I don't listen to youtube people because for one, they're too easily corruptible (most are) and two, they're no different than you or I. If I want opinion from gamers, I'll come in here and make a thread asking about a game. If I want the opinion of a skilled journalist, I'll read one of their reviews.

As far as those are concerned, I don't even read them anymore either. I might have a glance at the overall meta score of a game (disregarding user review scores for idiocy) but that's about it. I've found that as the years go on, reviewers have started grading in ways I don't agree with. They no longer punish redundancy and lack of innovation like they use to. A game can come out and do absolutely nothing new but do it well, and it gets a 9. That's not how it use to work. There are other things they do now which they didn't do in past that I won't get into simply because the list would be to great and also because I doubt anyone gives a shit about what I'm saying enough to read them so... yeah.

I don't read reviews anymore.
