I wish people like this would die.
>>28888024
I'll bet you do.
Don't see the issue. He provides a service (videogame streaming "entertainment", I presume) and he receives funding.
>>28888024
If it makes you feel better his popularity will die in less than 10 years. How is he going to afford his lifestyle when videogame streaming is no longer paying his bills? He will end up bankrupt and probably kill himself. No one wants to watch a middle aged guy steam himself playing videogames.
Who is that? I don't watch streams.
>>28888061
He doesn't have any real talent or purpose to brag about having nice cars and a house. I wouldn't be mad if he was older and actually achieved something good for the world, but this fucking autistic looking faggot literally doesn't do shit. I hope he crashes doing 150 mph
>tfw people like this will be among the first to get sent to gulag after National Bolshevik revolution
The good thing is that people like that will be homeless in 5 years. Easy come, easy go, same thing as the majority of professional athletes.

He clearly is spending a fuck ton of money judging by that house and cars.
>>28888104
>>28888147
>Being this butthurt
If faggy little gaymers like you want to watch him play videogames, then that's their prerogative.
Try streaming and get rich too
>>28888178
what do you think the mortgage is on that house? How much do you think those cars cost? If he keeps up this level of spending he'll never be able to sustain it.
Even if I became a billionaire overnight I wouldn't get a house like that. Rent a nice place in Manhattan. That way there's no lease over your head, you're still in a great place but you're not in a cavernous mansion that creaks at night. Of course that's just my own opinion.
hey man he made his money legit. the people you should be wishing to do are the 12 year olds that fucking watch the garbage content these people create. after seeing their favorite youtuber open $1000 worth of packs/cases/microtransactions those 12 year olds come in and spend mommy and daddys money ruining the gaming industry for us who don't want to spend over a grand to experience the entire game.
>>28888181
A lot of people love video games. The only difference between this faggot and the rest is that he started doing YouTube commentaries a lot earlier and is articulate enough to put up videos that fucking faggots enjoy.
I hope his house gets broken into by a pack of wild niggers
>>28888219
Like i've said "unless" but in this case once he's out of radar he'll stay that way. A lot of former cs players attend trade schools or finish bachelor degrees so it's possible to make a buck even after being famous.

I don't know who this guy is but I'm just guessing the minute his popularity drops off is the minute he files for bankruptcy. He looks like he's spending money faster than he's making it if he bought both those cars and that house.
>>28888299
I'm mad that talentless people like him aren't even humble enough to not post pics like this. The bragging is what kills me.
>>28888299
he has all right to be jealous though
>>28888024
Sorry, but what exactly is going on here. Did some youtube faggot make enough money off his videos to buy this house? If so, wow.

>>28888266
>the people you should be wishing to do are the 12 year olds that fucking watch the garbage content these people create
This. Though 12 years old might be a little too high for some of them. Try 9. Anyway there are worse people with lots of money than some guy who spends 12 hours per day playing videos games.
I actually like (some) games and would never want to do what these people do. Can you imagine basically being forced to do what you originally thought was a fun hobby all day just to amuse 9 year olds who don't block adverts on YouTube and donate on Twitch? As soon as the next wacky lol random steamer comes along you lose all your revenue.
Let them enjoy working hard for what it gets them, OP. It isn't easy to keep a bunch of kids amused every single day.

His net worth is 2.1million that's quite incredible, his career will last as long as call of duty is around, and I don't see that series stopping anytime soon.

>>28888024
I don't even mind the ones that make half decent content, I'm a little jealous but don't mind.
But big names like Tmartn and Ali-A shit out the most mediocre content day after day with clickbait titles, and have the biggest subscriber bases and make the most money all because they're invited to exclusive CoD events that lets them publish upcoming content before any other youtubers
>>28888024

Goddamn, stories like this just leave me feeling dejected. I was never into writing for the money or fame (both are practically nonexistent) and I can't see myself doing anything else, but it really makes me sad to see what kind of pursuits society rewards and what kind it punishes.

