TL;DR: Gaming journalism is bullwhip, we should all aspire to be Nintendo Power or Christ Centered Gamer-esque in our review practices, we should stop getting worthless clickbait, we should also stop getting politically correct bullshit get shoved down our throats. That's what I want out of it.
But, sure, giving /v/ and /pol/ mascots, getting lots of laughs, and watching Gawker and Box crash and burn is fine, too. |
This. Completely.
The thing here is, the audience they are trying to make feel embarassed has the power to bring it up to them. Dont click their articles. Dont feed the trolling. The less exposure these articles get, the more likely this is to stop. If they dont want you, dont go to them. Its that simple. If they are ashamed to be games journalists, they are the ones that need to change. Not the other way around.

This goes for the video as well. Simply assuming everything in that video is valid, true, and any less propaganda would be a huge mistake. There are people muddying the waters on both sides of the debate.

The thing is that we've been doing tons of damage, as far as their ad revenue is concerned.
I've been spreading AdBlock to my anti-GG friends ;)
For instance, The Escapist has adhered to an ethics policy thus far, while IGN(?!) actually stayed on the high road and refused to let clickbait regarding GG into their news, and there are quite a few fair news sites that got signal boosted while we're at it.
