It’s the same pattern you see on Instagram or YouTube in other areas. People share the polished version of reality — the wins, the highlights, the moments that make them look unstoppable. What never makes it into the feed are the endless hours of grinding, the mistakes, and the quiet losses that actually make up most of the journey. In gaming, this effect gets even stronger because big wins are entertaining, so they spread faster. The problem is, viewers end up thinking those rare outcomes are normal. That false sense of “everyone else is succeeding” can push people to chase illusions rather than focus on building their own skills and patience.
