What's a business that when you first heard it, thought it was the dumbest idea in the world, and it turned out to be hugely successful? (alien.top)

Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

This is what I think with sports. I enjoy playing football, basket, baseball, ... but seeing others play it has no point at all for me (of course I'm the exception here)

But it's a good point. It's the exact same thing

Only if you put it the way, that you realy only watch the sport itself. But in reality, there is way more to it - being a part comunity, chanting with 70k fans on the stadium, sharing the good moments, sharing the bad moments. I am sure that being a sports fan on stadium/by the tv does not trigger the same chemical reaction in your body as watching a stream.

I mean that's the exact same thing with esports too, what you've described is no different from a standard league match (was a former esports journalist)
