Watching people play videogames is popular.
Are there any studies on how watching streams and let's-plays lowers a person's IQ?
In addition to the financial and social harm, a passive hobby like that can't be healthy for a person's brain

Too early for that I'm sure but an analogue equivalent of boys loitering around watching one or two other people busy in an activity is as old as time. I doubt it's harmful for IQ but its certainly time wasted for developing brains.

They're friend simulators. Giving strangers money to say your name is the strange development.

Attending lectures lowers intelligence
Watching professors do what you want to do is popular.

WARNING

When you make a determination then try to find evidence to convince others what you already decided upon or try to create evidence of that you previously said is true, this is the definition of pseudoscience. OP is engaging in pseudoscience and if you try to feed this troll then you are engaging in it too.

so having a theory and looking for evidence for it is "pseudoscience"? how is it different from science?

If you can't tell the difference or tell which one of these is pseudoscience, then you're vulnerable to misinformation and bad data.
You don't have to agree with this. I'd be happy if you try to challenge it, but I please give it some thought and articulate your reasoning when you do voice your objections or counter-argument.

So rewording a hypothesis determines if it is pseudoscience or not? He also isn't talking about doing any actual work. The more I think about it, you just seem like an amazon spook. His wording is off, but he is looking for studies of effects of hobbies on intelligence. Your conclusion is so farfetched. I was going to sage this just for being a bad topic, but fuck you.

I don't know if it's any worse than watching TV, but I can tell I'm getting old because I have no clue why watching someone else play video games is considered enjoyable.
