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?

        Saw a clickbait with something like “<person I’ve never heard of> SHARES SECRET HACKS TO REROLL AND UPGRADE YOUR GEAR STATS”, the secret was to upgrade your gear and to reroll an attribute 😹 kinda died.

      Yep. In order to use YouTube, it is critical to make significant use the “Don’t recommend channel” function first.
