Is the YouTube hype over? A lot of people that live off of YouTube are complaining about declining revenue and viewsand are begging on patreon now/stream on twitch too. It seems people are just not font anymore of ads and the reason are supscription based ad free streaming services.
http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/youtube-advertising-creative-decade-decline/1333689
A few years back eberybody said it will kill Television but it didn't, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Video are.
And now they even try to do something similar with YouTube Red.
Is it over? How much longer do Dougé, the AVGN and RLM have left before they can't live off of low quality internet videos anymore?

Holy shit those are some great titties.
>>64470613
No youtube has shifted. It now favors those who can actually make content other than vlogs. So all the Vloggers are bitching about it.
Dear God I hope so.

Bet you go round telling kids Santa isn't real
Youtube is declining, but there's something you don't seem to realize about Youtube. Those popular channels like Channel Awesome, Red Letter Media, Cinemassacre, Watch Mojo, Screw Attack, Cinema Sins, etc. only make up a small fraction of Youtube's content. There are thousands upon thousands of shows and channels on Youtube that you've never even heard of, and the reason you've never heard of them is because they literally aren't worth following at all.
Youtube isn't like cable television where if your preferred shows aren't on then you can always browse around and find something else. At first glance, it seems like it should be, but all the random content that doesn't fall under those few popular channels is literally complete dog shit. Absolutely no production value. Absolutely no artistic merit. Absolutely nothing worth watching. It's like public access television, but much much worse.
In the end, Youtube itself probably won't die, but all the random vloggers that nobody cares about will die out to the point where you only have the following content:
>The few popular channels like Channel Awesome, RLM, etc.
>Streaming music with a static image as it's "video"
>Let's Plays/Video game walkthroughs
Essentially, I'm elaborating on the point >>64470738 made. Youtube is not dying. It's gradually trimming off it's own fat.
>>64470647
That won't save YouTube either, Netflix is showing tits too.
>>64470738
Really? Because it seems the biggest earners that don't have some label behind them are still vloggers and let's players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_subscribed_users_on_YouTube
I think maybe only 1 or 2 of the indipendent video producers on this list could produce content that would let them survuve on some subsription based service.
>>64470915
That is true because traditional ads don't work as well anymore and people use adblockers shilling get's worse and worse. South Park hit it on the head again.
At least they have to mark it as ads now.

It's about time the Youtube Yakuza hand over their reign over the #1 internet service provider.
>You will never be an autist that embarrass themselves on twitch for money
Why even live
>>64470969
I'm guessing you don't know what multi-channel networks are. All of the top earners on youtube don't actually own their channels. They are owned by groups like Fullscreen and Revision 3.
Isn't that the finebros gril? She grew nice tits senpai
post nip slip
>>64470964
Not true at all.
The channels with only a few k subsribers make a few dollars the people behind them don't live off of YouTube so it's a hobby.
The ones that are complaining are the channel owners you mentioned minus Watch Mojo and maybe Cinema Sins. People at the 250k-3million subsriber range that live off of YouTube and make less and less money. It's the middle that is dying not the top or bottom.
Also there are very well channels with a small following but decent production value especially non English channels that do it as a hobby.
>>64471122
Yes I know they have networks behind them I just wanted to exclude stuff like Justin Biever and Katy Perry and didn't know how to express that properly.

>implying
The best YouTube channels are those belonging to people that don't use it as a way to make money, but just post autistic comment for other autists interested in the same thing.
They'll never go away, because they're not there to make money. Most of them get like 3000 views max per video. And god bless them.

Just how long can you watch someone sat in their bedroom in front of a webcam talking or playing video games before it gets boring? I've seen guys who get a few hundred views per yt video yet earn $2k+ a month on Patreon. I think some might survive just acting as surrogate friends through their streaming and live off a small hardcore fanbase giving donations and Patreon bucks.

vain bitches
they're complaining because they aren't making as much money and they are begging with patreon and doing livestreams because it's another source of revenue and they aren't content with their lifestyle
I'm sure they could do fine with just youtube but it's always more more more
>>64471223
how do u get these vids? what is her snap?
is there a collection?
>>64471363
>The "community" is awful: the creators are cancerous sycophants and rabble-rousers
Sounds like a good fit then?
>Obtrusive advertising interruptions are one of the reasons people moved away from traditional television.
This I agree with 100%. Probably why blip died too. How do they not realize people are sick of that shit?
>>64471452
RLM does. Dougé is reluctant probably because the whole Channel Awesome thing?
>>64471498
He said after he ended it with ScrewAttack the AVGN belongs to Cinemassacre now.
Mike also asked people to deactivate adblockers so I guess they are independent.
>>64471509
Yeah the middle mostly is.
>>64471572
This. Even the 360p 10:59min times were better than what we have now.
>>64471627
They are also fearing it will go even more downhill from here on out.
Man this patreon shit is baffling to me. I know we are going more and more from selling products to selling services but man that shit is over the line.
>>64471722

That is why you avoid the frontpage.
2006-2008 YouTube was chill as fuck. People made videos because they liked it not to earn money.
And the communities were a lot better too.Walkthroughs>Let's Plays
>>64471989
Most of them already do. That is why YouTube started their streaming service.
>>64472068
dem tittays
>>64470613
Seems like lets players make more money than ever because they are now actually paid by marketing firms and developers to play their games. Most of them have a patreon account because why the fuck not? If you could make 2-5k$ a month basically from a tip jar, without doing any extra work, why wouldn't you?

