[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8248502, member: 5142"] It's an interesting video made by two guys that aligns with how you use TIBFs, but that's hardly indicative of how most people use TIBFs. If you are curious about evidence that people don't necessarily use them, I would look for starters at a number of threads in the ENWorld forums over the past 6 years talking about TIBFs, where people said that they don't use them, ignore them, or don't find them particularly all that great. Also, one has to take some measure of caution regarding selection bias with the creation of such videos. D&D content creators who use TIBFs are more likely to make videos about using them. Would D&D content creators who don't use TIBFs or care for them make YouTube videos about ignoring them? IME, gaming content creators generally don't make content about things they don't use, but, rather, about things that they do use (or adjust). I have liked videos that I disagreed with for purposes of helping those content creators, who may otherwise create good content, and the YouTube algorithm. [/QUOTE]
