Sometimes you are so tired that you can’t actively engage in something, but you want to engage with it so you passively engage instead.

This goes for gamers watching gaming videos, woodworkers watching woodworking videos or people with dirty houses watching lawnmowing/pressure washing/car detailing/rug cleaning videos.

You get some of the endorphins of achievement, without having to go through the effort of achieving something.
