Video descriptions are a thing, and is generally where links to primary sources and whatnot go.

But I do agree, YouTube isn't a great place for news. The good news is, this isn't news, it's a guerilla campaign to shame someone into doing the right thing. We're not talking about a ton of money here, it's like $600k donated to a YouTuber's charity. However, it's still wrong and related to gaming, and that's Muta's thing.

So I watch stuff like this as entertainment mingled with information, I'm not actually interested in following this particular case (I have never donated, nor is it something I'd likely donate to or meet someone who has), I just like being along for the ride. And for that, video is fine.

You didn't watch the video you're commenting on.

You're right, but I have watched a few videos prior to this video (I think all of the ones Muta has put out, plus an extra or two) about the charity in question that "the completionist" is affiliated with.

But I wasn't talking about this specific video, I was talking about this kind of news presented by YouTubers. I don't watch YouTube to stay informed about relevant current events, I watch it for entertainment, with some news mixed in. If I want actual news, I read articles by actual journalists.

Edit: I just skimmed the video, and it's just a recap of the videos I've already watched, with some additional speculation about the golf sponsors. That has nothing to do with my argument.
