I personally think this is because gaming journalism isn't real journalism. They don't actually care, they just want clicks and perceived relevancy when people repost their tweets to reddit

Kinda sounds like real media to me then lol they all suck if they're major corporate media.
A lot of journalists do care, but they also have a job to do and a boss that tells them which articles to write.
Like I don't care about whatever business my company is competing in, but I'll keep working for them because they pay me.
That's just it, you can move to a different company that has a better working situation in environment. You just have to be a brave enough to fight the inertia that keeps you where you're at.
And in fact, if you want your salary to steadily increase over your career, you're supposed to move from company to company every couple of years.
Yeah I'm thankful to have got that advice pretty early in my career. Generally get itchy feet around 3 years now.
