Content creator irresponsibility in covering #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Akonyl]

you are never going to get big fully time streamers to EVER acknowledge the flaws the game has and you know why? because they are on the payroll ofc so they sold their morality or individuality away long long ago don't hold your breath.

Large content creators... will never acknowledge the flaws of XIV? Have you even watched any of them? Or are you just setting them up as a bogeyman you made up to be mad at?

FF14 content creators complain about the issues the game has all the time.

It's the whole "us vs them" thing, isn't it?
In this case "them" is everyone who doesn't believe the sky is on fire, mid earthquake, while the WiFi is down and someone's eaten the last ice-cream. Content creators just happen to fall under that.

The whole strike started with some valid ideas, I think, but it's descended into a clown show. Now dancers have hacked their bank accounts and Mr. Happy stole their baby. It's probably all Yoshi-P's 4D chess master plan, because he hates the colour green.

I wasn't going to name names but enough is enough.

The people who started the "us vs them" thing are the content creators. Not people in the healer strike thread.

Did [Yoshi P] take it seriously? Did he read the forums? The black mage one, and then the healer strike problem. I am so happy that he didn't even give a f***. To him it's just like bro, shut the f*** up.

The first thing I did, I went to this website called tomestone.gg, and then post his name, he has not done a single... he has not even done Asphodelos, he hasn't done a single Ultimate...

I QUOTE:

See what I mean? This is exactly what I mean. These guys are bots. These guys are not really players. This guy think they are playing this game, but they are not.

I QUOTE:

We are just saying right, the way you're playing the game, you are not really playing the game. You are just being put in the game... you are just a plus one. You are just being there because... you make up the game. You know what I mean? It's like it's like it's like it's like... the world. This NPC is there for a reason. You are like one of them. This is why we call you guys bots.

To be clear, this isn't the only content creator doing this. I will link more examples if I have the time.

The content creators farm clout, views and ad revenue off of outrage. Why would we expect them to take any causes seriously, especially at a time when FFXIV is hot in the news? The Clickbait journalists, and out of touch content creators will just corrupt any message we're trying to send.

And it's working.
Just look at everyone who's been linking their videos here regardless if they approve of what they said or not, giving them more clicks.

This isn't new or shocking. Content creators are not journalists, and therefore do not have a code of ethics that compel them to cover events with a journalistic standard.

LOL, even journalists don't abide by any journalistic standards.

The 32% of Americans who say they trust the mass media “a great deal” or “a fair amount” to report the news in a full, fair and accurate way ties Gallup’s lowest historical reading, previously recorded in 2016.

Journalists are down there with politicians when it comes to slimy individuals.

As others have commented for most content creators it's all about click baiting people for views rather than accurately covering a topic.

I know we all don't expect much from content creators nowadays, but the fact that some of them are harassing others on stream, looking up their logs, calling players "bot players", et cetera, is just sad.

[Karious]

This is why I ignore all e-celebs. They only care about themselves and how much money they can make. They have a massive ego thinking that what they say is the law of the game's community. I swear I can't even go on YouTube to check out a new emote in a patch to see what it looks like without the first result being fucking Meoni with a 15 minute video to showcase a 4 second animation. Get out of here with that.
Hope the strike goes well, you have my support even if I don't play healer, cause it's boring.

[MagiusNecros]

Only valid point Content Creators have said I agree on is the game has a Content Design problem which leads to a very stagnant easy game at all levels, imbalanced Classes, bad gearing system(play all jobs but can only gear one), horrible leveling system, low Role responsibilities.

When it comes to High Horse Creators basically saying that if you don't do Savage/Ultimate you don't matter or you are just a bot I find laughable since more then half of these people had been exposed to using Mods and 3rd Party tools to help clear the "real game" during Omega Protocol or would deny that they partied up with people that cheated.

Hard to take them seriously after that fiasco. When that happened we will all have to ask for any raid that comes out is if the Raiding Community cheated to win.

To be fair Arthars has always been a rude elitist asshole. So, i am not surprised in the slightest.

most 14 CC just love to kiss A*** from zepla with her Fake overly optimistic mindset to xeno the biggest manbaby around(truly hope he reads this) , dude pretends to know what hes talking about and when he gets confronted he comes with some sort of lame a** joke to come up on top and banhammer people, truly this community has a long way to go , there's a reason why 14 has the rep of being "toxic behind closed doors" because it is (look all the threads about Strikes)....and sorry to pop bubbles but this mentality is not gonna change ever
