You're not wrong at all, but it's the kind of meaningless drama that's fun to observe via YouTube when your real life is has too much going on, lol.

For something that doesn't matter you sure spent 6 paragraphs explaining it. It clearly does matter to you.

It's certainly an opinion.

This isn't an unpopular opinion. Like, The Real Housewives is objectively garbage, but somebody's watching it.

The main problem of any scandal of a decently popular game is it DOES have money on the line, in the form of the audience/viewership you get purely based on your alleged speedrun performance, which is almost a zero sum game where that's coming at the expense of legitimate players. So your "exception" of if money is on the line applies to practically all of them that you'd hear about in more mainstream channels like Karl Jobst.

You think 10% of the world DOES care?

People cheat at everything. They cheat at professional sports, they cheat at business, they cheat at interpersonal relationships, etc. For the cheater "it's no big deal, I did what I felt I had to do to win" For the people involved in whatever world is being cheated "they're damaging the integrity of what we have here, and causing harm" For everyone else not in the first two categories "who cares". Just because you don't care about game speed runs doesn't mean that it's not important to other people, and if those people say cheating is a problem within their world it's their call to make. You don't have to get involved, but don't try to minimize the concern of people whose world you don't care about in the first place.

Here's a crazy fact, most cheating scandals are petty drama that doesn't really matter outside of the communities it's happening in.

People neither should or shouln´t care, they just do or don´t. If you find cheaters getting caught and justice being made entertaining then cool.
