But I mean, half the male streamers I follow also do not fit into 1 or 2 (or obviously 3), but I still enjoy their streams. Maybe it's that I feel like I can also learn from players who are at my skill level or slightly better and I don't really have much to learn from watching what Hyun does because he's playing in a completely different world from me?
Which male streamers do you watch out of interest?
Well I think you do if you watch carefully, you are not trying to watch to copy someone, you are watching to pick up stuff, like how did they scout, how did they react to what they saw etc. Also you can pick up little mechanical things and even some cool build orders, or how to beat X composition etc. I learned a lot from watching Stephano stream and Jaedong for example, even though as you say they are on a different planet and have 400APM.
Streamers who offer excellent commentary but are of a worse level are obviously also good. but I have never watched Ms. Spyte and heard her offering useful commentary, useful enough to be worth watching. I used to watch a guy called jEcho who was a GM/on a pro team but not all that great because his commentary was stellar.
