What does /pol/ think of people who make Youtube gaming videos for a living? Is it degenerate? Most of them say they put in a lot of work editing their videos.
Why did pewdiepie and other chap copy our jack?

how anybody can watch a grown man sit and shout at a video game for hours on end is beyond me.
>>76186573
Its entertaining
>Most of them say they put in a lot of work editing their videos.
lot of work != quality work
They're all really obnoxious.

just meeting market demand, if you dont like it blame all the shitty parents out there who let their kids vege out on the internet all day

For kids
It's new style of comedy. I ocasionally watch Funhaus, they can be funny.
I can't blame the people making money off it but the people who waste any time watching are retards

Friend Simulator 2016.
Super degenerate
-Eats into game sales
-Lets players get paid more than game coders
-Effectively piggybacking off of copyrighted material for profit
Can't wait till games companies start banning this more.
They found a niche and they capitalized on it. More power to them I say.
Wish I thought of it first and was pretty and charismatic enough to make it work. Isn't Pewdiepie absolutely fucking rolling in money?
>>76186448
I personally hate pewdiepie and markiplier with a burning passion, but who is the middle fag?
Never even thought about it, since I've never even watched one of those videos.
I'd rather play a game than watch another person play it.

>Is it degenerate?
yes

a stockbroker would also say that he does much work, when he's snorting coke from a hookers ass crack.
Being a gaming youtuber is the easiest thing you can do on YouTube. Just play around 7 hours of gameplay, cut it down, have your autistic screaming and bad 12 year old humor carrying your bad and boring ass gameplay. All 12 year old boys will flock to you like ducks to bread.
Bonus if you're handsome some grils will watch you because "you're entertaining"

He's a swede though, so there's always that.
I'll put it like this, boy. These weasels better be saving that money for retirement, because in 10 years the world is going to have forgotten them completely.
"Let's Play" doesn't look good on a resume.

Yeah, I doubt that's going to happen.
If anything, game makers will probably (if they haven't already) work out some kind of deal with YouTube where they get a chunk of the ad revenue for the videos that featured their game.
>>76186573
This what /v/ threads are like. And people keep coming back.
>>76187075
Nintendo does this already.
But most other developers like Let's Players because it's basically free advertisment. The ones who don't like it are the ones who produce shit games.
>>76187506
>Free advertisment
Yeah revealing the entirety of the game to lazy fucks who "don't have the time to game anyway" isn't actually a good marketting strategy.
I'm talking about high budget scripted games with emphasis on story mode, it might be helpful for sandbox, rts, fighters, and games with odd mechanics.
Ban lets plays and go back to 10 minute reviews.
Youtube as it currently stands is going to collapse anyway ad revenue is decimated, and even if they can get people to stop using adblock that won't solve the problem that people are not buying as much pointless shit as they used to.
i don't watch his videos but pewdiepie doesn't seem that bad
i get the impression that he's a redpilled autist who just happens to be liked by normies
>>76186801
They make advertisement of these titles for free, especially since most of the footage concerns little/obscure games that could not reach the1/1000 of the audience without them.
It is no coincidence that a game like Minecraft exploded in terms of sales at the same moment "Let's play did".
I personnaly have no problem with them, most people you see complaining are butthurts who think they can do better than Pewdiepie since he is a "dumbass/faggot/retard", still at the end of the day I see a businessman with a multimillion-worth brand who makes deal with Disney while there is millions of challengers, when them are unknown whiny little bitches on internet.
By the way I would prefer my kids watching gaming youtubers instead of MTV or the last confusing SJW cartoon/show.
>>76188455
Why? They won't sell the game to most viewers anyway, banning them will just make even less people maybe buy the game, and it makes you look bad to the public.
