Pretty much. Sensationalism sells. What you say doesn't matter so long as you get views. And that's why I am how I am today; you can only roll your eyes so much before it wears on you. It does, as fundamentally he says what has to be done to please his patreons and YouTube followers. Even in (if?) he would hate, say, WoW, with all his heart, he wouldn't do a "the worst MMO game ever" video about it, as it would cost him followers. The "worst games" have to be those with the smallest player base - those which are obscure enough to enrage, if at all, only few, while pleasing his herd for exactly the reason he states: that negativity is shareable and popular. ;)

It does, since it's far less of the "Give me views and Likes!" clickbait of the rest of the channel. It also shows that Also see his final video on his series of "this MMO sucks" where he explains how he understands it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkGnCMjltJQ - it might put his commenting into perspective.
When you come on too strong (as I often do) you get backlash. No matter how much truth there is to your words, your tone will get your point ignored or invalidated. Even people who would normally agree with you will turn against you, and minor disagreement turns visceral.
That's why a balanced approach is best.Whether or not Ryzom is a good game is subjective but I think that everyone here (except possibly Kaetemi) would agree that Ryzom is not an unmitigated disaster, merely something that has a mix of strengths and flaws that are not for all tastes. And what some consider flaws, others either consider strengths or simply don't care as much about as what they feel Ryzom did right.
Ryzom sure isn't perfect, and some of what makes some of us love it are things some people may not like, but it's definitely worth a try. It'll go a lot better if you go in expecting (or at least don't mind) a bit of a learning curve that may require the mentorship of an experienced player or the help of the community to make of for one glaring flaw that is in the process of being fixed. But don't form an opinion based on one source. OP did well to not take that one review at face value, and ask for other opinions.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.
