FF Youtubers are always wrong

[Vickii]

You act extremely bothered by it.



Then don't watch them, they're the product and you're the consumer. If you don't like what they're putting out then stop giving them clicks that's literally all there is to it. You want someone's channel to die because they got speculation wrong?



...Are we sure this isn't some personal problem you have with this content creator cause jeez man.

Oh I’ve stopped watching. And yes I’m sure it’s not a personal problem, you’re projecting things onto my words, you assume I’m thinking a certain way but nothing I have says indicates that this is anything more than justified criticism I have.

My point is simply on the whole they are mostly wrong, they are bad at what they do for a living and they are incredibly fortunate to continue doing it. My boss would fire me if I got most of my work wrong.

How can they doing "mostly wrong" and how can they be "bad at what they do for living", when their goal is entertainment and when there are obviously a lot of people who are entertained by their content?

Yeaaaaah, press X to doubt. Also on the note: Forspoken was a decent guess in context (filed around the time other expansions filed for copyright), they didn't have "nothing" to back it up. If you're going to play the "it's justified criticism" drop the hyperbole. (Also, who the <kupo>? I only follow a few content creators casually and I wouldn't call any of them ugly. Again, if you're talking about someone in particular, speak up, otherwise drop the strawman)

You think ALL they do for a living is speculation? Not... guides, lorecasts, commentary, ultimate streaming...? From the ones I caught: Meoni showcases mounts, minions, and glamours; Uhh Ashe? Someone, does crafting guides; MrHappy is commentary and guides; MTQ (does she still stream?) did guides; Larry does "funny" videos; Ethys does lore Q&As and analysis; GamerEscape is commentary about gameplay content and lore; Speakers of the Realm is commentary... I think only a few jumped into speculation but... SPECULATION, and the video I saw from MrHappy was pretty adamant about saying he's just guessing.

And who the heck is their "boss"? They're their own bosses, the closest to a "boss" they have is their patreons. And even then they're not "bosses" so much as "consumers", and those consumers hold the acquisitional power to... stop consuming. Given that they haven't been bleeding subs, they must be doing something that keeps them happy.

MTQ (does she still stream?) did guides;

Just to answer this in case anyone is still wondering, yes she does still stream. In fact, she streams almost every single day but doesn't just stream 14 content even though it's still her main streamed game. She will stream prog (currently going through DR Savage) and will basically stream her guides by taking random groups of players (largely focused on her active chat) through current end game content by giving call outs and helping people get their clears.

So your problem is that they earn money by doing this? That's just the nature of content creation. People can post something on the internet, and as long as it can have advertisement, the creator can earn money from it.

Outside of that, it's really no different than anyone posting on forum/reddit to spark discussions.

And speaking of that, here's the latest video (at the time of posting) from Mr. Happy with another expected job speculation/prediction video, with even him saying how he's been wrong several times.

At the end of the day, it's about discussing a topic people can enjoy, not about how a person earns a living, unless you're grateful for the entertainment provided and want to support them. But if not, then don't worry about it and watch for free or not, up to you.
