The "Fandom Menace" pure vitriol type grift has mostly run out. None of those guys are going to keep growing into the multimillion sub base they want without being a milquetoast "good boy" semi-Leftist.
None of these guys are ever going to have a take that isn't carefully cultivated around whether it gets them cancelled or not and whether the "outrage clickbait" will get them more clicks than the generic FOMO video.
That's something I've noticed, too. I recently watched some penguinz0/Moist Critikal again after a long time and holy shit has he turned into a normie Redditor.
It was all downhill as soon as he put his face everywhere.
I think it’s mostly to do with fanbases who enjoy stuff like that are just simply giving up and leaving the franchises altogether. I used to be a huge Marvel and Star Wars fan but I don’t even bother watching angry reviews online because I’m just…done with it all. These reviewers need to make money so you’re absolutely correct that they’ll eventually bend the knee to make it happen
And guys slightly more on the fence than you who are "done" are a crucial part of their audience.
Its why they always have "STAR WARS IS GOOD AGAIN?!?!" reviews for the most boring and only moderately less bad products, to pull people back into to repeat the "get angry, watch reviews to validate" cycle.
