Im just going to say it like it is. It used to be making videos on youtube back when it first came out and few years after, was about sharing your life, your interest and hobbies. Example sued to be making an AMV was about the fandom, just like with making video game music remixes. But now people want to be "camera/video online wh%^&*" More about the money and the views then it is about the people. Most people sayign it because its true either are to stupid or don't care enough one way or another, because its free and mostly cheap entertainment. Example do you really think people should get paid by ads, views for doing what 20,000 other plus people can do. Look at me I can play cod or pokemon, yeah so can you and everyone else. Theres a million other videos just like it. Like I think to myself, so its ok to make money off playing video games, yet say few years or so ago, you couldn't even post a video of gaming without getting it flag, or something. This isn't my opinion these are facts! If it didnt happen to you or someone you know, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Thats like saying all because you never see a a tree fall in the forest, that it never happens or only happens once awhile. It actually happens all the time somewhere. In reality in my opinion I never thought people should be allowed to make money off the stuff that should be for fandom. No offense but giving out tips to play video games, why bother when you can google it and find it. If you into watching people play video games cool. But do I think they should get ad revenue for doing it. No, no I don't. No for the record I'm not jelous. Most of the time people make money off someone elses hard work. ok if you make a video of something thats well thought out, time was taken to make it, not something a million other people are already doing, but hey people get amd when people like me say this. Why because it takes more effort to make your own stuff, but hey on the internet, its like this why make your own thingwhen you can just do what the other people do.Originality is rare in todays world. Look on tv, how many shows are same thing, ghost shows, shows about pawn shops. Internet no different, with the rare exception of internet memes. That aside mostly just people doing the same thing anyone else can do. Look at me I can record myself playing vide ganes ain't I call. >.> Sound almost like those people that say I go to hot topic and pay full priace at the mall for my stuff look how cool I am. >.> For the record I like hot topic, but what I say is still true. People on youtube sicken me. Youtube sadly isnt the only site thatdoes those, photo sites, are all like that. I rather use these sites to watch videos. I dont think most of them deserve money in making 1000+ random videos of them doing stuff anyone else can do. Hey if you think I'm wrong in what Im saying or how Im saying it, you might be right half right, but it doesn't change the facts that they are true, only say what most people think. That people abuse the whole reason for making videos, which it and should be like art to be creative. Like deviant art. I like that site, but I find what people want for there stuff in prices is a joke itself. A real artist wouldn't just use a website, and charge crazy prices for stuff that most people wouldn't get/charge a dollar for. But hey that part my opinion. Truth be told. Its better to just be a fan. If you ask me, there are to many people into doing this stuff, which means odds are unless you got something better than the other 20,000+ people doing it, it can be hit or miss. But maybe people will wise up in a few years and youtube will limit who can use ads, etc to get for there videos. Most of the time lot of the videos suck, and its stuff almost anyone with simple computer skills, editing, and someone with the right equipment can do. Not rocket science. But hey I seen enough videos, even made videos, the difference is I make/made stuff for fun and fandom, not for money, example AMVs should be for fandom not to make money. If people were creative, they be thinking of doing something thats unique and different. But most people on youtube to lazy to do that, but hey whatever. I think the whoel thing is stupid, not for a lack of understanding of being jelous. I just feel somethings like example home videos or gaming should be for fandom. Hey your in a band wanting to make yourself known yea thats ideal for makine ad stuff on. But I feel like Im ranting, so ill just leave it as that, if you dont understand where im coming from, dont worry about it, dont sit back and be like your stupid or this is stupid. Its not, I feel certain things and people should get money, otherwise its like saying if I make a doodle of something random I should get money for it, just because lot of people see it. Sorry but I think thats stupid.
