Minecraft, Flappy bird, Slender, Happy Wheels and many other games became huge because of youtube. And no one is saying that youtube advertisement is better than conventional advertisement or that it works the same way everytime, by the way. Sometimes the advertisements helps a lot, sometimes it doesn't help much or at all just like all advertisements.

Minecraft, and Flappy Bird were popular before/regardless of YouTube. Slender was a free to play game. I've never heard of Happy Wheels. Looks like a browser based game? 


If you deny the influence Youtube had over Minecraft then I really don't know what to say. Flappy Bird sure it's mostly attributed to social media in general not Youtube specifically. The other 2 still hold true even if they're free.  Five Nights at Freddies is a recent phenomenon. Also DayZ http://www.tubefilter.com/2015/01/09/dayz-three-million-sales-youtube-twitch/ .
