Why people prefer actual content in an OP?

I don't understand the title. I'm not understanding "gameplay at review" so I don't understand the question.

I like gameplays and I like reviews on YT. They are usually 2 different things.

I assume he meant to ask why people prefer gameplay videos over reviews.

Assuming your "at" means "over" and YT is after gameplay and not review: People are too lazy to read.

I think reviews impose or have a huge impact on many of its viewers, for example someone hated a game but maybe you would loved it, you see its review and say: "nope" and dont even give it a try.

While watching gameplay you get an idea of how the game might be without being told that the game is good or is bad.

Reviews could be biased since it's based on what the gamer/reviewer feels about the game. Majority of reviewers are biased when they review certain games such as BF vs CoD or MoW vs CoH. They would say what they didn't like about it or liked about it compared to other games. Some would go like "I recommend not to buy this game. Instead, use your money on ___" and then it's like a seed of doubt planted in you.

Gameplay is just gameplay. Gameplay are rarely biased since you just see the game being played and how it works, allowing you to make a decision for yourself.

I agree with this, though it would be nice for a little game play commentating, you know some of: "this is how this works, and this it what you can do" but often it continues with "and i think that is stupid".
Personally the only time a bad review has an affect on my willingness to make a purchase is when you find nothing but bad reviews, and even then Steam games get so cheap that i will often buy a game (Takedown: Red Sabre, Infestation: Survivor Stories) just to see for myself.

I think, because in gameplay you can actually see how the game looks, how it works and you can judge by yourself if you want this game. In review you "can't see the game" you just read a someone else's opinion and they say what THEY like or dislike about the game. When i want to know more about game, first i'm watching gameplay, and when still I'm not sure then I read reviews.
