I am all for expressing preferences and opinions, regardless of whether the 'content creator' is paid or not. If someone doesn't like what JW and I are doing, they have every right to say so. The same goes if we received money. And let's admit it, no one is doing things selflessly and for the greater good of the community. There is either an inner need for expression (in the case of free content) or a need for income.
For me, the only thing that changes when someone is getting paid is that their opinion on the merits of a game cannot be trusted.
I agree about 360$ being reasonable for a video. 59$ for BLOK seemed a bit too much at first, but then thousands of people will see it, so I guess it's worth it.
