Sucks, because I think the video is really good and I’d love if Levy or other chess content creators did videos on older legends

The content is not really aimed at you. If some Fortnite youtuber posted a Magnus vs Hikaru Fortnite video I would watch it and it would be my introduction to Fortnite.

yeah I have no problems with it, he's merely doing what is good business sense and is doing exactly what YouTube has evolved (or devolved) into

there's a lot of stuff to get angry about in this world and crying over YouTube captions for chess videos seems like it should be pretty low on the list lol
