I miss opposite POV in this discussion. That's all. All these videos carter to specfic and vocal player group, while not contributing much new to feedback.
I am not dismissing people's work going into videos. I don't like clickbait titles and easy scores with audience.
Trouble is, if the video makers feel that way about the game, then that is the way they are going to make the video. There's nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I tend to try and be as balanced in my videos as I can. However, if I
really dislike something, I will occasionally put out my complete biased opinion. This has nothing to do with potential view numbers (I don't need to make "click bait" or "Echo Chamber" videos to get that, I will get views regardless (and views aren't why I make videos anyway)).
That said, I also put out a lot of positive videos, and on those videos you will notice there are a lot of awesome comments from people who genuinely love the game.
But if there's not enough positive videos all round from content creators, and if they are all always covering "negative" topics - then I think that is very telling. It's not just a case of being an echo chamber, and it's rarely about views. Saying "Engineers are HORRIBLE" is an opinion (even if wrong), that doesn't make it clickbait. Saying "Player Discovers THIS Secret Formula to WINNING, and Devs HATE him!" is more like clickbait, even "I BROKE the Material Trader" would be clickbait. I don't know any Elite content creators who do that, or anything remotely close.
On an unrelated note any content creator that is in it purely for the views, rarely stays around long - you will see that type of creator doesn't make a lot of content, or they make it in bursts and then disappear. The whole process is very, very time consuming - so you need to have a passion for it. And Yamiks certainly has that. He does love the game, if he didn't, he wouldn't be making the videos in the first place.
