Much as I hate to admit it as i'm a cheapskate, but I wonder if some of the best stuff is gated behind patreon and subscription services? They don't rely as much on ad revenue (or in Jim Sterling's case*, uses Patreon to get rid of ads), but sadly good journalism and good work is rarely done for free.
I guess i'm just too old (i'm only fucking 35...) and I just can't deal with SHOUTY NEGATIVE videos, but I guess it's the only way to rise above the noise. I'd much rather keep quiet and hold on to what little dignity I have left mind. On a side note, i've noticed a few friends getting into streaming 'let's plays' and podcasts and i'm not sure if i'm jealous or not that I can't bring myself to do something. I have a friend who wants to join me on his movie podcast and i'm sure that would be good fun, but i'm kinda shy and it's a slippery slope to the thrill of attention and then trying to hold on to that attention (which a lot of these influencers are essentially doing!)
I reckon i'll watch the "my response" videos, but in a sense that's also attention seeking; that said, I welcome any attempt to correct hatchet jobs!
@Truck_1_0_1_ - I really like Sega Lord X (even if the video editing does come across as "my first editing software"**), but he is really knowledgeable and quite pleasant on the ears. That said, i've also noticed a sort of generic-ness to his work lately. Perhaps he's going through a fallow patch; but he still comes up with the odd cracker. I loved his videos on every Capcom game for the Saturn and Dreamcast!
*who is getting more aggressive than ever (even if they are hitting the right notes from time to time...doesn't mean I want to spend 25 minutes being told that everything is shit all the time)
**says the guy who can't do it at all...
