You write articles for what I assume isn't that great of a pay and most people are just going to watch some guy like Yong Yea skim through them on Youtube for 100 000+ views

Not to mention all the death threats for having the wrong skin color or being a woman.

Or having strobe light videos being sent to you when you suggest a warning for people with epilepsy.

When you have a wrong opinion on a game you get death threats.

Look at the shit that people got for saying Potter game was a bit shit and vapid… and ideologically horrendous.

Or the weirdos who say “IGN gave game X a 8.3 7 years ago, yet the review written by a different person says the sequel is a bit better but gave it a 8.1.. for this sin, we need to dox them”

You don't need to have a wrong opinion, you just need to play a game poorly to get dogpiled

Yeah. The guy who is still getting harassed for having trouble with cuphead.. before the game came out.

So all the people telling him how wrong and bad he was.. NEVER PLAYED THE FUCKING FAME.

I remember a point where I was okay with Yong Yea when he was dunking on Anthem and Fallout 76. How bad has he gotten since?

I don't really have an opinion on the guy, I'm more just commenting on this ecosystem of guys who read news and tweets to their audiences in general

Oh yeah. The rage bait industrial complex.
