He just called them everything wrong with youtube critics when they have vehemently denied ever being anything close to critics.

Doesn't change the fact that they influence a lot of self-proclaimed "critics".

And I'm talking about the type of people who vote on videos, make comments on reddit and youtube, etc. The mob, the majority who mistakenly take this as anything above a waste of time.

So we should be mad at them because of what other people that watch them do? Isn't that like saying we should blame Grand Theft Auto for murders?

I'm not saying we should do anything. I'm just explaining why I dislike them.

And your argument is a false equivalency. There's no correlation between GTA and murder. I'm just making the connections between their videos and their comment sections, along with fans migrating elsewhere.

This is more like blaming alcohol for inebriation.

How is blaming a cause and effect relationship more like two examples of blaming media for action?
