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?

Icy Veins was always my go-to for builds. I think in the first few weeks of the game it's not had the 'best' builds, but that's more to do with the fact theory-crafting is still taking place. I expect it to be the definitive place for build recs once rebalancing patches begin to settle and the theory-crafting for the base game (excluding seasonal affixes) is stable.

D4builds.gg is what I'm using for build Inspo at the moment, but it's taken a bit of digging around there and YT to find someone who's not constantly pumping out "BEST BUILD" vids that conflict with yesterday's "best build", and is instead refining the one build.
