Spice in your life: ESports!

It seems like ESports might be the new choice of hobby for people around the world. I read that some experts expect this market to develop into a billion dollar venture one of these days.
Do you think you could get on the ESports bandwagon too? Could you let me in on your thoughts on this matter?

As someone who played eSports for a number of years, I can say for 100% certain that it's more of a spectator sport than it is a player sport. Grinding out your skill and clawing your way up through the ranking ladder, plus the difficulty of trying to find a team to join or players to join your team... It's not only an extremely daunting task, but the amount of toxicity and shit you have to deal with is absurdly taxing on one's mental health.
After I gave up on my dream of being an eSports pro, my mental health and overall demeanor improved dramatically. Now I just watch it from time to time.

It's like any spectator sport when you think about it. The really unique thing I read about was digital horse racing/breeding. People spend thousands on horses online for the same reason one would do it in a real life scenario. I suppose it's more humane, but I couldn't imagine doing it.
