Elden Ring balance update makes the first half of the DLC easier, so you don't have to be as good as games journalists (www.vg247.com)

Who was the one who couldn't make the jump on the cup head tutorial? Was that the Verge?

Someone who was a tech journalist rather than a games journalist, and posted the attempts as a bit of self-deprecating humor. Of course capital-G Gamers think being bad at a game is a Serious Crime and nothing to joke about, so they responded as you would expect.

That's not "being bad at a game". That's "worse than a 5 year old".

And the source of that video absolutely thought they were qualified to complain about difficulty.

Better than the people giving it a bad review for difficulty, it would seem.
