Why are gaming Youtubers so immensly dense ?

[Eva]

Why are a lot of the top search result Youtubers so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid when playing a game ? They ignore most of what the game tries to tell em to do in order for a certain function to work, barely pay attention to the UI and then continue to talk about how they 'didnt know how to do that stuff'

I mean. Come on, i can understand it a bit of its a new game but even then most of Them Just blatantly ignore the games messages and Just ♥♥♥♥ around like a chicken without a head. Its so painfull and annoying to watch that it makes me stop after one of two video's.

Of course. I need to adapt too to the game's controls but i dont take 5 video's worth of time to figure out the controls and the UI.

Odd you should say this I was just watching a "let's play video" by Delgar3 and 90% of the comments were telling him how to play the game properly.

This is what happens when they put too many points on Charisma and ignore Intelligence.

Maybe i should make a 'Lets Play' video for my channel which is all about READING THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST. That would be unique.

Because what youtube personality care about most is being entertaining. And frankly being terrible in games is often time entertaining for most people.

I haven't seen that many people on youtube play games, but the ones I've seen always feel like they are in a hurry. Like they have to pick up their kids from school or pick up their steam pressed suits! ;P

Or cringey for smart people like me.

Was that the guy that kept getting turned into Swiss cheese in Hitman?

Partially this, and partially the fact that trying to focus on two things simultaneously (entertaining viewers and taking in everything the game throws at you) can be extremely challenging.

Either one of those will suffer from the lack of focus, and in most YouTubers' case it's the gameplay that suffers. This is understandable since their job isn't solely to play the game, but to also entertain their viewers while doing so. If their work were only to play the game then they might as well hide their camera and mute their microphone and just play the game.

That's why obvious things like shooting moving enemies are easy, but anything that requires half a brain to analyze and understand (go towards where the light it lit, push this button and then the other button, etc) takes a cringeworthy long time to realize. Because they're internally always prioritizing whatever commentary chain of thought that currently occupies their brain over the game itself.

So the solution to these situations are almost always the same, really: Shut up and give the game your undivided attention for 30 seconds without any interruptions at all.

Too busy talking and not putting effor learn game.

People who like to learn games are not making videos… they are too busy learning game.

That's not true of coruse for all. In competitive multiplayer games it's usually the other way around. Best players are most popular. Nobody going to watch bad players.

The only youtube gamer i've been able to get into a lot is Megan_Yeah because she's actually intelligent. Her being beautiful and charming help, too.

Well, it's the easy way, that's why there are lots of gaming YouTube channels...

Considering their target demograpics can be seen in the real world putting fidget spinners in their mouths or dropping said fidget spinners every two seconds, the youtubers HAVE to be dense, as any sort of intelligence will scare off their mentally derpish audience.

Because doing commentary while playing is kind of hard for most people.
