The "this video game trend" they're referring to is the live service model.

Literally, they didn't have to make this clickbait, people will still watch "All the ways the live service model is damaging the single-player experience".

Clickbait is going to clickbait.

@nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works why don't you post a summary of subject when you post the video? Then people will know if they are interested

Because they're a fucking bot that just wants to stir the pot.

I usually fix the titles but ops this time, an unforced blunder. I wish I had the time to stir pot but I don't :(

Wow. This is the first time I've ever seen you actually respond in comments, so all this time I thought you were a bot. My apologies. Beep boop!

I sometimes comment, I mostly just post and try to keep this community on par with reddit but I also take news from elsewhere and videos.

My bad was thinking about it and I got distracted I usually try to not post clickbait or edit the titles.

I am sure marketing people have concluded I was in the minority, but I developed a complete aversion to clicking on something with that kind of title.

Oh yeah, this trend that is killing games. Respectfully, fuck off, gameranx.

I like this channel's "before ypu buy" series. But his other videos really suck and are clickbaity imo
