There is very little interest in YT channels doing anything at all negative regarding gaming.

They survive and thrive on a positive relationship with games companies.

You do now see a few successful YT channels emerging that are pulling back the curtain to reveal the rotten practices of the big video games companies. Sweat-shop conditions, releases at full cost that are little better than beta tests, loot boxes aimed at kids etc.

Given the amount of money sloshing around the board games market these days it is probably overdue for someone to pull back the curtain on the horrible environmental cost of the plastic mountains we are buying. Add to that money spent on glossy KS hype rather than proper playtesting of the rules.

You really just have to accept the boardgame media for what it is.
