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

[ZephyrMenodora]

Actually you're wrong, MrHappy reads the forums and make react videos to forum posts. Capiche ?

And those videos aren't posted here, and he doesn't post here. He uses content here to react to for his own channel views and clicks, and unless someone like you drags those links over, I wouldn't know they exist.

That isn't him interacting with this community. That is him using this community as content to discuss with his viewers/followers.

I like it when content creators scroll through the forums and my signature is front and centre.

EDIT: Well, not in this post apparently.

Personally, I have nothing against content creators. I just take issue with the gophers that like to field for them. "Guys, this person said this about the game, go check it out." That doesn't sound cringe to anyone else?

Ohh we have such an independent person over here he does not like any celebrity and does not listen to anyone. He's his own person. He's so cool !

You should try having an independent thought once in a while.

I really don't understand it.

I just find a lot of FFXIV YouTubers as cringe, unentertaining, etc.. It is pretty much consistent with every single FFXIV YouTuber, or content creator, I have ever been linked or seen.

I really don't understand it.

I don't hate all of them, just a select few who make crappy content and get too much praise for it.

There are a lot of really good FFXIV YT channels that don't get enough traction.

I appreciate your continued support.
Don't forget to smash that bell!

Some people just don't care for youtubers and their opinions, same as some people don't care for opinion pieces on blogs or in the newspaper. I did find it kinda funny how when the general consensus is "game good" from youtubers, the people who hate the game too much say it's not valid or they're shills and the people who love the game too much flock to them. But when the inverse happens and a few big streamers start saying "game bad" then suddenly both side's positions flip. Human nature I guess

So, was this really 9 pages of "You should enjoy this YouTuber. You should vilify this YouTuber. Who the heck puts anything except memes and humorous videos on YouTube?" with the inevitable "white knight/dark knight" controversy?

I liked that one person who provided an ultimate guide to Dark Knight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmSNVYkKFAY
