Even without score spoilers, just KNOWING that millions of other fans are experiencing the same moment as you is as chilling of an effect as the game itself!
None. I genuinely never understood the appeal. I've watched it go from being basically not being a thing to being an incredibly lucrative form of celebrity in only a decade, all of my friends became obsessed with watching streamers, and I'm just like why?
Rocket launches. Sadly, SpaceX decided to switch exclusively to streaming on X instead of also doing YouTube. So you get like ultra low bitrate 360p video that refuses to load anyway.
Ones that are on-demand afterwards. I don't have the time to watch an entire stream in one go, and I hate missing out while I go to the bathroom or do chores.
I would watch a few TTRPG streams a few years back but the good ones offer podcasts which is much superior to live streaming. Nowadays the only thing I watch is the occasional smaller jackbox stream when I get an itch to play.
I often lurk on my friends' Twitch streams, whatever it is they may be streaming, to help support them. It is typically The Last Of Us that they are streaming.

Sports. It's just not the same watching it later.

I've endured the World for 40 years. Wanna watch me poop while talking to my cats about life?

Sometimes I watch a conference or similar event, but not really into watching live streams, unless it is nsfw ;)

Does a twitch channel that streams a 30 year old TV show (MST3k) count?

TV in general. All my live TV is through streams (IPTV), but mainly local news and sports.
