I cannot advocate ad revenue for lets players, because all they are doing is playing the game and the content is not being used for a creative voice. Should they get paid? Thats up for debate (for me? No), but Angry Joes views mostly come from reviews and commentary, not Lets Plays. Actually his least popular views come from Lets Plays.

You don't know how many hours Angry Joe works. He has to record and edit his videos, which could probably take longer than most peoples eight hour days. He tends not to cut down his edits. He has literally a set at his house. This has become his life as well as for other Youtubers and you can tell by the quality of his production value in his games that he spends quite a bit of hours on them, including the acting, green screening, VFX, editing, Website and much, much more. 


So out of curiousity, how many of Joe's reviews were taken down by Nintendo? To my knowledge, both of the videos taken down were simply Lets play style gameplay videos...

I mean, you do have them doing pretty much exactly that by inviting Youtubers like ProJared and GameXPlain to their events to capture footage on Splatoon to upload to their channels...

I mean thats all they can do. If it was up to me I would have PewDiePie and Angry Joe playing their games and give them free copies of my game with freedom of ad revenue to review like other companies have. Truly the only choice Nintendo has like with third party are the ones they narrow out for themselves.


Neither of those are anything close to Nintendo focused. As I stated previously, Nintendo has done numerous things working with Youtubers directly from inviting them to events to having Miyamoto make guest appearances on their show to working with them on televised commercials...
