Are we getting too much influenced by Youtubers?

There are dome YouTube, namely The Act Man, with whom I do pretty much agree 100%, while there are others with whom I do not. The thing is, I already felt those things said by The Act Man long before I even heard of him, and his videos did nothing to change my opinions of 343i and Halo 5. To me, it's just nice to see somebody who shares my point of view be able to put some serious thought and analysis behind that point of view and share it with the masses.

I personally believe its for credibility purpose one person stating their facts can be easily argued with, yet a youtuber with several thousand subs makes their opinion higher since people see ohh this guy has 10000 people who watch him he has more credibility. Its all a mental thing and the more people who supports a single person the more credible that person is.

Pretty much.

The funny thing is The act man has the same opinion as you, not you have the same opinion as The act man. See the difference?

My problem with You Tubers isn't the content so much its their clickbaty -Yoink- titles they put on their videos "WTF 343 ANTICHRIST LUMINATY CONFIRMED !!!!!". I can just feel my brain cells committing seppuku on the spot whenever I read a title like that.

The content is also an issue, a lot of you tubers come across as rabid idiots who seem to have done little to no research and are just reacting to a statement. That in turn causes the comments section to turn into a stew of super cancer.

There are a few exceptions tho.

A You Tuber I greatly respect is B Dobbins. I don't agree with a lot of his points but I do enjoy hearing his opinion.

At first I thought he was more of the same, he comes across aggressively and seems a little arrogant. But even though I probably wouldn't like him if I met him, he presents his case very well and has obviously taken time and care to actually produce the video instead of just vomiting verbal faeces.

Youtubers were bashed for not criticizing Halo when it needed to be, now they are criticizing and apparently they are in the wrong.

They aren't wrong on doing it. If 343 is giving attention to the real problems Halo is facing right now, we are fine. I just don't like they becoming an argument of authority.

Halofollower has influenced me to hate halofollower with a passion, soooo yes?

Yeah there are a bunch of pleabs in the Halo community as a whole that hate because it's the popular thing to do. Develop your own opinions people. H5 is a great game with its own style of gameplay compared to other shooters... If other shooters are highly vertical in movement, H5 is much more lateral and grounded, for example.

Idk guys, just enjoy the game... I have a lot of fun with it. It's the most fun I've had with Halo in years, and by some of the complaints around here and on other forums, it's like I'm not even playing the same game as some of you people.

Clearly you aren't, when you claim that H5G has "its own style of gameplay compared to other shooters" with a straight face...

Guess what?
I have my own opinion, and I don't like it.
Sorry I don't have the same opinion as you.

Ok cool... so don't play the game or spread negativity.
