And the overwhelming majority don't do it as a business. They do it for fun. We are focusing on the subset of let's players who make it their main source of income. PewDiePie just so happens to be one of a small group of said let's players. 


For fun? What most gaming youtubers are trying to do is get big enough where Youtube is their source of income. I don't know any Youtubers that don't have any ads on their videos. Please show me "big" youtubers that don't have ads on their videos. This plan only affects people that make Youtube videos with Nintendo games and in which they get ad revenue. Lol, if you think a majority of gaming youtubers don't do this as buisness. 

I watch plenty of let's plays ,with under 10k views per video, that eventually cover the entire game. That would be measly dollars per year in profit for ad-revenue. So yes, a lot of people do it for fun. They like playing games and talking about them. Becoming popular enough on youtube to make a decent profit isn't any easier than becoming a real-life celebrity. The overwhelming majority of let's players don't have such delusions. 

Exactly, if they are only making a few dollars a year, WHY NOT JUST TURN OFF THE ADS? Because they are trying to become big, they are trying to make Youtube their job.
