Twitch will bring new recs and new regs to the tables. No need to freak out.
This.
Watching a pro presenting arguments, explaining thought process and making decisions based on that does not automatically make you better at the game. You have to put way more effort than that just to be break even these days.
When i watch jcarver explaining a sick hand i understand him like a book, but when i get to my tables I'm very often like - well, ****, I have no idea what to do in this spot.
Most of the people will not know how to use all that information streamers are putting out there, and that's the key thing here.
The same thing is with league, hundreds of thousands people are watching top ranked players crush every day, and yet 88% of the viewers are below platinum (in poker terms one could argue its below 25nl). I just took the general ranking statistic, probably is close enough to be put in an argument.
