P2W only applies if you have the game knowledge to know where and how to spend it.
You could have a purple paladin, and then immediately die to 8 frigates once you jump it into Tama.
A more pertinent example is the Casino Guy who bankrolled the most recent successfull eviction of Goonwaffe injecting a max skilled Erebus, putting the toon in PL, and then immediately eating shit on his first lowsec jump towards staging.
I do think you have somewhat of a point there with the amount of shitfit marauders you see on zkill with 6 month old characters, but it is absolutely nothing like WoT gold ammo, or a gacha mobage.
Holy fucking shit don't even remind me, it was bad enough but passable when it was just real cash gold ammo because considering how full of bots and casuals that game was chance you encounter someone shitting out gold on random battles was pretty small, but when they did gold ammo for silver (because of fucking course why else people are gonna buy premium tanks) entire pretense of balance was violently defenestrated.
it's all pay-to-win now with skill injectors anyway. you can just add ISK until you have the exact skills you want

v0v in a competitive game with noncosmetic monetization, I would rather stomp whales than have the leaderboards consist entirely of Gulf princelings.

I am not watching a 35 min video, so I think this a natural place to end this discussion.
