I'll just flat out say that doesn't fit my experiences.
Shrug. Fine. Your experiences are different from mine.
What do you want out of noting that fact? Where is this supposed to go, as a conversation?

I don't think the OP was suggesting that D&D YouTubers should make entire videos about other systems. He just wanted them to mention other systems during their D&D-focused videos.The way YouTube algorithm works is that it punishes channels for not focusing on a single topic.
So if a D&D influencer wanted to talk about non D&D TTRPGs, the algorithm will punish them by directing less people to their channel.
What creators have done is make spin off channels that focus on different topics.
Specifically, if talking about potential solutions for a common D&D problem, noting how other games have solved the problem. This not only helps educate players about other games, it gives credit where credit is due. One thing I really bristle at is people like Justin Alexander presenting ideas and methods like he invented them,rather than discovered them in the decades of discussions on RPG and D&D play that preceded him.I don't think the OP was suggesting that D&D YouTubers should make entire videos about other systems.

That's what I meant to talk about, anyway. I didn't stick the landing.
I never understood him as discovering them, just as presenting them, otherwise he would single-handedly have created just about everything in classic TTRPGsOne thing I really bristle at is people like Justin Alexander presenting ideas and methods like he invented them,rather than discovered them in the decades of discussions on RPG and D&D play that preceded him.
I'll admit that he just rubs me the wrong way. I know some people consider him great, but I find him egotistical. But that's okay. Different strokes and all that. I'm sure some people HATE Coville, who I think is one of the best. There are probably even people that like D&D Shorts. ::shudder::I never understood him as discovering them, just as presenting them, otherwise he would single-handedly have created just about everything in classic TTRPGs
As to giving credit, if he were to present a rule from a specific game he probably should, but when talking about a broad topic then I don’t think there is a single source he is referencing, and whoever did it first might not be clear either

Maybe she doesn't know Fate. I had Fate for a while and could not get in to it's mechanical design or style, so would never even think of it as a solution to anything.Maybe I don't follow the right ones? GinniD went that whole video and never mentioned Fate campaign generation.
It was challenging your generalization, which seemed a faulty one to continue the conversation--or any related one--on.
