I am an avid player of The Sims video games.
For over a decade, I've been a dedicated fan, buying each new release and playing them over and over again. Eventually, my interest in the simulation game led me to find a community of others who feel the same way.
So, I started watching YouTube videos of people playing the Sims. Most of the YouTubers promoted their Twitch accounts, where they would broadcast live play-throughs. I didn't pay attention to Twitch at first, but eventually, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check it out one day.
Warning: Twitch can get highly addicting.
The first time I tried Twitch, I was on the platform for three hours, exploring the content of my favorite YouTubers and chatting with others, like in the screenshot below:
