And you entering this thread (at your own choice) don't oblige you to be disrespectful.

DonFerrari said:

He believes he contribute to Nintendo... bashes Nintendo...

 

Oh, but you can be  disrespectful to someone who cannot respont.



 


Who is posting a thread that have the link in reference and say he is bashing Nintendo for its choice being disrespectful towards this guy??? You are being directly disrespectful and was warned by a mod and answered back that people that don't see the same as you are idiots and deserve the threatment... how can you possibly put both on the same scale?

Pewdiepie's views on Youtube dance circles around Nintendo multiple times. Seriously. Piediepie has Thirty-four million people subscribed to his channel. Nintendo hasn't even broken a million yet. Thats more people than Nintendo have owning their consoles by multiples. Really? He can'tbe taken seriously? LOL wow, bro.


I would like to point out that your point is very weak here, because number of subscribers mean very little. 

pewdiepie may have over 30m subscribers, but his videos average way less than 30m views each.  They average less than 10m each.  Many of his videos are under 5m in the view mark, and those are generally his more recent videos as well.  The majority of his videos with the most amount of views are from 1 year ago or longer. 

Also, the Playstation youtube account only has 1/10th the amount of subscribers pewdiepie has.  How much does that mean, given that Sony is pretty much leading this gen home console sales?  

What I'm saying is that pewdiepie's influence is not THAT big for companies like Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.  He definitely could have an effect, but it's easily debateable on how much it really is.

edit: I should also point out here, to strengthen what I've been saying, is that the subscriber-to-viewer count for pewdiepie is worse than many others who have 3-5m subscribers.


PewDiePie has numerous subcategories, dude. The views are split among all of those. Regardless he  tramples over Nintendo in views, so theres is definitely nothing weak about what I am saying. Its Nintendos influence on Youtube that is more questionable than his.

I'm not sure where people are getting this idea that they should be able to use copyrighted content however they like. You can certainly argue that Nintendo *should* let people use their content, but the idea that it's morally wrong for Nintendo to prevent people from using their content, or try and profit from them doing so is ridiculous. Just because it's easy nowadays to upload copyrighted material doesn't mean it somehow becomes ok.


It's like some of these youtubers came to our world from the other side of... "The Scary Door"

Either way, him complaining about Nintendo is not good for them considering how large his fanbase is.

So what are you saying? That he commands over Nintendo???

What the hell are you talking about? He doesn't play Nintendo games so it's not about the money. He's saying this because he's the most subscribed youtuber and he does have influence, it doesn't matter if you don't like him or not. He is standing up for the smaller gaming youtubers. It's also a disgusting thing what Nintendo is doing, if you say good things about Nintendo we will give you 100% of the ad revenue, wow.

"If you say good things about Nintendo we will give you 100% of the ad revenue, wow."

https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/8437345024/h53E11E9B

Don't kid yourself, it's always about money with Youtubers.

 


I don't get it? Can you not read? He doesn't play Nintendo games so this plan doesn't effect him, he's just saying what he thinks about the plan. Now for other youtubers it is about the money because for some Youtubers it is their JOB. 

Also, I don't get what the picture has to do with what I said? He was playing a game and he enjoyed it. Was that wrong of him to enjoy playing a game? They took that quote out of him playing a game for the first time. I've seen 100s of videos of people playing games for the first time and say that they enjoyed it. It was his first impression of the game and he enjoyed it, ooooo.

It also seems like you don't understand what Nintendos plan says. There is an option available where you can get 100% of the revenue(of course youtube takes its cut first) but ONLY if Nintendo approves the video. So basically if you don't say good things about Nintendos videos then they will not extempt the video and you will not get the 100% revenue. So some people will only say good things about Nintendo videos so they get the 100%.

I don't agree. Reviews are not advertisement. It would only be considered advertisement to me if the company pays the reviewer to give a good review. Otherwise, a review is just a review, a separate thing from advertisement. Advertisement is created to look at the good parts and tell you that you should buy the product. Reviews are there to weigh the pros and cons and determine whether or not you should buy the product. There's a clear distinction there. Reviews are important to the companies because they know that advertisement only is showing what the company wants to show, but reviews are coming from a third party point of view so it's easier to trust them when they say it's good or bad.


Youtubers don't get paid by companies. They are doing the same job that the other sites are doing, but they are getting paid via ad revenue. If people watch their reviews to make a decision on a game its free advertisement (As Pewdiepie said). They are getting paid by other people via ads on their page due to their popularity;however, advertisment is also propaganda, bringing or explaining a product to a person through media. The media they are using are primarily internet vlogs which are the in thing now. 

As for companies paying for good reviews, I'm sure they've found a way around the lack of professionalism pertaining to that. I've heard of them inviting reviewers to lavish parties before too because they aren't supposed to be paying them.

Except reviews are not advertisement.  Just because someone bought a game because of a review doesn't make it suddenly advertisement.  

Here's a definition that explains pretty well why a review is not advertisement:

Advertising

Definition: To call the public's attention to your business, usually for the purpose of selling products or services, through the use of various forms of media, such as print or broadcast notices


 

A review is NOT created for the purpose of selling the product, but to inform the consumer on IF they should.

I addressed every single game individually. I can't see how minecraft's success is dependent on youtubers. It's success is based off being a great game that would've got word of mouth either way, not because people who do youtube as a business covered it. The argument was that these popular people can affect the sales of games. My argument is that these people are popular because of the popularity of the game (in Minecraft's case.) 

Flappy Bird was a hit mobile game before PewDiePie covered it. 

http://www.businessinsider.com/flappy-bird-is-doing-50000-in-revenue-per-day-2014-2

"For reasons he doesn't fully understand the app just took off and has suddenly become super popular. Today, it has 50 million downloads."

PewDiePie posted his video on FlappyBird Jan 27th, 2014, after its success. 

Sure go ahead and try to petition people to ignore me. I atleast support my claims with substance. You just make claims.
