Peter Bourgon's blog post[0] about context made me think it is fine. After reading the comments here, I am not so sure. Especially since his post was roughly 4 years ago.
It’s geared toward online cash playing, but I ignore most of the HUD stuff and can use all the concepts in my live games.

Good players generally play around 20% of their hands, but even that vastly changes based on how aggressive the player is. Also, there is much more to factor in than just the hand you are dealt. You might want to play a tighter range (play less percentage of hands) in early position (let's say first or second to act in a betting round), compared to being last to act (where you might want to play a higher percentage of your hands). This is because being last to act in each betting round extremely useful in poker (If you want to know why, there's a lots of great articles on the internet who could explain much better than I [1]).
Not well versed in this subject, appreciate all advice:)
May be anecdotal, but many of my friends have the same mindset. Besides watching competitive eSports tournaments for specific games, usually someone will have a few streamers they will watch play anything.
