| MDMAlliance said: I don't like people calling it "free advertising" because the word "advertising" itself has a connotation to it. When people call it that, it makes it look like it can only be good for the company. Because it's "Free" and it's "advertising," there is no reason it should be blocked. That's not the reality of the situation, so "free exposure and publicity" is a lot more accurate. It can be good, it can be bad. It also can mean that the company doesn't WANT that kind of exposure or publicity. Then things make more sense. |
Yes...I agree that youtubers who create Nintendo videos with content in it will diminish. Angry Joe announced that he was going to do Wii U reviews and his youtubers actually bought him a Wii U and I doubt he even wants to now that Nintendo flagged the videos for audio before he could even chop the videos up and edit them to make the video have come to expect from him.
I do credit pewdiepie for helping games like Amnesia get a lot of exposure on Youtube as well. Hes not the only reason because on Youtube Amnesia went viral, but him doing a lets play with his stupid little voice overs (LOL) helped.
Pewdiepie is annoying to me right now, but if I was in elementary or middle school I would actually sub him for sure. I am guessing thats his audience.
