Why do people watch/love "Let's play..." videos?

I can't help you with the W3 LP. On a related note, you don't like blind LPs? I vastly prefer blind LPs, in fact I feel like replays LPs should be categorized differently because they're more like walkthroughs than LPs.

eh, to each his own. I'd imagine, that people watch blind LPs generally to see the LPer's first reaction. since I don't like LPers in general, and especially those that make comments as they play, there's no value for me in blind LPs. I watch LPs to skip on playing the game myself. watching a blind LP is counter-productive, since I'm better at games than the usual LPer

I wouldn't watch PewiPie or whatever, there's some actually good informative LP's though, google Research Indicates LP of Trespasser for a great example. Might also watch it for games I'm not interested in actually playing (FPS) which nontheless have an interesting story or do something different.
