Myself
Personally none. Many youtubers are shills, or sell-outs, a company I use to work for up in Washington (a game company) would often pay, or rather 'reward' with 'gifts' for 'positive' reviews or doing stuff. So I know to be very careful of what I read / hear. Honestly the best thing nowadays is to watch the clips from a few different sources and have an idea of your tastes in mind. Seeing the games in motion, and not being anal about spoiling tiny beginning details etc can go a long way. Can't even remember the last time I was disappointed in a game that I watched in action enough.

All I use these days are friends' opinions, aggregate Steam reviews, sometimes Metacritic (it's hard for that many people to be totally wrong, though it does happen), and YouTube. I wouldn't trust Metacritic scores for any game with SJW nonsense in it.
If I have no choice but to go to a gaming site for a review, I go to one of the GG-friendly sites like Techraptor and The Escapist. I usually don't. I ignore all individual reviews from POZ places like IGN and GiantBomb.

Say, didn't Robert "Blob" Chipman use to be a part of The Escapist?

...not their finest hour. Same with that fat fuck Sterling.

In 2017, pretty much none. Just watch some youtubers you like (if any) when they put up a video about the game.
Game journalism was fake news before fake news was "cool"
