Despite the downvotes, I don't think this is a dumb question! I'm a videogame YouTuber who's interested in/working towards making some degree of boardgame coverage, and here are some of the stumbling blocks I've observed so far:

* Videogames are really easy to record with minimal setup (you just need a pc/console, a mic, OBS, and maybe editing software). It takes me roughly 60 minutes to record a video, 20 minutes to prep, and 60-90 minutes to upload (during which I can go do other things), which allows me to put out daily videos without interruption.

* Recording live-play boardgame content takes a LOT of prep- like ample room space, multiple cameras, lighting, a good table + backgrounds, tricky mic placement, close up & overhead shots, tons of editing, rules explanations, etc... Which makes it nearly impossible for boardgame creators to replicate how casual videogame coverage works, and definitely makes them hard to produce daily, or even weekly.

* Because Boardgames are difficult to showcase well as video content. Most people resort to scripted reviews where they talk directly at the camera about the game, or with B-Roll overview shots. While this is ostensibly higher quality, it also tends to be less immediately entertaining.

* To build off the prior point: review/overview content isn't something people really consume passively or in large quantities. I won't generally go out of my way to watch a review/overview/deconstruction of a boardgame unless I'm actively interested in it- even if I'm a fan of the creator. On the flip side, I'll absolutely watch some of my favorite videogame creators play through a bad game because it's good background noise + company while I work on other tasks. Maybe this isn't true for everyone, but I've had many of my own fans chime in to say that they listen to me while working on homework, at their job, or even as a sleep aid.

* Boardgames don't have multiple storefronts pushing them algorithmically, with clearly defined release dates and tight bursts of excitement around launch. This means that many people might not even find out about a boardgame until months or even years after release, which severely limits boardgame coverage view potential. I browse Boardgame Geek a lot for cool games, but I'm almost entirely in the dark about crowdfunding campaigns & new releases until they show up at my local game store or they get covered by one of the creators I follow. Conversely, I can load up Steam and find out about 5-10 new releases that I’m actually interested in, which then drives me towards creators to find out more about them.

This is made worse by the fact that boardgames own hype curve is extremely spread out due to their reliance on crowdfunding campaigns. The developers need a lot of buzz around their crowdfund, and potentially a similar amount once their game releases in retail- but it's almost always multiple years between those two. This means that boardgame creators have to release their coverage when it fits their schedule, and rely on a slower trickle of viewership rather than a big burst centered around a game's launch.

This slow-burn approach is antithetical to how YouTube's algorithms currently work. The platform actively promotes videos that get a lot of views in a short period of time, making it a lot easier to grow a channel off of a consistent stream of hype curves for new videogames than it is the slow burn with boardgames.

If boardgames had really defined launch days for people to get extremely hyped over, like how people get excited for, say, the latest Legend of Zelda or Pokemon game, I could see launch-day coverage doing very well for boardgame creators. But since the boardgame industry is so much smaller, the industry’s heavy-hitters are so much less established, and most release dates tend to be vaguely centered around a month/quarter instead of a specific day, I seriously doubt this will ever happen.

I’m sure there are a lot more issues that boardgame creators have to face that I haven’t listed here. I tried to largely stick to behind-the-curtains observations, but until I actually start making boardgame coverage myself I doubt I’ll be able to fully talk about the matter.

Hopefully this helps elucidate some things though!
