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

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

    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.

    Yeah I agree. the effort to profit ratio on speed running is so low there is no way anyone is doing it for profit over their love for the game.

    I tried speed running a game once and it was exhausting. It's like accusing math professors of publishing papers for the money.

    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.
