyone actually understand the appeal of these streams? Is it just kids that watch it? or is it an NPC fetish like moist says?

I don't think it is an "NPC fetish" but rather a fetish for ordering a woman around. They pay her money to act like this not because the NPC behaviour is what they like, but because they like the idea of her being mindless, like a robot, and just obeying their commands.

I'm not an accelerationist but trends like this make it difficult sometimes.

Easy way to make some quick money if you're a cute girl, I guess.
