A 2019 survey conducted in Sweden found that younger people more often watch others playing games online than elderly. In detail, nearly two thirds aged 12 to 15 years stated to use platforms like Twitch, YouTube or eSports services to watch online gamers playing. By contrast, the combined share was six percent among Swedes in the age groups of 46 years and older.
