I gotta hand it to these Youtube users though, they know they're not funny or entertaining. They just release the same **** their fans appreciate and rake in the money. They probably look at their videos and say "Gee, i'm a ****ing tool."

If you want to see a gaming video done right with actual creative content and commentary, watch this video. This is the type of stuff that I'm okay with.

AREN'T YOU AN XBOX FANBOY GET A LOAD OF THIS To answer OP's question: I feel like it's important that Let's Plays exist and it's safe to say that if there was no revenue there would be a greatly reduced number of them. You can say it's not fair for pieces of **** like PewDiePie to make money, but there are people who make money through ****ty facebook pages or other free social media outlets. I'm not sure removing Let's Plays will accomplish much besides pissing off a few immature nerds with half-decent computers and a microphone, and lowering exposure to Nintendo games. |

As for whether youtubers like pewdiepie deserve to get paid for the kind of content they put out, that's a different story but the fact that he gets paid millions for doing what he does, kudos to him because honestly, and like you said, i have seen videos that are ten times better but are not even getting close to those views he gets. But at the end of the day, youtube money is about the views more than the content. Personally, and i think a lot of people can agree, i usually watch gaming videos if im stuck on a level or if im unsure if i want to buy the game or not. Now, why i think it is a bad move by nintendo to take all the revenue from the lets plays is because youtubers might stop making videos with nintendo games which will decrease exposure of the companies games. Plus although you can say that people watch for the personality not the game, the fact still remains that the game is still being exposed. And if a kid is watching a youtube commentator have fun then they might go out and buy the game to experience it themselves. But like you said, it is a pride thing and if someone if making money off of my content or game, i would want a share of that money too. So i do understand where nintendo is coming from. Plus i think they do need that extra revenue because they are falling far behind xbox and sony. If i was nintendo, i would reach out to a youtube commentator so they could help expose some games or even use youtube as a way to get feedback from the community. I know 2k sports did that and so did planetside. |
