You’ve hit the nail on the head perfectly but I’d also say they’re a great time killer. I play games on my pc and switch but to me the best way I can put it is that when I don’t have those an idle game is good just because I don’t play it often and I do have to play it to progress (then hit a wall) so it’s something I don’t REALLY have to sink time in to feel like I’m moving along
I kinda went off on a rant so I’m sure some portion of my original point made it in there
Typically there's a personality in those videos. I see what you're saying, and given the continued existence of "time-savers" MTCs, I'd say you're right even if it's not quite the same.
