Like if it’s well known it can’t be proven why is claiming it is based on your own dissatisfaction any better or worse than claiming it’s good based on your own experience
It's possible we're having a semantics disagreement, or I'm just having a semantics misunderstanding re: the video, or both. I'm interpreting "The Decline of FFXIV" as a claim that the game is "in decline," meaning that the game has entered or has been in a long-term downward trend in player count, earnings, and (likely) developer resources.

If she just means "I believe the quality of the game is declining," then, yeah, fine, totally acceptable argument to make, but also not quite the same claim.
