Patreon shit

So the site got an update of its interface, making it easier to see individual "creations." Considering the shit-to-quality ratio on the site, I figured this would be a perfect place to begin a new thread.

I'll start.

A video review...that made nearly $400.......................

I can see why some reviewers from TGWTG.com have gone there...fucking easy money. To be fair to them though...at least they have SOME production values....but still it hurts my soul.

So let me get this fucking straight. If I decided to review some shit that had already been reviewed, and all the fucking jokes had been used by everyone already, I could make $400 a week?

http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=515041 HOLY FUCKING SHIT, 2,500 PER FUCKING MONTH JUST TO PLAY FUCKING VIDEOGAMES.

This makes me want to vomit all my organs......

What's sad about all this...people are actually paying for this....

Lazy fuckers. No seriously, they all saw Pewdiepie and TGWTG crew and thought..."well gosh darn I can do that too!" and now this damn Patreton is making it possible for them to SET THEIR OWN DAMN PRICES.

12 people saw that damn video and he got $2,500 for it.......

Fuck that's more than some people make in a month, doing honest work.

And all he fucking did was do voices and comment on what we could fucking see on the screen. How does the controls feel? Any of that.. nope..

This site is a horrible idea because it'll just get taken over by teenagers and fetish artists. I can see how it'd be beneficial to freelance artists that are professionally doing their career, but this is just going down the DA route.

It's a damn 'get rich quick' scam...it has to be.

I'm sure Patreton is giving them the majority of the money for now...soon they'll take more than half and probably own the video, art, etc...

That LGR guy is actually somewhat popular on YouTube (and decent). I don't get it. Why the fuck does he need Patreon's sperm covered gold? Doesn't he make money from the ads? His videos range from 60.000 to 15.000 views!

That depends. If he signed up for like Mashinima, they get the majority of the profit of the videos and the maker sees about 1/3 of that profit and they technically own that particular video.

Pewdiepie, as far as I know, hasn't signed up with a second party so he sees most of the money he earns from Youtube, but Youtube still gets a portion of it. He also has the viewer-base to live off of his video money...if he had less viewers and hits then his income goes down....and it eventually will.

TGWTG has so far been very lucky to sill be around for as long as it has been, but a lot of their viewers are...well moving on or only watch certain videos by certain people and some of their biggest ones are building their own websites to get ALL of the profit, not just some of it.

Eventually...it will go down as well.

Wow! Another channel devoted to teaching you pointless shit! But this one has slow mo videos, as well as random trivia! And because it's somewhat educational, it's considered science.

As far as I know, he's not partnered with Mashityma. His has 184.000 subscribers and like I said, he makes videos that gain popularity. The shit he puts out isn't high budget stuff, or anything. He's commentating about the game he's currently fucking playing! He doesn't need so much money! What he does is just a step up from 'Let's Plays'.
But wait, wait. What am I saying? Sitting on your ass and talking while playing a video game is just sooooo fucking hard and stressful! As said by countless YouTubers who make videos with around the same level of "hard work" put into them.

Am I the only one who is sick of this whole "OMG SCIENCE IS SO COOL" phase?

You are a fucking retard, Destin. Use some lighting next time, you retarded gimp. Seriously, why do think your picture looks shitty as fuck? Because you are shooting at 500fps without proper lighting, so the camera has to compensate. These guys knew what they were doing, you don't.

I hear you. I watch two 'let's players' because I like how they talk and make jokes, Vash12349 and Helloween4545. I like Helloween because he's fully admitted that he doesn't care if you put a adblock on because he does it for the fun of it, while Linkara posted a bitch-fit about people using adblock (and I lost a little respect for him for that)

Helloween has a day job at a Hospital and Vash goes to school and works as well...they're not doing it as their main job like this "my back is bad so I SIT ON IT and play viddia games all day and bitch about them when I die" ....uh I forget his name but he make me mad.

So my point is, yeah you can do it if you want...but get a job ya hippie!

Those videos are so fucking shit. The jokes are dumb, and the review itself never mentions anything new. It surprises me how little this motherfucker is getting, considering how keen bronies are when it comes to throwing their money down a well.

He only has ads in stuff with no gameplay footage, which are very few videos, because some or such youtube stuff. His LP videos are garbage, but his other stuff is more entertaining. I like his videos because they often bring to the spotlight good retro games that some people have forgotten. Of course, I feel that does not justify 2,500 per month doing that.

I can't stand Youtube LPs except for Criken2's, mainly because 1) he goes to school too, and 2) his videos are actually funny, distilling the gameplay into a highlight reel of failures and abusing glitches and video game logic. No annoying commentary, just him having fun with friends, or pointing out something the programmers missed.




On another note...



Golly there are a lot of furry patrons 8(.

At least there are some people with actual cred on Patreon too. I wish I can see them more often though,

That fucking perspective in the furfag comic
It looks like she's suddenly gigantic and/or going down a waterfall

Criken is the shit.
