People enjoy watching it, People Donate money while watching it, What's the problem?
I know that Charity stuff usually is to do with funruns and marathons but not everyone is cut out for that sort of stuff. If they are able to raise money for a good cause by streaming themselves playing videogames for 25 hours straight then that's a good thing imo.
It's easier to make people donate when they are being entertained/feel like they get something out of it. I've seen one of these raise £25k for a hostpital. From one person playing Minecraft and something else that I can't recall.
That's £25,000 or about $40,000. One Person raised that for a hospital.
It's certainly not something to be sniffed at.

[quote]It's easier to make people donate when they are being entertained/feel like they get something out of it.[/quote] This is my point; it's not the teams that are donating, it's the people that the teams contact. Some are streaming it, though in my opinion watching someone play video games sounds incredibly boring. The point I'm making is that donors generally tend to participate in these events. Would you sign up for a charity 5k just to watch from the sidelines while the event hosts run?

Hmm, well it's different stuff for different people/tastes really.
