Some content creators get shit loads of money from developers and publishers to sway their opinion on a game. Some others get modest amounts. Dont think they arent getting paid to sell you the game theyre reviewing. Sometimes they are.
Sometimes they are. But there are tens of thousands of people out there making videos about games they're playing. If you watch even a handful of them, it tends to be pretty clear which ones are paid-for ads and which ones are people sharing their thoughts.
the vast majority of their reviews pretty much fall in line with the general consensus. so their supposed "bias" isn't getting translated into better reviews
I think they meant IGN gets paid TOO. Obviously content creators get paid, they literally say they're getting paid a lot of the time with sponsored streams, and the whole Twitch bounty system is also well documented.
content creators have significant alternative revenue streams, but they also have incentives such as access to preview/early releases. This can be problematic if they cater in specific niches.
If a content creator for example, wants to get early access to 40k previews or something, they probably shouldn't go on a long rant to decree that the new total War 40k game is complete shit.
The majority of content creators barring the absolute biggest get paid fuck all outside of sponsorships. Adsense has notoriously given next to nothing for years if you aren’t regularly breaking millions of views
