He only has +100 million subs because of this moment. Subscribe to PewDiePie wouldn't be a thing if he didn't Chudout at the bridge. The Aussie manlet wouldn't name-drop him either if it wasn't for this moment. If we think about it, he's only in Japan because of the bridge.

My unironic take is that this was the metaphorical bridge where internet culture died and transitioned into super corporate sanitized dogshit. Also i recently realized that niggers (or their handlers) did an incredible job with turning this word into a magic word. We started with magical words making you the worst kind of racist and now we have niggers being actually racist and nobody does anything about it cause they can be racists.

You literally have a nervous breakdown over video game players calling each other niggers over the internet, this is even cheaper than shooting someone with bullets. Get over yourself.

Samefag but you also didn't address anon's point. He's right, people were unreasonably angry about some swedish guy they've never even heard of calling another player a nigger in a game for playing like a nigger. It wasn't really that big of a deal but people will look for any reason to be angry with one another these days.

Believe it or not, that was the exact moment when gaming culture as we knew it died. Everyone was doing what Pewdiepie did back then, you got frustrated so you said a gamer word. They have successful taken those words away from most gamers by stigmatizing them. You can't speak the forbidden words now or your ass gets fucking banned, you used to be able to drop slurs 24/7 with no punishment.
>>
I drop slurs in valve games all the time. Dota, CS, Deadlock, TF2.

sometimes you get muted.. but most of the time you don't
>>
I can't help but feel a little bit bitter that he, PewDiePie, YouTuber multi-millionaire, is still putting in two sponsorships advertisements onto every single one of his videos, even his family vlogs.
I mean, I'd probably be doing the same if I could, but still, he's been milking that cow for more than a decade, and it's still not enough.
>>
>>737501823
The internet was already on its deathbed by that point, YouTube was monetized, Twitter was popular, and Pewdie was brainless retard content for brainless retard children. It wasn't close to as bad as it is now granted but it was way beyond its peak.
>>
>>737504628
>not enough
see, this is the part I don't understand about people who complain about sponsorships.
People are willing to PAY HIM to talk about their product for a minute or two. Give him good money, in the 4 or possibly 5 figure range, for 2 minutes.
you would have to be the most retarded, braindead, gorilla faced motherfucker to not take that deal. It will ALWAYS be worth it to make more money if you can.

Yeah... I understand.
It's just that, once upon a time, playing the game, clickbaiting, sponsorships, merch, #ad and adbreaks, these used to be considered the activities of a sell-out, someone who knowingly and actively prioritizes monetization to the detriment of their fans.
There used to be this idea that shilling for your fans was the necessary cost of doing business, something that's necessary but should be minimized, and there was this expectation, this naive, possibly parasocial expectation, that once you make it big, you should quit milking the cow so hard, because it's the right thing to do, for your fans, or something.
It was some silly old-school internet honor system kind of thing, I guess.
It's dumb.

It really seems more like you have a really really really naive and childish understanding of the world. It has nothing to do with "old-school internet honor" either, nigger are you forgetting moot shilled this shithole's ads out to literally ANYONE who would buy? We had hentai and dildo and fleshlight ads from j-list for more than a decade.
That "honor" never existed, you were probably just too young or unaware enough to notice it. It's more direct now, absolutely, but that's because of laws dictating that they now have to state outright they're taking those sponsorships.
Let me give a good example. Pewdiepie, "making all those games" for mobile? Those were sponsorships. He was getting an enormous deal for shilling that shit, and it's not an "ad" when he made entire videos playing them, because there wasn't a legal stipulation to do so.
My point is people have been shilling and clickbaiting and all this shit forever. You're just seeing it now because you're not a kid anymore.

>>737507560
But pic related shows that there was a perception that making money from youtube is e-begging. Unless you got money straight from youtube for your views and for ads at the start of the video. And it all changed and got normalized probably because youtube gets a cut and companies realized that the parasocial angle is a powerful marketing tool

not sure what image you meant to post, but no, it's because youtube started jewing more and more money from adsense. Gaming went from THE most profitable to the LEAST profitable in a span of about 5 years from 2012-2017, before even the "adpocalypse" people like to talk about.
I was getting about $1/1k views, and pulling 300k views per video, twice a week, 8 minutes long for ads. I had them lined up for weeks in advance. My money started lowering, for no actual reason, and youtube kept saying "idunno it's not us must be your content" despite my watch times being the same, CTR being the same (or even better), and more.It was a deliberate decision by youtube to lower how much they paid out, because they knew they didn't NEED to continue paying out. To this day, the ONLY category that gets the full rate of payout is financial video content. If you make finance content you can still get $1/1k views or even better. EVERYTHING else is varying flavors of worse.

So, sponsorships are the only way to make the SAME amount of money you used to. Your videos went from needing to be 8 minutes, to 10, to 13 for minimum ad credit (which also means you have to shove in more ads to your content to get the same payment). The algorithm that youtube manually adjusts also prefers specific content. Some months they want longform stuff, others they want TV episode sized, some they want in between, some they even want shorts, and they will crater your channel into the dirt and not recommend it at all if you don't keep up. There are dozens of youtube aligned discords where partners discuss what the algorithm favors, but it's not hard to find elsewhere either. You'll see it based on what they recommend, lmao.

tl;dr People want their money. They will do what they need to make their money. Selling out is not selling out, it's trying to make the same fucking money they WERE making before.
besides merch, merch is selling out still.

It's not super obscure information, it's just that people don't ever want to talk about the actual problems, they just see the shit people do to make the same money they were and call it selling out.
If you've ever wondered why thirty of the top like 50 youtubers all quit from 2015-2018 it's because of the adsense shit. Many of them made their bag and didn't see a reason to keep going, the gravy train was over. Some continued to go on and that's why they had raid ads every episode. Raid was paying people with 200-300k subscribers $2k per posted video, with HUGE bonuses based on how many people installed, and in that subset of installs, how many people paid for a package (even the 99 cent one). I don't have the email anymore but it was something like 100 people installing was an extra $50, 500 installing was an extra $300, and if you hit 500 paid purchases you got an extra like $400, so people who had millions of viewers were getting MONEY.

But, others still would just quit entirely. All those dead channels (a lot of which were later sold for 5 figures) are a graveyard of youtube's incompetence.

Also if you ever wondered how the tate brothers got their money, all that shit talking about escaping the matrix and how to financially grow by joining their ponzi scheme? financial content under youtube's labeling system. They made millions of dollars every month at their peak. Markiplier and jacksepticeye and jacksfilms all pivoted to variety which has a moderate rate of pay, that's why they barely do gaming content, it's usually gaming-adjacent so they can keep their label.
Youtube's history as a creator is fucking fascinating. Shitty, but fascinating.
