Welcome to the modern age.

Remember black and white TVs??

I think streaming makes them play better, they have more accountability if people can see them play.

I hear you about that! and the good thing is we are all here to witness it!

Yes, the benefit of these streams is that they are taken seriously by the stream-makers, and you can learn from them how some players play their hands.

What to await us in 2024, just wait and see, in the past progress was slow, today the speed has increased, if we don't run, we may be left behind, it is good to be able to experience all this transformation

We are witnessing the golden age of poker content, but reaching the highest peaks has its own price and a certain ceiling of development. One thing that saves us is that many players love creating content so much that this is what keeps them in poker to this day.This is good for the industry because the best players create the best content.Obviously, they are now supported by solid sponsorship contracts, but I am sure that commenting on hands on stream forces them to strengthen their knowledge, and feedback from viewers forces them to return to the hands they played.
