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 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...

 

First question:

When the Nintendo partnership program started a lot of Youtubers expressed discomfort at what Nintendo was doing. Most who were core Nintendo's fans bit the bullet and those didn't care were free to ignore them and had no problem ignoring their product (which many people are doing to the Wii U right now). How appropo is it to explain the pride in the one who is doing the worst acting like they are doing the best. Joe was about to edit a bunch of videos he had saved on the Youtube database to be chopped up and eventually reviewed or (of for commentary) by the request of his community. He didn't have to do it. He was doing just fine before his fans got him the Wii U so he could do the job and give his opinion on the product. His review stands that he likes the Wii U was better than the Xbox One and PS4 in the amount of fun factor, but he's going to say the truth (which is why people listen to him) in that Nintendo are dicks. He should just succumb to their ad revenue sharing program because it is their product and they are extremely stingy. The law is the law. Nintendo is extremely ignorant albeit talented. Joe didn't even get to the reviewing process nor editing because Nintendo had it copyright flagged in no time at all.

Second Question:

I know those guys are Nintendo focused. If I had my way completely I would give those guys free copies though. They are two of the most vocal Youtube Gamers who would be open minded enough to work with Nintendo, but they will not tolerate Nintendos crap, which is why he's done with even trying. He'll play those games privately. Both PewDiePIe and Joe are both very avid PC gamers though and consoles are secondary for them. Their total views in a month dance circles around Nintendo.
