Whats the difference though? if they were using real money it would be good. Paper trading helps newbies learn without risk.

That's exactly the difference. Paper is (actually) risk free and literally cannot go tits up. If you lose all your 'money' you can just reset and try again. If you win shitloads you don't win anything for real. 
  
 I made tons on paper, but that's because you can YOLO all day long. When you're playing with actual money (depending how much disposable income you have) you have to think 'what if I lose it all'
