    …or the videogame is known to make views on youtube.

    Anyway, this don’t undermine the intention of the developer.

      A videogame making views on YouTube is only incentive for first playthroughs as views on YouTube are usually for people’s reactions to stuff. Speedrunning really usually is a passion project.

      Speedrunning isn’t THAT popular. If you want to chase trends there are much easier ways other than spending thousands of hours on a single game to have low chances of make a record.
