It is all thanks to the many fiasco's over the years that social media to me looks more of a double edged sword and a deadly weapon when used by either side.
The dev acted out of place, she got fired and that was that, but she said a few things and now Yong and many other tubers have taken arms to rally against her, while she rallies her own angry mob. Both sides fight for their own version of "justice", yet both sides are doing the same thing, fighting for one cause they believe is true, while also trying to validate their rallying together and the actions that occur afterward. As much as I like Yong's content sometimes, I do find that he and other tubers are unknowingly becoming a core part of the problem. The bigger they become, the more power they have and the more power they have, the more they can often abuse it, and no one and I mean no one on this earth is completely immune to corruption or making bad decisions and actions. While Polygon and Kotaku have their power and their podium, so does Yong and Legacy. Both sides have their own form of power and are willing to abuse it in the name of "justice". Yong even claims "I hope this will be my last video on the subject", yet I can guarantee that he will make another video, because he wants more ramblings to ensue because it gives him more of a reason to ramble on and abuse his own form of power. he wants conflict just as much as that dev does (whether anyone disagrees or not). if he didn't want any form of conflict, he would have made one video, throw in his two cents and then be done with the subject. |
To be fair, I believe most of Yong and others videos are in response or counter to the Kotaku/Ect's article.
They are seeing a completely one sided/bias article coming out and thus feel the need to further elaborate on the situation.
