2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Why does he feel that it's necessary to present the information by talking into a webcam? What's wrong with publishing text?
He's presenting information to his audience, where his audience is.
And how many people will actually see it? when he releases a video, i get it on my feed. but i have never seen a text post from any of the creators i've subscribed to.
I see it all the time. Maybe your creators don't care about the feature? Also, you can simply use the description of the video. Of course, this means less ad watch time so obviously not happening.
While text posts on Youtube are technically a thing that exists, you can't expect a significant portion of users on the platform to pay attention to those. People go to Youtube to watch videos. That's what the platform is for, that's what the audience is there for.
Stop killing games is larger than being youtube content now. News are reporting about it. How about starting a website where you present this information instead of on a youtube channel? The obvious answer to why not is that he wants the sweet ad revenue that youtube provides at the cost of wasting everyone's time.
No one's time is being wasted. He has 413k subscribers on Youtube because 413k people want to hear what he has to say. You might not, but that's you - maybe take a step back and realize the rest lf the world does not share your weird grudge against people speaking out loud?
You mean this?
I'm well aware of the website. Yet, it isn't able to yield that sweet youtube ad revenue so it will of course not be his preferred outlet.
It will not yield the 495k views this video got. A lot of people are learning about the movement through seeing a popular channel show up in their Youtube recommendations. This is how outreach works, do it on platforms where you will reach the most people. Don't just put it on a website where only people who already know about the movement and are invested enough to actively check it will see it.
You forgot the most important part: no ad revenue from text posts on youtube.
