It's obvious you don't see what the problem here is, as you've posted this a dozen times already. There is much interet in this on every gaming website and on this very website as well.

You not understanding this is fine, but you must see by now that your opinion is in the minority.

There is a reason people go to youtube to watch these reviewers and average joe's. Most people are not interested in reviews/analysis that are done by people who are being funded. We want objectivity and that's hard to achieve when someone is paying you.

This isn't obligatory. I mean if AngryJoe (which is a pretty bad reviewer anyway imo) wants to take MS's money then he will suffer the consequences for doing it. He doesn't have to do it. Same goes for any other reviewer. 

Is he really the minority? How many of the 18 million subscribers that PewDiePie has are "hardcore" gamers who check gaming forums and gaming news? Same applies to any other famous let's player. 

In any case, this has been going on since gaming became mainstream, so I don't see how this is a surprise to anyone.
