So uh..why does this forum hate FFXIV youtubers so much?

[Mr_Gyactus]

I really don't understand it.

Do you live in a black or white world?

It is not "hate", it is "I don't care about a random guy/girl opinion".
I apply the same concept at 99.99999999% of the world population.

I really don't understand it.

Having a differing opinion on something is an easy target in a place of anonymity.

It’s dumb. It’s okay to disagree with someone, but lowering to personal attacks and forgetting the original discussion is the big issue on these forums.

I don't think that this forum hates Youtubers, Twitch, or Kick Users at all. Believe me, I do not want their job because you have to entertain everybody on your stream for a lot of hours and try to get new people to subscribe to them and send them money so they can continue that way of life.

But I think the issues stem from some folks just posting these videos and saying that "this is their opinion" but have no substance behind that reasoning. If their opinion matches with the streamer's then I can understand but it is their own words, not yours. Besides I am going to make my own assumptions without any outside help that includes Content Creators.

People just hate that they will do anything for a extra dollar or view. Content videos are padded out to be an extra 10mins+ or a hour video that could of been 10-20. Making the same video about the same topic a few times. Or just “there is more to this drama! Omg!” with a clickbait picture.


My YouTube feed has had no ffxiv videos lately as I haven’t watched a ffxiv related video in a month+

I think for a few here it’s not hate, it’s just the forum is being spammed now with content creator react threads. The first one was fine and discussed at length even. It’s 140+ pages even.

But then another thread came, and another, and now we have 7 of them and people are losing interest. I don’t come here for a sub forum of reacting to content creators who don’t even interact with these forums or post here themselves. A thread once in a while is fine but now a certain person just keeps looking for YouTube videos to post links to - always in new threads.

I really don't understand it.

I dont just dislike ffxiv YouTubers, I dislike any "gamer YouTubers or streamers"

First I dislike how people act like everything they say is right and blindly follow. I hate what they have done to games and honestly I hate what they have done to youtube as well, I just don't understand why people including game devs basically worship them. I find them annoying and stupid that either white knight or just say w/e to get clicks and views.



its as bad as all the people who follow sports so annoying stupid jocks... and now gamers are just as bad with their "streamer worship" no one has a mind of their own anymore and for those of that do... well ya

I'd have to say, I tend to try not to get too involved in these discussions - mostly because I still enjoy the game - faults and all - and, sadly, it doesn't seem as if my mindset really fits the narrative of these threads.

However, I will also say that it's a pity that threads on this particular subject are so prevalent. I mean, if I were to create a thread to discuss a very recent Youtube FFXIV Reaction video I happened across entitled "How FFXIV changed my life" I suspect it would be poorly received here.

At least the tone would be new compared to 7 threads saying the same thing. But I imagine the YouTube thread lovers would show quite a different face in such a thread.

[Avatre]

It's not really the YouTuber that people have a problem with most of the time, it's the people who post their stuff here with such half-assed logic to backup what the YouTuber said, just to stir up drama/controversy and not actually contribute to the conversation around what was discussed in the videos. The majority of the time, they are the ones who also derail threads and go on personal attack vendettas.
