The only streams I've watched are my friends during prog.
That too tbh, I don't particularly enjoying watching MMO's for the gameplay I enjoy it because of the people streaming them.
Asmongold also just super carries whatever MMO ( or game in general ) he plays on Stream, those numbers don't really say much at all about how successful a game is.
It's moreso that Streamers tend to be attracted to popular games because of the potential audience rather than Streamers making games popular ( in most cases ).

The only Streamer I actually watch for the gameplay too is Maximilliandood when he plays fighting games or Turin on Youtube for RTS especially his Warhammer tournaments, becaues fighting games and RTS are fun to watch.
I don't rly enjoy watching any other genre.

Edit: There actually is an exception in FFXIV and that's Mikepreachwow when he has funny interactions with his FC, his FC is really incredible and add a lot to this Streams.
But you can also watch that on Youtube in clips.
But the theatre re-telling of his ARR journey was hilarious to watch live.
