You might be right. I can only speak for myself. Keep doing your videos. If there's people that enjoy them, I'm sure they'll keep coming back and watching them. For me, I don't have the bandwidth to watch 5 hours or so of someone else playing a video game. I'd rather just play it myself.

Ha ha, it may be a generational thing. Twitch and Let's Plays are HUGELY popular. My wife doesn't understand at all why anyone wants to watch people play games.
The ones I watch tend to be for humour purposes, and games I've already played.
I'm still impressed TacoAdventure was able to commit to five hours of our games. ^_^
I like let's play streams.
If I really like the look of a game that I haven't yet played, and spoilers are coming thick and fast, I'll bow out, but quite often I'd rather have a social experience (like playing with my brothers when I was younger) than flounder on a game all by myself. "Single player" games are always my preference but I so rarely used to play single player games alone. Streams kind of recreate that atmosphere, but with someone else at the helm.
I enjoy streams live, so I can chat in the window, and make suggestions, I don't very much enjoy just watching a saved stream as it's not social any more.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I don't think I'd like watching me as I'd rather play the games than watch others play them. I do enjoy watching games that I have played and seeing other people stumble around the puzzles or get lost and see how they think differently from me. I play adventure games from across the spectrum from Mystery House on the Apple II, to Zork I, to classic Sierra and Lucas Arts, to modern adventure games such as Tacoma. Usually people pick the games that I play and sometimes people come and say hi and leave because they don't want me to spoil a game that they want to play themselves.
