I don't know what a games journalist brings brings to the table that a random YouTuber couldn't replicate. Real journalists would need to go to trials and look up microfilms at a library and sit through DOJ briefings. What exactly does a games journalist do... Play games and writes their opinion?

Most of them are the equivalent of food reviewers.

Except what they're reviewing isn't geographically limited, nor is it aspirational (like Michelin star restaurants), or even expensive.
