Streamers/Influencers Future for Poker?

[S3mper]

How important do you think the Non poker player Twitch Streamers and Youtube influencers who have been playing poker is to the future of poker?

Not only are these games reaching a large and new audience they are also enjoyable to watch even for non serious poker players as these types of people generally have to have outgoing personalities to succeed in their field. ( A trait generally lacking in poker players - who tend to be more introverted)

(Just keep Hellmuth out of the games)

In case you aren't familiar of the games I'm referring to:

People who watch influencers are usually quite young and not old enough to legally play. So for a kid seeing his/hers favourite influencer playing poker the situation might create just a passing whim. Unless that influencer really takes liking on poker. But that is still a long way from a boom.

I think pokers viewership isn't doing so well with people under 30 so in ten years any influx might be considered a boom. lol

But I agree with you so I changed the OP to improve the question a bit
