I agree with the video in the OP 100%. Rules are simple, he knew about them, wanted to be greedy, and was punished for it. The best part is his 11 minute rant where he says Nintendo is greedy when in fact its him being greedy. Channels like GameXplain seem to do fine and are able to support multiple people off of one channel, covering almost exclusively Nintendo products, with less subs.
I posted some math in the other thread about this jokers rant, after all is said and done if 10% of his content(which it would be less) is Nintendo content, he would lose a grand total of 4.1% of his income from Youtube. Works out to be a little over 2 grand a year. Small price to pay if you ask me, especially when its someone as well off as he is. Of course theres always the easiest option of just not covering Nintendo in the first place.
http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/angryjoeshow if you'd like to do the math yourself, keep in mind Socialblade doesn't track Twitch revenue or direct donations via paypal, so that $53.4k/yr is more than likely 20k higher. I don't know how many subs he has on Twitch, but I would assume its close to 1000 which would put his yearly Twitch revenue at $30k gross. That still doesn't cover donations which I would assume more than likely average $500/month for another $6k/yr gross.
TBH I really don't even get why this is even a discussion... Whats the difference between someone playing an entire game and commenting on it while you play it and someone watching an entire movie and commenting on it while they watch it? Nothing. Inb4 someone says 'well in a vidya game the player directly influences the content!', so does the person who views a movie by choosing to talk to someone, get a drink or snack/use the bathroom.
