So, there's an actual name for this thing. I didn't realise.
It's something I've only recently picked up on. I don't think I noticed it until maybe a couple of years ago.
However, it's becoming ever more apparent every single day.
I have a few theories about what's causing it, though I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Personally, I fear the primary cause is about how Youtube works in terms of generating profit.
It seems YT has become one of the first roads for geeky insecure people wanting to make money by spouting ignorance.
Now, easy money was always a desired thing - and I certainly would like to make money with little effort as well.
However, the sad part is that "negative reinforcement" tends to be an extremely popular thing to perpetuate.
Meaning, if there's an audience out there who wants to hear people talk shit about whatever they're outraged about - then there's a lot of potential profit for the Youtubers who don't actually care about being fair or truthful.
Anyway…. I just think it's reached the stage where it's actually making a difference for certain games and movies.
What's your take on it?
