There's also those in for the profit (winning competitions) and a fair amount of attention seeking on Twitch because a lot think better score = more viewers.

Yeah seen the streamers who got exposed on YouTube. Claiming it's all skill until they accidentally reveal their cheat overlay then start claiming they got hacked or its their roommate who messed with their PC.

Better score is more viewers, of course.
