Let's actually talk about Games Journalism, Corruption and Nepotism, y'know?

---IMPORTANT FAN MESSAGE BELOW-- Obviously this video wouldn't exist without all the Zoe Quinn stuff this week, which has even been a nuisance on my channel somewhat though all I ever did was do a vid about Depression Quest...but I wanted to have a little talk about the issues of corruption and nepotism in Games Journalism - it seems like we've forgotten the big picture here, or rather they've been co-opted by those who have other interests in mind...MundaneMatt? InternetAristocrat? Side-eyeing you folks right now. These are not hot-button issues, they are endemic and they have always been with us. Nepotism in particular effects damn near everyone who's trying to break into the field, particularly marginalised people who don't fit the typical stereotype - but it gets twisted by those who want to comment on unsubstantiated minor stories that hurt everyone. And that's when the script kiddies come in.... --- To expand on the start of the video, a lil' message for my fans: This is NOT the future of the channel. I do not want to keep on making videos like this one just to keep the channel going. Hell, you can see how rubbish I am on camera without a script. I don't have much time to do anything else at the moment, alas...but once I get into a groove and can manage my time properly, it'll be business as usual. I don't want to get rid of the momentum I had a few weeks back. Sit tight, 'cause y'all are awesome in my book and you'll get your just reward.
