I don't. YouTubers just cover stuff people are interested in, they rarely create that interest.

It turns out people like whatever it is COD offers, so YouTubers make videos either about the good or bad things in the latest COD, and they attract the audiences that are looking for it. And that is where "The Algorithm" comes into play, if more people want to know what's bad about a popular game, those videos will get more popular and thus recommended more often.

The people to blame aren't the YouTubers, but the people who watch those videos.
