Why are Nintendo 'gaming' channels just paid PR pieces and rumor clickbait now? It's quite scary where we are at and what's considered 'acceptable' don't you think? Is this capitalism about to die?

Because they hate their customers and won't allow regular channels to livestream gameplay if they're monetized. So, they have to resort to the weak PR and clickbait you mentioned.

Do you think they purposely drag out these videos as most of what they say can be done in LITERALLY 2 mins but somehow they stretch it into a 10 or 15 min segment repeating themselves in creative ways. Geejus how many times can you rehash the same stupid Switch Pro/Breath of the Wild 2,Mario Prime Trilogy,Banjo Threeie rumors?

Okay scratch the last part though I wish there actually WAS Banjo Threeie clickbait videos. And NO Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is NOT Threeie and never will be! I am SO sick of people thinking it is.

That could be true. At this point I think they're doing anything they can to produce their own marketing, probably anything goes.

Do you think Nintendo earns money from these ramblers who drag on and on? And also o you think the comments that like it are fake that all seem to agree or do you think they block those that disagree?

I've never read the comments tbh so I don't know.

The comments seems to have a certain 'structure' to them sort of like 'order within chaos' kinda of thing. It's hard to explain unless you read them enough and see which channels do this.