>>64472068
Tips fedora
Under your logic avoiding the front page would mean YouTube is still good as well
Are you implying people just don't upload videos anymore just for fun and not a way to make money? Some of my favorite channels on YouTube only have about 2k subscribers with 3k views and under there's more videos on YouTube besides let's plays and autist with webcams spatting out opinions
>>64470613
I can wait to "former youtube celeb" turning into porn.
Sadly it will be all gay porn.
>>64471906
don't you ever forget to include lets play and raging autists who want underage monie
>>64471223
Imagine being so vain and conceited that you hold your phone out to film yourself when you're literally not doing anything content-worthy.
>>64472128
The big ones get paid and free copies, medium ones get free copies and the small ones buy and make videos about the game because they want to be popular too. Pretty good business model for marketing. I still don't get why you would want to watch somebody else play a game instead of playing yourself. Especially if it's a new game.

Yes there are and those are the only thing worth a damn anymore pretty much.
But they don't make Google any money and that is all it's about.

They don't. They watch them play games they wouldn't have played. Are you Jimmy Kimmel? I mean, I don't watch lets players myself, but the concept why people watch them really isn't very difficult to understand.

is lia even underage?
>>64472845
Not anymore, IIRC there was a nip slip in one of her videos recently.
lia is going to get fat, her face is already looking too fat.
Impressive example of the Streisand effect.

this always happens to women who look womanly at young age.

>>64473286
what is the streisant effect?
>>64473323
>The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.
>>64473313
ah it was the little things like that that made people happy back then...
>>64473323
>what is the streisant effect?
basically if you try to hide something on the internet, you will fail and everyone will talk about the very thing you are trying to hide much more than they would have otherwise
case in point: thread is going along fine, mostly on topic discussion
janitor comes in and deletes all lia images
now everyone is talking about hot pockets and lia
>>64470613
Competition.
You have the obese fedora who thought he could make money talking about games, movies and feminism and the professional (even if he doesn't look like) guy with a script created by a group of writers and supported by a conglomerate.
It's the same with music. Who is making millions every year, Taylor Swift or that guy who used to play guitar in high school?BTW, can you anyone repost a link of OP's webm?
I stopped adding stuff on 2012, most of these are thanks to aGrimessong. I wonder if I can make something useful out of my account one day.
>>64473373
Or maybe is Lia herself posting images and deleting them to achieve streisand effect?
>>64470613
Was it a female janitor who deleted this? Was she jealous? Stay tuned for it is entirely obvious
>>64473355

Youtube is for DIY tutorials and Munchies not stupid ass vloggers you fucking idiot children
>>64473492
The production value is pretty good for 2008.
>>64473394
Well yeah at a certain point they all have a network behind them.
And at a certain point it just all looks the same. How many more make up videos do there need to be?
How many more let's plays of Skyrim, Dota and Mine Craft?
How many more videos full of jump cuts about a popular topic you have no idea about can those vloggers produce?
I think saturation is also a big part of why views are going down.

Thank you very much.
Also interesting aspect.
> Since December, views on YouTube have dropped 28%, and March views are only slightly above what they were a year ago, startling for a site accustomed to breakneck growth.
>It's an intended consequence of the Google-owned site's shift from a video search engine filled with snack-size content to a full-fledged, couch-potato-optimized entertainment destination. At YouTube, the "view" is out and "engagement" is in.
>After investing $100 million to create content channels, YouTube's focus has shifted from directing viewers to videos of skateboarding dogs to enticing them into longer, more engaging videos—the kind that are, not incidentally, more appealing to advertisers.

the end of Youtube
I just wish social media wasn't a thing at all and they would go away, twitch, steam, twitter, instagram, facebook, Youtube, Netflix, etc. They offer absolutely nothing to society or culture at all.
>>64474857
Jesus, and that's WITH the increase in people with access to the internet
>>64475918

wat
But those are the times we live in. Subscription is the way to go ownership is passe so can't resell anything and everybody become a customer. That way you can also kill the middle man.
It is already common from cars to television and this business model will grow.
Prepare to not actually own your furniture ect.
>>64476187
Steam may as well be social media, except it disguises itself very well to not appear that way.
>>64477619
I only use it to play shitty games.
