I'm looking for sites not owned by Fandom, Ziff Davis, Tencent, etc., who still cover news and reviews.

I stuck with Giantbomb for years, even after Red Ventures acquired it, but, like others, drifted away from the site when its core members left/got fired.

I followed Easy Allies for awhile, but after Bowman moved on, it wasn't the same.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Yeah unfortunately I agree. I think Yong seems like a cool guy but his videos always start with a lengthy recap which anyone who watches his channel already knows from his previous video on whatever is recapped, and then he takes the longest possible route to explain the topic too.

I reckon if he made 5 min videos without all the fluff he'd be great.
