It would be better if they posted their own thoughts

There is value in discussing content creator videos that bring up issues or ideas. The only time there isn't, is when the video has no valuable feedback in it (for example, a video of them eating or discussing random dramas that don't relate to the game at all).

So what is your constructive criticism? Hmmm?

They post it all the time, to be fair...

I saw a comment thread of people saying while they agree on post EW being lackluster theyll actually go against what she said just because they dont like her.

There are people who do that. I once met a passionate Xeno hater in a raid and they wanted to "not use a strategy" because Xeno made it. Sabotaging the raid because they don't like Xeno.

But it works both ways. On day 1 everyone will load up Xeno and MrHappy on their second monitor and copy their strats, even in a "blind" party.

Streamers are just players

I agree, but the reality is that their success makes them visible to Square Enix, who watch their videos. This makes them the most effect way to convey feedback to Square Enix. All their subscribers and Likes suggest a lot of players agree with what they say as well, otherwise they probably wouldn't be where they are.

For evidence of that look at how long issues like the alliance raid item level trick were unnoticed on these forums until MrHappy started reading them.
