Does everyone just think they can make a living playing games? Trying to search for Diablo 4 info gets you nothing but mountains of useless clickbait youtube videos. Gotta waste my time jumping thru the video just to find out the guy is dumber about the game than I am.
Like I get it, YouTube is the only place you can monetize your “game knowledge”, but still… Why are there are only like two sites with build guides and info? And those two sites don’t even have community builds, its just a couple guides written by some l33t dude we are suppose to trust. Why is there no useful discussion forums, discords, or at least something not in video format? If people care about becoming gaming influencers so much why can’t we at least come out with a new monetization platform that doesn’t suck and has a dislike button.
Anyone else sharing my rage?
Pretty sure the gaming community is where enshittification started. It’s an incredibly toxic community.

I’m tired of the " look at all this dps!" Then it is someone with max gear at lvl 99.
Feels like intermediate content is what’s missing. I find tons of “beginner” videos that aren’t useful to me, just explain the basic mechanics as anyone can plainly see them. A lot of these were made during the game preview and are highly ranked even though they are full of expired info.
And then there’s the extreme other end of people who use build names they assume you already know inside and out and are obsessing over spreadsheets and drop rates, making their life entirely about farming one particular unique - and they always play in a party as experienced as them on the absolute hardest endgame content and they hate everything Blizzard does.
Wish there were something in the middle. Like “how to lean in to a crit build” or “overview of popular Druid builds that are viable at level 70.”
I wouldn’t lump this in with the whole “enshitification” issue.
This is the end result of gamers not placing any value on the content they consume. People want free content, regardless of quality, over anything else.
So, as you would expect, what you are seeing is free content, regardless of quality, being created en masse.

I just kick all clickbaity channels off of my YouTube feed. If this ends up in YouTube not showing me any Diablo IV stuff on my feed, so be it.
yea its pretty nuts how EVERYDAY there is a new BEST MOST BROKEN build guide. Even when the same content creator made a similar one for the same class like a day or two ago lol
