Or we can watch those YouTubers to still partake in Nintendo games while not buying anything.

If you can help it, you shouldn't. It promotes the games to a wider audience if they get views/likes/comments. Nintendo doesn't deserve that free marketing, and you engaging with it makes it more effective.

I'm not responsible for other people deciding to buy shit.

I never said you were. I said that you're responsible for your actions. Your action in this is helping Nintendo. This effect is something you own, and you can't push it off on others. What you do with that is on you.

I watch maybe 5 minutes of any of those Nintendo game videos because after those 5 minutes it becomes incredibly stale and boring looking at the same bright colors and round shapes all the goddamn time.

Also the fact that almost all Nintendo games amount to what is essentially a fancy arcade game with not a lot of depth to them.
