Not gonna spend 3 hours watching this.

Same reason why an earth circumnavigation in a balloon gets attention, I guess.

Also, Red Bull marketing.

The Youtube live stream is watched by more than 2.2 million people right now and it's really, really boring.

Watching and leaving it on in the background while doing something else are two different things, though. ;)

Nope, still doing nothing, still super boring.

Well, seems he didn't break the record for longest free fall at least.
