.... How has Youtube ruined the game?

Also, if you don't like time sinks you really shouldn't be playing MMOs.

I will say some of the ways they've been going about their content (how hunts have now disrupted a lot of the ... "natural order" of gearing up, how equipment is made useless far sooner than in other MMOs, the hideous overabundance of RNG in everything, etc) haven't been done well, but a couple of your reasons are odd.
