My vote would be Aris/Avoidingthepuddle. Fat, has gout, slightly off-looking; but is competant at the games he plays (mostly), is funny, is self-aware, and is well liked enough companies fly him out to commentate tournaments on a regular basis.

If you broke and don't want to spend 60 bucks
There's still plenty of people who don't know about piracy or get too spooked to do it. Or they're just lazy and probably throw on one of the top channels for a game to at least see what its about.
the whole Let's Play and streaming culture are cancer
This so much

I think theyre only useful for moments when you get stuck on a level and cant progress
There are streamers that are actually entertaining and do interact with chat and their community and shit, sometimes playing games with them without doing what Phil does where he gets mad he isnt the star and cant control them.

Any of the other thousands of streamers on Twitch who are shit at games, beg for money and have massive tits.

Never really watched Twitch streamers. I do use the Lets Plays people do on Youtube to find things I need in a game at times for solutions for a boss fight.
There's a few gaming streams I follow because they do silly shit that I like. I couldn't imagine sitting for hours and just watching someone play through a game.

Streams always seemed like crap because it was this focus on the gamer, and not the game. Lets Plays, the ones people put effort into and not just a camera or Unregistered Hypercam, were good depending on the game. Streams and LPs today generally rely on either brand new and well known game titles or stupid physics games. The good LPs were the ones of people playing obscure games or old PC titles that you maybe saw at a Babbage's but could never afford or find again. Those are the ones that are interesting.
Just watching someone play the game is crap and boring, someone that actually presents the game and breaks down the game and it's mechanics are still interesting.

It's for this reason I enjoy Aris's streams. He mostly covers Tekken and other fighting games, but he tends to do tutorials and analysis of the fighting systems.. Sajam and shujinkydink are also good for that.
Otherwise it's kinda boring tbh.

I have to agree , I love the ones who help you break down a boss battle. Like right now I'm playing Arkham Batman : Blackgate on Vita and I got to Penquin. The lets player I found actually was like , I'm gonna show you how to beat Penquin in like 5 minutes. I had struggled for like 30+ minutes and finally saw the simple way (which was pretty simple lol).

And this is why DDRJake and Arumba are probably my favourites. They play a hard to learn genre (Grand Strat) but in every single campaign I have watched of them, they break down the game, explain their actions, whats going on behind the scenes, whats going to happen as a result etc. MrLlamaSC does the same with D2 whilst speedrunning it.
Watching someone play a game isn't interesting, unless its a game I cannot get (Northernlion playing Bloodborne since I'm PC, or as you said, older obscure title)

Other than people who stream a game because they're exceptionally good at it to a point where it's just inherently fun to watch, every single streamer is a total shitbird. They're insanely fake and annoying, their little donation noise goes off and they instantly look away from the game and start verbally fellating whatever child gave them $2's worth of bits, "Heeeeeeey thankyouforthe2dollars assblasta420 welcometothestream don'tforgettoclickthatfollowbuttonifyouenjoythestream" not even homeless people are this enthusiastic about $2 dude, you're pathetic.
That's honestly unnecessary generalized. What about good gamers who also thank their viewers for donations and subs? Since when is every single streamer who is not that good in games a "shitbird"? I know more then enough streamers who just have fun, have a great community and it's also fun to watch them because their personality is entertaining. Do you had a bad day?
However, here is the thing: It's polite to thank people who gift you something. It doesn't matter how much money there is involved. A gift is a gift. Nothing pathetic there.
Also it's generally accepted that streamers take money. So there is also no problem.
But I would agree on this little thing: Streamers shouldn't take 5 years for their "thank you" for every little cent. It interrupts the stream unnecessarily. But I have no idea what this has to do with this topic.
Personally 99% of my streamers are speedrunners. Yeah, I really like it when games get destroyed.