Personally I'm under the impression that black ops 3 will be the last great call of duty (I know a lot of people hated it but I personally loved it)
I think Activision are heading in a direction that will ultimately kill the franchise with the "pay for a chance to win" shit.
Not to mention, the trailer for the next CoD is the 2nd most disliked video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeF3UTkCoxY&index=2&list=PLirAqAtl_h2o1ism1dr5SbvB8Mf7Ve6Aa
Infinity ward have been shit for years now, treyarch was CoD's last hope and won't release anything else until late 2018

I don't write erotica, I write literary fiction that I then send out to lit journals and magazines--some paying, some not. It's a hard but creatively-fulfilling life desu. I just wish it were a bit more viable as a career, although I guess it ensures that the majority of people who pursue it (erotica and money-grubbing YA fiction aside) aren't in it for the money, but for the artform itself.

>>28888748
>not writing romance serials
You're missing the big bucks, m8. 1 book a month pays as much as a middle class job if you do it right. In some cases, you can even break six-figures. Combine that with being able to live virtually anywhere and you can live like a king in a nowhere or 2nd/3rd world country.
The more you put out, the larger your following will be. Each book launch is generally more successful than the last. It's a fun business.
I don't understand why a single person would want to live in a big house like that in the suburbs. Even if I was rich I would probably stay in a relatively modest apartment, and spend my money on hobbies or investments. Buying a house like that when you don't have a family seems backwards to me
>just do like him and start making youtube videos
>stop being jealous
Allow me to interject for a moment.
This guy can get away with it PRECISELY because he's already rich to being with AND good-looking. So, unlike most youtuber, he could start right away with top notch materials for example.
If you really believe that some ugly nerd living in his mom's basement can start to make youtube videos too, even more now that the market is saturated, then you're highly delusional.
>>28888866

>>28888868

>>28888868
It's also harder for people who have other jobs. They can't dedicate the enormous amount of time it takes to making this pretty much non-stop content that pushes your videos to the front page of YouTube.

We had this bloody discussion a century ago.
People used to slave away in factories or at farms and die from overworking themselves and then there were these little faggots who would just write down their philosophies and create ideologies around their thoughts theories on the ways of living etc and then became famous and earned millions on it. They would maybe release dozen books during their entire lifetime and would die old after years of partying.
>>28889382
>no one reads newspapers any more
All news are online and many people read them still, otherwise the journalistic job market is pretty much the same as it used to be 50 years ago.

You have to create your own god damn market if you want to make money doing stuff that you like, no one wants to hear some random middle class white guy with no education ranting about black lives matter when there are literally thousands of people doing that already.

I don't write for money, though, and I never will. What part of my post gave you that impression?
>>28889598
I was a journalism major for two years dude, you don't know what you're talking about. There just simply aren't the jobs there used to be. I watched journalism student after journalism student graduate with stellar GPAs and interning experience with no place to work. That's because 50 years ago pretty much every city had multiple newspapers with considerable subscription bases. Now you;re lucky if you have one functioning paper in your town and the advertising space for said paper is far lower than it used to be. Online journalism is still nowhere near as profitable since the market is saturated and as such papers hire writers and editors at far lower rates. To say the journalistic job market is "pretty much the same" is ridiculous. Did you just simply not pay attention to the last decade in American journalism?
My best friend in college had a 4.0, he interned at the Chicago Tribune and was the editor of our campus paper and the only paper willing to hire him after graduation was in Laramie, Wyoming for less than $30,000/year. He ended up just going to law school.
>>28889598

I know how you feel, bro. I try to avoid calling myself a "writer" because of the cancerous filth I would be associating myself with: the self-published Reddit-browsing housewives who think of themselves as serious "writers" when they literally paid to print out twenty copies of their garbage fantasy novel with a spelling error in every other sentence, and the insufferably-pretentious liberal pundits who jerk off to their MFAs and write identical garbage alt-lit for the hipster millennial crowd that laps that shit up.

