Anyone else noticing another wave of negative BT content on YT?

I listen to a lot of BattleTech stuff on YouTube while I work but recently there's been an uptick in "BattleTech is dead" content. It's kind ridiculous because it seems like BattleTech is more popular now than I ever remember it being (I'm 35). My LGS seems to be getting new players all the time. I even see elementary school age kids playing.
