Fandom Sells Giant Bomb to Independent Creators

I don’t know why you would watch videos where people are goofing around. That seems like a you problem. Instead of picking random reviewers, stick to a few that like the games you like.

And honestly, one of the best reviewers I know does video reviews and puts the recommendation in the title. I still like to listen to the reviews because I can do it while doing other things, unlike reading.

I do. In text mode.

But this way I'll never get to play anything new to me. Best to check varied reviewers even if i don't always agree with them.

Reading is much faster than even listening to a talking head though.

So, I don't get it. You have a problem with reviewers, but you stick to a few? Seems like a self-imposed problem.

The reviewers review new games.

Sure, but a thumbs up or thumbs down is MUCH faster, and therefore better rather than reading someone talking about stuff.
