Does everyone just think they can make a living playing games? Trying to search for Diablo 4 info gets you nothing but mountains of useless clickbait youtube videos. Gotta waste my time jumping thru the video just to find out the guy is dumber about the game than I am.

Like I get it, YouTube is the only place you can monetize your "game knowledge", but still.. Why are there are only like two sites with build guides and info? And those two sites don't even have community builds, its just a couple guides written by some l33t dude we are suppose to trust. Why is there no useful discussion forums, discords, or at least something not in video format? If people care about becoming gaming influencers so much why can't we at least come out with a new monetization platform that doesn't suck and has a dislike button.

Anyone else sharing my rage?

Was trying to show a friend a video of what a particular game mod looks like the other day, and everything was videos of people going over painstaking details on how to tweak the mod etc etc with little to nothing on what the modded game actually fucking looks like.

I really miss the era when you could look up how to do something and get a very long but detailed (often with pictures) set of instructions. For example game walkthroughs. Now it's a bunch of videos with a bunch of "don't forget to like and subscribe" dipshits narrating the whole thing through.