>>28889598
>and then there were these little faggots who would just write down their philosophies and create ideologies around their thoughts theories on the ways of living etc and then became famous and earned millions on it.
Are you seriously comparing writers who wrote theories, ideologies, philosophies and thoughts... to a fucking 15 year old making money by playing videogames, and saying they're the same?
Writers actually make things that are useful and have good potential. Ideas that can be built upon and analyzed for the greater good of the future and humankind.

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. You insinuated that the road to literary success is gaining a following through self-publishing and then getting picked up by a traditional publisher. That will almost certainly not work and it's absolutely not a viable plan. So much of your success in the industry is based on luck and factors out of your control and so knowing how to succeed is in no way a guarantee or indicator of success. Stop lecturing people when you literally don't know what you're talking about.
I sometimes wonder, what the fuck have we actually created in the last 16 years? Where are the new ideas, the visionary breakthroughs, the literary masterworks?

Sorry to break it to you guys but have you ever considered that your stories and prose just aren't good? I read fifty shades of grey and it had probably the worst writing, as if the woman didn't even take English in high school, yet she's a millionaire with 1 movie out and another movie in the works.
Before you start releasing your personal works you need to write something that gets attention. Take up a new project. Fanfictions romantic stories and erotica have a hidden audience. Also if you think you are talented enough fantasy and sci-fi have dedicated audiences.
If you're looking to write what you want know that not a days if it isn't amazing piece of literature you won't get credit. It's the same for traditional and digital artists. There are many great writers, but realistically nobody is looking for great, they look for legendary.
Try being more open to other ideas. Study what people are into and make your story around that. Hunger games, twilight, divergent all that shit gets famous. Go their direction.

It was originally a Twilight fan-fiction.
On the other hand you have guys like this:

Works 7 days a week, uni drop out and started fixing devices on the street.
In life you either get lucky and hit it big, or you sell your freedom and become a wagecuck.
The only thing that irks me is that I'm sure the guy in the OP thinks he has worked really hard for his wealth and deserves it.
How do these people get money from Twitch so easy. I'm a 28 year old trying to break into the Twitch scene, hoping someday to earn extra income along with my underpaying job. So far I have no to few followers. Currently I'm trying to play Overwatch and some other games around the time of Midnight every day. Because I still live with my parents because they need my income to live because they're unemployed since 50.
>>28891676
So embrace YA dystopian fiction...right...
(I prefer a novel spoofing most of the famous ones, it's sorely needed)
YouTubers may not need a lot of skill, but they need the following :
Social skills, being likable, luck, devotion, possibly funding for camera equipment or a good pc.
Let's take pewdiepie. He dropped out of university to pursue his YouTube career when it was still in its beginnings. He worked in a Hotdog stand to get by financially. That's devotion for me.
He is pretty likable. Imagine the average /r9k/ autist starting a YouTube channel. Nobody would want to watch that shit.
Social skills: you need to be friendly and not a sociopath who is only in it for the money. The money hunger will naturally develop once you start getting rich, but at the beginning you should care more about the community and the fans, because they're who are making you money.
And yeah luck because there can only be one person on top. Pewdiepie is on top, while a lot of great people aren't. That's just luck.
It's actually like becoming a Porn actor. I guess anyone could do it, but the fans decide who they like and who is good and who is boring or unattractive.
>>28888147
>implying you wouldn't be second in line
>>28892021
>Currently I'm trying to play Overwatch
Too saturated at the moment. You either play one game at god level or some obscure ones. If you're entertaining enough, people will stick with you. If you could get into Overwatch team and get even into small lan-tournament, you'll get fame. Also you have to have some sort of your own attribute - doing something on some day. There are plenty of guys who play good but suck at entertainment therefore they are largely unknown.
>>28891300

YT is a volatile business you can crash and burn just as fast as you got big. And gaming streaming isn't going to be popular forever.
>>28888024
I like his videos tho, don't watch them often. He has a talent for making gaming videos people want to watch and gets money for it. What's wrong with that? He isn't using his body like twitch camwhores.

