People who do lets plays DO NOT get paid for not doing much. The only way you get paid is if people actually watch you. And to top it off they really dont get much. You have to have a serious amount of subscribers and regular viewers to make a decent amount of money. The Youtube program from Nintendo is petty. They are taking a cut from add revenue from the people who supported them and freely advertise their games. Its a low move and a big slap in the face to their fans. Also do you really think Nintendo will let you be a partner if you are critical of their games while playing it? You dont see any problem with this especially effecting the impartiality of the youtuber? |
So then guess how the youtubers became famous in the first place? Correct! because they played the games people knew and were only found because someone looked for e.g Mario etc. on youtube. So not only does a lets player "support" the company but the company made the lets player famous and is the reason why the youtuber was able to earn money online.
And when I consider myself a supporter of a company then why do I whine when I generate a steady flow of income for that said company? I should be happy to be of use but instead I whine... The whiners are no real fans at all.
Also I cant see people complaining about youtube getting some of the revenue so why do they whine when the other actual reason (the first one being youtube) for them being famous (gamemaker) also wants a fair share of the revenue?
I mean how dare youtube wants some of the revenue when youtube just became famous because people uploaded videos!!!!! People supported youtube Its unbelievable! Call the media youtube wants money they deserve!!!
Fact is people feel entitled to money they are not entitled to get. They got used to it and now something changes and they start whining.
and btw that I am the first gamer that you met who thinks this way is quite sad actually... probably because most "gamers" today are just mainstreamers doing what all the others do whining when everyone whines and hating when everyone hates people without own opinions.
TBH youtubers should only get money if a person watches 100% of the video. Getting money because people are forced to watch a commercial just to find out the content is shit and leave is FAIL. Not viewer count should result in revenue but actual viewers that watch the content for at least a minute.
So since this is way to off topic lets PM each other or whatever in case you want to discuss this topic further I wont discuss this here anymore. Thanks for your understanding :)
