If you want video game streams then look for video games. I looked up the starcraft 2 section and there's not a single thirst trap streamer, same with the video games that I play.

People are always getting pissed off that their favorite thing no longer exists. It's still there, dummy! You just think it doesn't because complaining is more popular than talking about the things that people like.

there are a few in very popular yet casual categories like Overwatch, but yes you have to go into hot tubs to see them and spend time in those streams to get recommended them

Who? I'm looking at the Overwatch 2 directory right now and can't find a single one. Like half of them listed don't even have face cams on, judging by a quick scan of the thumbnails.

I think a lot of the people talking about this literally just mean there is a girl playing video games

I mean by the token of there being "a few" there...aren't many.

I guess checking on a Saturday night might be my only advice. YMMV, I've seen it happen rarely, maybe it was a fluke.
