What i find amazing is how many Sony gamers in this thread has problems with a game they never played.

50+ hours in.
1. Motion puzzles are garbage.
2. I wish I could keep track of my weapons' durability.
3. Button placements for sprint and jump are trash.
4. Locking content (Epona, Hero Tunic, etc) behind difficult to find IRL toys is bullshit.

Anything on Amiibo is pointless. You can find horses in game that are as good or better than Epons.
The tunics are just asthetic things. The actual game has it's own hero tunic, that does the same bonuses as the amiibo ones do, and I think might be stronger as well. So the amiibo ones are basically just a costume.

400,000 views a week is not a lot. Some media vehicles do up to a hundred times better than that and are very much concerned on how much money they are going to win with advertising. In the past, the media earned a lot more from subscription rather than advertising, so quality was actually their main concern. When you earn it all with advertising, only one thing matters - clicks, and nothing attracts clicks better than misguided headlines and deliberately stocking a strong reaction from your target audience. I'm not saying it is good or bad, right or wrong - only that is how most of the media works today, placing notoriety above quality.
I'm not sure, and I'm unable to properly estimate, the proper standard deviation for the scores of the Zelda game in question - but it is very likely that, on a normal distribution curve, reviews on the 60-70 range for a game rated 98 shouldn't really appear until it gets hundreds of different reviews. It's a thumb rule of proper statistics. Now, I don't know what goes on on Jim Sterling's head (and neither do you) but it is reasonable to suggest his review was entirely fair and concerned with quality alone, for there is evidence that it is so.
And it's not by making a strawman of other people's arguments that you will be able to effectively defend his choice, mind you.

He doesnt need adverisement. He is supported on patreon.

And what happens if his views go down to a couple thousand instead of 400k?
I'm guessing he loses any big patreons he has giving him donations.
But either way, whether ad revenue or patreon revenue, he got clicks, attention, ect. This click bait may have brought new people who want ot donate to him that have never heard of him before this. Click bait in essenese means that the video/article got a lot of clicks/views. Patreons are people who donate. The more people that watch something, the more potential donaters.
Patreon vs ad revenue are the same thing when dealing with click bait. They both produce more money with more views. They just get their money differently .
