Is it actual work to just say what the publishers tell you to say and give everything a 7?

If you actually read their interviews and reviews you will see that it is way more in-depth than any YouTube essays or twitch streams. It sucks that those things attract more people because I get way more informed at an objective level with GI articles and similar podcasts.

I'm gonna guess they got better in the 15 years since I was subscribed.

I wouldn’t say better, if you didn’t like them in their earlier days then I doubt you would like them now. To me, they just provided more thorough insights into the games than random YouTuber or Reddit comment section.
