1. The video that was limited for him was a let's play/stream. It wasn't a review. 

2. Somebody said that he mentioned it takes about 60 hours /video. If we include his movie reviews and top ten countdowns his total time spent on his videos on average, per year, is (60/video*127 videos/year)/6 years = 1270, which is a lot more than what I initially said, but still almost half of what other people work on average. I'm assuming he's adding gameplay to that estimate as well, which means a lot of his recreation time is merged with his work time. 

Dude, Joe has a lot that he does. His video's are only one part of his overall Youtube "Angry Joe" Venture. He flies out on location to events on his dime, he shoots on location with his own cameras, he takes the footage home and he edits those as well, runs his website and other things. He also has to balance doing videos for PC, Playstation and Xbox Platforms (Nintendo was going to be there but ...like third parties have agreed, forget them).

A video doesn't take 60 hours to edit. So I'm assuming that all of these other things are included in the 60 hours figure he gives as well. Playing the games, flying out and filming, etc, etc. It seems to me that his website is sustained by donations and the sale of merchandise to some extent.

I'm not saying he doesn't work for what he has. I'm saying if he is doing this and not making enough money to meet his standards of living he (or any other self-employed let's players/reviewers) should consider another field of occupation, making more videos per week, month, or year, or reducing costs. You know, instead of calling others greedy, while he has monetized his entire personality. Real people at Nintendo created a portion of the content he was trying to profit off of without adding creative input (besides you know just playing the game.)
