Why do indie games suck so much?

Maybe better tools as in easier to use, like figure out a way to make a tool or program that anybody (even your grandma) can make a stellar awesome game. Even the so called easy to use tools/programs are quite complicated for someone like me.

Well, that's the thing. Game development isn't for everyone, and it shouldn't be. That leads to even more low-quality games being released.

So youtube is a bad idea then?

...what?

If you didn't get my point, I'll show you instead.
Game Maker is a great tool, but the YYG's website was flooded with crappy games and clones. So, after a few years, they shoved the original website to a place where only people who look for it could find it.
