I blame it on “content creators” on YouTube. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching someone play and complain about a bad game, but there are so many tubers that use the same format, or even the same titles just reworked a little bit.
A lot of this could be blamed on The Algorithm, but after a certain point you have to start blaming the creators themselves for sticking with the format.
I don’t. YouTubers just cover stuff people are interested in, they rarely create that interest.
It turns out people like whatever it is COD offers, so YouTubers make videos either about the good or bad things in the latest COD, and they attract the audiences that are looking for it. And that is where “The Algorithm” comes into play, if more people want to know what’s bad about a popular game, those videos will get more popular and thus recommended more often.
The people to blame aren’t the YouTubers, but the people who watch those videos.
I feel like The Act Man is catching strays on this one but honestly, newsworthy things will be covered by channels that talk about current events. CoD having a resurgence and doing well only to catastrophically fuck it up is worthy of talking about, so they do. Their jobs are to make content people want to see and people want to know why it’s dogshit… so they tell them.

I sometimes legitimately forget that people are watching the shit that’s on YouTube.
But then again like half of us adults can’t read at a 6th grade level, so I guess video appeals.
Not sure why you felt the need to insult people who use YouTube, but okay.
There are plenty of legitimately good or entertaining channels out there that don’t pander to “The Algorithm”.
