I’m a proud Steam Deck owner. I also bought recently a Rog Ally (2023) and i have to say i still like the Steam Deck more. I also frequently search for videos of recent / heavy games to see how they run on Steam Deck before I buy them. I say all this to make clear that it’s reasonable that there’s a lot of Steam Deck / handheld content on my youtube feed and i’m not against it at all.

However, i’ve really noticed that most content about the Steam Deck, specially that which comes from Deck focued channels, is often clickbaity at best, and looks like a cult at worst. Every other day i get videos from channels that i wont mention because i don’t want to shame any youtubers that are trying to grow their channel, with titles like “STEAM DECK does it AGAIN!!”, “Steam Deck does what nintendon’t”, “Nintendo does not want you to watch this video!!”, “Steam Deck just won…” and now, i find it just plain weird that people consume this content. I also don’t watch content about other consoles (but i dont get this content for rog ally or legion go or other handhelds) so I don’t know if it’s common but it’s certainly not reasonable.

Do you also get these kind of videos on your youtube feed frequently? What other channels do you recommend that can upload quality steam deck videos (instead of you reading you the news)?