What an idiot. Why would he even go ahead share this tweet? I bet a lot of his followers are kids from poor as shit families

>MUH CAPITALISM
Fucking retards ITT don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Capitalism is good.
But modern capitalism is cheat capitalism? What do I mean by this?
In modern capitalism, using technology and massive marketing firms it is now directly more efficient to create value in a product rather than create a product people value.
Via marketing and posturing we can now make something nonsensical into an item of value. We could argue this was first practiced by DeBeers using the diamond trade, by artificially creating demand by purposely restricting an item from the market.
Now, in the tech age, it's much more complex, megacorporations can now directly manipulate the conditions to create value in an item, a culture, even a piece of information - it can still be useless, misleading or even harmful.
Capitalism is bastardized, broken.
To reiterate: it is more efficient now to directly create value in a product in the minds of people than it is to create a product of value or use.
For the extra retarded:
Old capitalism: Reward for providing a service/use/valuable item.
New capitalism: Reward for creating value in the cheapest output possible.
Your money and labor is literally becoming worthless before your eyes as the meaning of what is valuable is literally LITERALLY being manipulated freely and people actually defend this.

None of you actually read or do anything to expand yourselves, you're complaining to complain.
Most everyone I've ever met in my life that promotes reading doesn't read, they're pseudo intellectuals, and what they do read is either YA shit or fantasy.
It's fine to like those things, but don't tout yourself as any better than someone else if you do.
If anyone is curious what the top letsplayers make a month (ssundee was hacked on bouth youtube/twitter and the hacker posted the earnings). This is just ad revenue alone, not even mentioning the game deals/merch.

1)You guys are underestimating the work that goes into these videos.
2)if you dont like capitalism maybe communism would suit you? Whats wrong guys? Sont like it when capitalism isn't speicifically in your favour?
I don't know what type of gaming video he makes but aomeone give me his YouTube channel and ill make similar content with similar quality and ill show you how difficult it is to make so much as $1million dollars from YouTube.
It's always the ones like that does nothing that thinks something is easier than it actually is e.g. A lot of you here mentions pewdiepie just screaming on cam and boom another big pay cheque feom his videos, so what are you waiting fo if it's so easy? Why arent you doing it? Lets hear your excuses.
But really. ill make similar content to the guy in OPs pic. Just tell me his YouTube channel and ill look into his content, then ill make similar content to prove how difficult it is to make bank through youtube.
>>28888024
Damn. If 3 million youtube subscribers can get you that, I wonder what pewdiepie could afford.

he's not really generating anything though.
I guess it's good that he's stimulating the economy with his purchases, but that's about it.
I don't see how watching someone play a video game does much for anything in the short or long term.
15-20 years ago if you told people that someone could make millions doing that, they'd laugh in your face and/or dread the shit-pit that culture must have become for that to be possible.
Don't worry, when they decide to close down the gravy train all these people will be back where they started within a few years.
Maybe 5% are actually smart enough to save their money because they know it wont last forever.
Look at all these people who win the lottery and then 3 years later they are back on welfare and owe hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I envy him but that doesn't mean I should hate him; I should aspire to be like him. This is the fundamental societal trait that made the United States the greatest nation in the history of man.
>>28898619
Actually you should hate him. You should hate anyone who got a better starting position than you, because it's not fair that he had a better start.
>>28898642
But he never chose his starting conditions, and if i could choose mine I would undoubtedly pick the best ones possible.
>>28898676
So what? He has better life because he got lucky. That's not fair and I will hate anyone who is like this. It's only rational.
>>28888514
hell is real
We live in a world of capitalism.
That means there will always be people who earn money doing bullshit.
Get over it.
>>28898619
I think it's irrational to hate him without solid reason, but often times jealousy does make people mad, especially when they see someone making a lot of money for something they feel is not worthy of such an income.
My belief is that the very richest should be investing more in our country. They should give back shit tons, because they have a LOT to give. A lot of them don't, and it's a damn shame.
If I was worth 10 billion dollars, at the very minimum one billion would go back to improving my state. If I ever become incredibly rich I am definitely giving back to where I came from, in order to ensure that other people have the same opportunities to succeed.
tl;dr we shouldn't hate people for being successful, but we also shouldn't hate people for being poor and assume they're lazy and worthless

Obviously this guy has not worked hard for those cars etc. Do not come here and tell me that streaming and making Youtube videos is hard work.
I work as a roofer and I will probably get the same pay as he get in a month in 10 years or so.
How can you even call that fair?

