D&D General Bob World Builder Recreates WOTC's "Do You Like Me?" Survey!

[Aldarc]

My point is not that BWB is an overall negative channel. It’s that he’s specifically negative and critical about WotC. Of those three negative videos, how many were about Hasbro/WotC, versus some other company or happening in the industry?

He is a content creator that primarily covers D&D. It's not some coincidence that he's "specifically negative and critical about WotC" in a few of his videos. This is just statistically more likely, much like a channel that primarily covers CoC and Chaosium will probably be statistically more likely to be "specifically negative and critical" about Chaosium.

I haven't seen many of his videos, but in his responses to survey he seemed pretty even handed to me. He had a pretty positive view of D&D and mixed feelings on Wizards, primarily targeted towards business decisions rather than product or design decisions. It does not come across as particularly scathing.

You only need to read the original twitter survey comments to see Toxic Fandom writ large.

Its a miracle they engage with the community at all.

If you remember the subject, title or approximate date I will look for it myself.

It was his incredibly smarmy video comparing DDB and BG3 user data, and just repeatedly making weird assumptions and jumping to nonsense conclusions because they fit his bias, all while being insufferably smug.

He’s calmer than the other D&D channels I can’t stand, and less openly insulting, but that doesn’t make it positive content.

His content has been different ever since his videos around the OGL dust up, and I find the newer content a bit toxic.

Hard to desescalate tone, when the algorithm literally rewards bad behavior with money.

Yeah Bob is definitely one of the better Youtubers. He doesn't try to be click baity and most of his stuff is just about running the game.

And then there's this. Which is the definition of clickbait, IMO.

His ratio is way better than the usual suspects. He's always seemed fair to me and the only reason he made this video was because his video about class/race percentages was fairly popular. I'm not really sure getting why he's getting some hate, maybe I'm missing something?

Are there results yet?

 

[CleverNickName]

To be clear: I'm hating on YouTube in general, and on this survey in particular. I'm not hating on Bob.

He questioned the most important company in the universe. Like just a little bit.

Also he's on Youtube, which we hate now.
