This is not only for videogames, every tech products is now presented in a very positive way to push the viewers to buy them using the affiliate links

Thanks

 

[Alebrije]

The logical answer to the questions is : Maybe.

You are welcome OP

Inarguably

 

[GHound]

More that they don't want to get blacklisted by publishers or platform holders that are being dipshits. Next!

Who are you following?

Such a blanket statement is unrealistic. The internet and Youtube are FULL of negative voices who are doing just fine attracting business. And positive-pushing outlets who are unashamed of their positive relations with advertisers (like Disney fans or VR enthusiasts or whatever has fan-based influencers) are generally up-front and purposeful about it.

You just now used a negative influencer (commenting on other influencers, BTW, which is always curious to see fire fighting fire,) to make the case that negative influencers do not exist.

You should be aware of the revenue stream of your preferred content providers. (And YT influencers have relatively few choices of who to seek revenue from, but they also are often very purposeful in what content they're putting in front of their niche audience and generally believe to some degree in what they're saying... sometimes a soap really is the best soap, and sometimes you can get pretty good food through the mail.) Worrying that everybody is out to lie to you and fuck you over with filtered reality, though... I mean, you are ultimately your own filter.

I don't know what's happening in here but

 

[Deft Beck]

In a way, you aren't wrong. I don't know why you made a whole thread for this.

They can't ask the hard questions because the only thing 99% of them have to offer is access.
The only thing that makes them relevant is that they get sent review copies, they get invited to events, they are allowed to interview the people making games, etc.
They can't risk asking hard questions because then they'll loose the only thing that makes them relevant.

And people are to blame too because the average gamer would rather blindly give their money to some big publisher and play the latest hyped game on day 1 instead of waiting 2-3 weeks to get an unbiased review

Dont do drugs and post online, dude....that shit stays with you forever.

Unfortunately looks like the OP is all out of hard questions as well.

You after gold majorgamer10 ?

 

[AgatonSax]

Plenty of slack on this forum.

Another 2 realities situation happening here:

One reality: Posting a video criticizng MKBHD as proof of what you say.

Second reality: MKBHD has been a bit controversial lately in the tech world due to his recent scathing reviews of new tech, to the point where people had to sit down and seriously consider if he could kill an entirely new tech company with one bad review.

 

[Loomy]

What is an example of forums currently picking up the slack?

 

[Von Hugh]

OP thinks he's God's gift to mankind with his super insightful threads

 

[Team Andromeda]

It's very true, they won't say what they truly think, for fear of no likes and no subs.
Thats why none will call out the SCUM that is Nintendo

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This thread almost made me dumber than the one about game characters IQ the other day or so.

Oh shit, is it Friday already?

Holiday tomorrow, may as well be for me.

Have you not been following the mkbhd controversy? This is not true. People blaming marques brown reviews being negative and killing new tech.

You say "Video game influencers" as if this is a real thing.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

All that's needed is for reviewers to consider their readers/viewers their employer instead of the companies who make the products they review.

Unfortunately, audiences don't value reviews enough to pay for them. I don't see how any of this changes, tbh.

So, I don't think the premise in the title is quite right. Really, if a reviewer wanted (and could get) an audiences money then they'd do more to serve that audience. But that's not the economy of reviews now.

 

[MudoSkills]

What even are the 'hard questions'?

 

[Griffon]

You're just not following the right youtubers.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Someone give this man gold membership and shatter his hopes and dreams.

 

[StueyDuck]

What op wants is a gaf slack channel.

And to become a journalist organisation of our own, operating entirely through slack

 

[Wildebeest]

The hard questions are asked such as "why is Sony so good?" and "if Sony was a woman then how hot would she be?".
