Show of hands: has anyone here ever just looked at Vidya journalism and thought "I could do better?" Or maybe even "I should be doing better?"

@triodug i know i could do better, its kinda why i write my throwaway game rants/praises/etc, but there is no reason to put significant effort into it and log/stockpile them on some GAMER website

@triodug Sadly the internet has become so centralized and search engines are so busted that it's not really possible for new content creators to gain traction except by gaming social media algorithms.

@triodug I think that game journalists can and should be doing better. Does that count? I thought about becoming a journalist and realised that it wasn't for me because there is a lot more involved in it. I don't really want to be compromised. I could write reviews on things, but that is not where my interests lie and I'm not being paid to do it so I don't put the effort in. There is also a lot of people-facing involved in it, in marketing yourself.

@triodug Literally the only way for a video game review site that's not a legacy one to get noticed is to write an edgy try-hard negative review of a universally praised smash hit game that gets put up on Metacritic.

@ArdainianRight @triodug "An HONEST review of" is how any hack attention whore starts his review where he shits on a good game for dumb reasons in order to farm hate clicks.

@ChristiJunior @triodugIf a small review site writes a deep, honest, and even-handed TOTK review that gives the game a 9 or 9.5 out of 10 that shit's gonna blend in with a zillion other reviews, as opposed to the contrarian hack retard who makes up shit to justify giving an obviously really good game a 4/10.

@ArdainianRight @triodug They'd also do the opposite, like Gone Home.

@ArdainianRight @triodug journalism != reviews. editorials are a fraction of the actual value of a publication, which is just simply reporting on events. this is surprisingly hard to come by without bias, gimmicks, sponsored bullshit, or insufferable opinions. and there is a market for this, you and i are part of it

@ArdainianRight @why @triodug I remember the IGN faggots being super proud of leaking Kirby and the Forgotten Land a couple of hours ahead of the Nintendo Direct that actually announced it.

@ChristiJunior @triodug @why Leaking Direct shit doesn't help consumers, it just ruins surprises.

@ChristiJunior @triodug @why There's barely any reporting on labor conditions and absolutely none on what's behind the wokeshit agendas, even when it's indie dev whores sleeping with game reviewers for positive coverage.

@ArdainianRight @triodug @why Hell, not even lesser anti-consumer practices like digital-only games that aren't even properly compressed (Fuck you Western devs, fuck you Capcom!) get properly called out.

@triodug you can even scratch the vidya part. the only part of the news papers that is interesting is the comics, sudoku and crosswords :blobfoxnerd:

@why @ArdainianRight every dude says games journalism sucks and is pointless and they'd never entertain the thought yet post a link to the latest steam deck or Nintendo news.

@ArdainianRight idk I see new content creators pop off all the time. I think it just takes an incredible amount of effort and luck.

@triodug But it's always through centralized social media sites, not their own website.
