from what I've seen does work the way you described!
I think many formats evolved as we went more and more online. if writing sprints existed as encouragement of productivity (first offline, then online because the community became more global), reading sprints just fill in the gap that occurred when social interaction became limited. many people don't have anyone to read with. or do anything else. streams are on the rise and the feeling of community is among the reasons. I'm just looking at numbers:
blogger A
stream length: 5h
views: 2096
likes: 123
subscribers the person has: 35k
blogger B
stream length: 1h
views: 163
likes: 11
subscribers the person has: 9k
blogger C
stream length: 3,5h
views: 2781
likes: 152
subscribers the person has: 31k
only one stream has comments but! active chats in all streams! so people are probably not watching those once they're over but they definitely talk to each other while the stream lasts
many streamers have so to speak core viewers, meaning the viewers come to a stream like they would to an event where they'll meet people they know. this puts the whole format in a slightly different light, I guess. while you might use it as a motivation to get through a book you're struggling with (doing 20 minutes at a time, with a legal distraction between the sprints doesn't sound as boring as just reading alone till you're done), the majority are probably just people who like talking to each other and who are brought into a reading context by the host. maybe they pick up their books when the chat goes quiet
I'm just speculating here. it's day 2 or 3 since I discovered this kind of videos or streams, so it's hard to understand what exactly is going on here 
but I think we've come somewhere close

Ha ha ha ha, that is the long way around to it.
So have you come to any conclusions about creating a vlog yourself, then?

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised that so many people watch those. I watch/listen to the weirdest things when I want something for background noise.
Finished the first book of the year, that I MOSTLY read in 2022. Only needed 5 reading sessions to finish it. I was going to wait a bit before started the 3rd book, but so much happened in the end that I'm ready to jump in. A shame that whenever I find myself really like a minor character they end up dead.

I'm not surprised either. When I have trouble falling asleep I watch videos of a lady brushing someone else's hair lol.
I finished The Dancing Cats of Applesap. It was ok. Nothing too special.

Just finished another mystery, "The Unfinished Clue" by Georgette Heyer.
The murder victim was my least favorite character and I didn't care for the one who did it, either, so that made me happy.
I always feel bad when the murderer turns out to be a character I liked.

When I read I like simple background noise like the ceiling fan or if it's nice out the window open. Except when the neighbor kids start screaming. I have no clue why the hell the scream so much (sometimes it's still clear as day with the window closed).
I don't like it when characters I like get killed off. Like ya'll couldn't pick the annoying character.

I don't like background noise. Any kind. I like perfect silence. That's what I enjoy the most.
And I don't mind characters getting killed. Even the ones I like. As long as it's meaninful, and specially if it's an unexpected twist.
That's what I loved about the GoT books. So unexpected.
