Is it strange? Do you want to work for a company that pays $11 an hour or a company that pays $7 an hour? It shouldn't be that hard right? Youtubers will make videos in which they make 60% of the revenue, not 43% with Nintendos.  They will just literally make every other gameplay video except Nintendos. I mean honestly I think these Youtubers only have good intent for Nintendo. Youtube let's plays increase sales and by Nintendo not allowing them just doesn't make sense in their eyes. Lets Plays is a win-win situation for both parties except Nintendo doesn't see it that way.

So you honestly don't believe people make let's plays for games they like, as a hobby? (Note: Hobbies can be profitable.) If I made let's play videos they would be about games that I enjoy and want to share with others, and I think the overwhelming majority of let's players do it for that. It might be the reason why they don't get huge number of views, but that wasn't what was said. Sure, said person might be irritated if they were making $50 a month on let's play videos and now they make $30 a month because Nintendo wants some of that money, but that doesn't mean their favorite game and the one which they have a passion to make a let's play for will change.
