This may be true, but once these speedrunners start hitting their late thirties, early fourties, I think you're gonna start seeing some true spergouts. Our reflexes just die when we get older, and those frame perfect tricks aren't gonna get any easier. In korea when starcraft players destroy their wrists, they usually do the football (handegg for you eurofags) thing where they move into a commentator role. Speedrunning isn't that big or successful to support an ecosystem like that.
I really believe we're gonna get some amazing content when these people who have bet everything on speedrunning grow up and realize it's not a lifelong career. (especially the troons who have no skill and play shitty obscure games) I mean, just look at Billy Mitchell.
