So instead RPG streams rely almost entirely on the streamer being entertaining enough to make up for these downsides. I think he is, and it definitely helps that he really enjoys the game because you can feel the enthusiasm. Low numbers are kind of an inevitability for things like this. Fortunately, he's already said he's doing it because he wants to, and he doesn't give a shit about numbers. So props to him.