If his job is so easy and requires no effort for much greater pay why don't you do it yourself?
>>28899309
Probably because he isn't an attractive normie.
Just because one man won the lottery doesn't mean everyone who bets can win it. And that's what's not fair.
>>28899368
So the problem isn't anything that Tmartn did, the problem is the fact that each human has a unique set of genetics and some are objectively better than others.
Why get mad at him if he didn't choose his genetics, the same way you didn't choose yours?
>>28899395
>Why get mad at him if he didn't choose his genetics, the same way you didn't choose yours?
Because he has better life than me due to things out of his control. And that's not fair.
>>28899410
But that's not his fault.
>>28899426
So what? I don't give a shit about that just like many normies don't give a shit that I got born unlucky to be ugly, short and dumb.
>>28899432
It's inherently irrational to dislike someone based on something that was forced on them by someone else.

Shittiest film ever.
>>28899447
But people hate me for being ugly. They treat me poorly because of it. But that's okay, right? Because normies are doing it, so it's natural. FUCK YOU.
I'm mad. I really am.
>>28899456
Just because you were wronged does not justify your wronging of someone else. It's wrong in both cases.
>>28899466
It does actually. If normies wrong me for things out of my control I will wrong them back. It's only natural.
>>28899484
Of course that is the natural reaction, but that does not make it the morally correct or desirable reaction.
>>28899495
But when normies do this, it's considered to be acceptable.
Superior people treating inferior like shit => considered okay
Inferior people treating them like shit back => considered not okay
It's not fair.
>>28888024
eh he's going good now but the bubble WILL burst and after that he will have nothing, no valuable skills at all.
>>28899522
Inferior people are, by definition, shit, so that's not an entirely true equivalence.
You can't expect things to be fair when the quality of each person's genetics and circumstance varies so wildly.
>>28893343
What these communist, Che Guevera T-shirt wearing, latte sipping millenial hipsters don't understand is that if there is an armed revolution in America, it will be white rednecks killing their dumb liberal asses in cosmopolitan LA, NY and San Francisco. They won't be killing the rich billionaires.

While there's some more work into making youtube crap than buying a ticket, whether you make it or not still has more to do with luck than anything.
People love to throw the just world fallacy term around in loosely related situations, while youtubers are the definition of the term. Making popular youtube videos requires acting dumb, crass, loud, keeping pre-teens addicted to your garbage like a virtual crack dealer selling right outside of the schoolgate.
Not only it sucks, but on virtue of being so much easier to produce it dwarfs quality content, gets more recommendations, and the rich gets richer. Endless loop of crap, pushing higher quality channels out of the market.

You know what's the worst? That if there's a guy who will say "hey I'll make a game, if you're interested and want to support me in making it, please donate" and then he makes a game, that you actually like, he will recieve maybe 100$ on patreon if he's lucky. But if a FAGGOT makes a reaction video to that game, his reaction video with him screaming like an autistic kid will make him thousands.
CONTENT is no longer rewarded. Guys who create actual CONTENT are not rewarded.

There are pretentious fucks in the whole thread that, while they are 99% change o them bullshiting, (>>28888514; >>28888677, for example) still bothers me.
No, you untalented fucks. Books are going nowhere. Radio didn't killed it, TV didn't killed, internet haven't killed and nor will youtube. There will always be people interested in stories. Good authors, or at least interesting authors, make real bank doing their work. Yeah, they don't earn more than a fucking Taylor Swift, but they still provide value.
There is no inherent value. No matter how much you cry that what you do is valuable, if nobody sees so.
