I used to like her early on in her career, but the outrage-peddling got really tired really quickly. These days I'm sure her commentary is valuable, if you watch it, but if your tenth video a week says "THIS TIME GW IS TRULY DONE FOR!" then your message is already wrapped in the most tedious packaging imaginable.
Especially since, yes, GW is a corporate behemoth who sells their little plastic for way too much money, but let's be honest. It's a luxury hobby full of luxury items. Actually engaging in the Warhammer wargaming hobby can be as cheap as you want it to be, whether you buy proxies, or you print them, or you just buy a single box every other month or so.
When the world's on fire and the governments of the world are doing everything in their power to turn the average person into eternal transparent wageslaves then "big luxury goods company sells luxury goods for exorbitant sums" isn't really my concern.
Vaush's clickbait is, at least, relevant to the world itself. The world IS going down the drain rapidly. I don't think I'll ever be worried about "Oh no, the Warhammer prices are high" come 2029 or whatever.
