SeungSora 22 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Entertaining, I've already had this debate. The quality of material on youtube is far, FAR inferior in quality and polish to what is found on broadcast or cable tv. The only strength of youtube channel content is their ability to fill the entertainment needs of niche audiences- the quality or thoughtfulness of the produced videos being unimportant.

jaehyun 1,909 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 They make money not only from video´s views. A guy in my city has around 1.200.000 subscribers in his channel and now he is in ads of Coca Cola on YT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soleria 166 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Pewdiepie made 12millon dollars last year. Are you serious?????? I need to jump onto this youtube stuff because I want to graduate college without thousands of dollars of debt. Although just a guess, it seems like a lot of the really popular ones are beauty gurus, comedians, or serious gamers, all of which I am not.

kimchi 19,921 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I don't get the hype of say pewdiepie just filming videos of him yelling and make immature jokes while playing video games, but people like linsey sterling are actually pretty talented and produce decent quality content.

He sold hotdogs and worked at a harbour( i don'tknow what he did there) to buy his equipment because his parents didn't support him. I'm glad it paid off in the end.

DeusExMachina 332 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Really? Is he losing fame? I think so. His view nowadays for each vid goes to around 4m, unless he puts clickbait titles. Some gaming channels are gaining popularity too like Jacksepticeye.But still, none can come close to his 39m subscribers. Pewds also has a more dedicated fanbase which is called Broarmy that can get him 1m views just hours after upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of gaming-related content. Personally, I'm a fan of CinemaSins, League of Supercritics, The Game Theorists/The Film Theorists, PBS Idea Channel (most of the PBS Channels have really good content), VSauce (all of them) WatchMojo, although that's mostly just to get angry and disagree with them more than anything (they're a time-killer).

LeeJay 8 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 That's just how it is. Youtube has become a big platform, and these people pull in millions of viewers (But then you learn about companies like Jump Cut Studios and how a lot of these popular vids only got good footing because of artificial views). Things like Ad revenue are becoming the big money makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
