You know the ones I'm talking about! Those YouTube videos of games that are like 5+ hours long with no editing or commentary.
Edit: Ok since people are being intentionally obtuse, here's what I mean: I find these sorts of videos problematic because it's a straight rebroadcast of a game and its content with no other purpose. When a content creator adds commentary (and other means of transforming the content), then it's a different matter because they are adding value to the content.
You can argue that games are interactive and therefore it's not the same but there are many story-oriented games that are linear enough to be negatively impacted by such practices.
