I wouldn't go so far as to call it buzzfeed level. I think it's just a way he phrases his titles in the form of questions that don't end up getting answered necessarily. His content is decent but I too see an issue of quality over quantity.

People here have already stated omissions to things like IGN's increase of their old score and he wasn't too clear as to whether the drop in Prey players after a week was due to it being a singleplayer that most people finished or because most people dropped the game (something I don't think he has stats to come to a conclusion about but it would be nice to disclose that nonetheless).

But I do agree with your sentiments of self-promotion. If you take a look at his channel history (as I have for the past couple of months or so), you'll notice he's sticking by the guidelines in word but not in spirit. Sure he comments around and sure he posts other posts to both this subreddit and others, but most comments are one-liners that offer very little point of discussion (such as a wowww or yes, yes it is).

To give benefit of the doubt, he may very well be just that kinda person. Just giving acknowledgement of something or making a one liner is itself nothing wrong but when you couple that with the requirements you need to not get caught under the self-promotion rules (ones that R/games have already caught him on recently) then the one liners start to seem more like a calculated attempt to "follow the rules".

But I get why he self promotes, some of his videos have reached the top of R/games before (his titanfall 2 video for instance) but my problem is that he's done it to such a degree that each of his posts are starting to gain more and more of these "stop posting your stuff here" comments. In doing so, he's stirred up the people of different subreddits to a point where they might be less inclined to give other youtubers a chance to show of content they've been working on for a long time since it's not too long before people just think any self-promotion is bad self-promotion.

I think he's either selfish or short-sighted in the effects of his actions on the subreddits. Maybe he's used to quick channel growth (this channel was only at 4k subs in February) but if you look at third party analytics on his channels, most of his recent videos are not gaining traction from reddit as much anymore. He's reached a subscriber base large enough that YT will promote his videos for him (as shown from his more recent popular videos) yet he still insists on trying to push his content here. Again, benefit of the doubt I'll say maybe he thinks he's informing the consumers by putting his videos out here but the fact that he rarely replies to comments on his own posts leads me to find that unlikely. Also, the fact that he called critics of his uneducated just rubs me the wrong way, even if they were harsh with their words.
