Have Gamers killed the Let's Playing genre?

I agree. Although you could class me as a new LPer and a bit of a scrub, I've only recently been able to record my videos because I was interested in quality of content - I spent four years saving up for a gaming pc and the equipment to make my videos - I've wanted to do gaming commentary since '08. It makes me cry when I see another Minecraft LP with no love, care or attention to detail at all :'(

I will raise my hand to this.

And also the amount of people who literally do nothing besides hit the record button and do literally nothing, paying no attention to volume levels or video quality are saturating youtube. The amount of videos where the audio from their microphone is barely comprehensible over the game makes me sad, it's obvious they put no care or effort in to their videos.
It makes it very hard to be heard above so many.

I'll agree with that, it makes me annoyed when people on YouTube do not put the effort in. I, myself, do record things like Minecraft but I'm shying away from that and I'll be starting many new series over the next few weeks which are various games, which are not as mainstream Minecraft for example. Though, I do put the effort into all my video's, understandably I do not have the best audio because of my microphone but I'm investing in a new one after Christmas.

But you can always tell when people are still trying their best with what they have. People appreciate that and will tolerate things like bad audio knowing your intentions are clearly to improve but you have to start somewhere.
 
Too many letsplayers are in it for the money and focus on gaining view/subs only for that purpose. In turn the quality 99.9% of the time is atrocious.

I think i consider myself as a ''old-skool'' Playthrough(er) . I don't title my video's as ''Let's Play'' simple fact a Let's Play must have sort of commentary(i do no commentary playthrough's).

I really hate when people title there video's as ''Walkthrough'' when they even don't do all side missions, secrets ect but just playing through the game!!! Super false, confusing and misleading. This is also killing the gaming community on Youtube!
