What's with this new breed of gamer that feels like they should be paid to game online?

BrokenGamez is a square anyways. Every time i see a vid of his I now I'm in for a good laugh.

All these Youtube cats are running around opening up these Patreon accounts. I'm guessing because either the ad revenue is drying up. The Partnering Networks aren't paying like they used to or whatever.

Like this guy BrokengamezHD he opens one

It flops hard and virtually none of his 100,000+ subs will give him monthly payments to play and talk about games on Youtube and Twitch.

He then turns around here and tears his fanbase a new a$$hole here.


Are these guys crazy. I buy games, own every current system, and never would I expect people to pay me money to play the games I'm already gonna play cause it's my hobby. I don't understand the level of entitlement. When I was a kid we bought and played Playstation and N64 and that was enough. Nobody expected to be paid to do basic stuff they were gonna do anyway.

Mufukkaz nowadays are entitled as shyt now. Tell them Boo Hoo nikkaz to get a job and shut the fukk up.

Sounds like jealousy.

monetize everything you can

 

[GoldenGlove]

Hmm, I mess with BGz videos



I didn't watch that 20 minute long one though, but I did find it funny that he put out a survey for his users to do and then after he got feedback he makes that Patreon account claiming that in order to provide the content that was suggested from the survey he'll need money for it.

I made a thread a while back asking why gamers pay other gamers to play video games, this thread reminded me of that discussion.

I'm not even familiar with dudes content like that so I didn't know he trolls his subs. You can't antagonize your audience and expect them to support you in return, that's just basic business practices. Those other YouTubers/Streamers he refers to throughout the video general respect their audiences, and interact with them in a manner. That's why when they ask for a like, or ask for a donation, they receive them.

I don't know. It just feels like dude needs to grow up and learn that YouTube isn't a money making hobby unless you invest years upon years into it. And even with all that, chances are you still won't be making much money. He needs to treat the fanbase that he has now better and stop worrying what else everyone says too.

A lot of the super popular Youtubers get GAF exposure. People like Boggie2988 and Jim Sterling are GAF darlings and every time they post a video somebody on GAF makes a thread about it. Getting approval from a big forum like that can make a Youtuber successful very fast.

But there's a major difference between BrokenGamez & Blackb0nd compared to Boogie & Jim Sterling.

They hail from the "other side"

his next follow up video:



this dude is so arrogant he really thinks all his opinions are the "truth"

 

[NatiboyB]

look if you consume content and like a product either pay or click like..

I borderline can't stand when I see a poster on here with 10000 post who hasn't donated.

I support the media that I like.

He won't name one channel where he observes these "truths" on.

He's not the only one who has said the Xbox one sucks

He's not the only one who has said the Wii U hasn't sold.

the only truths he has is being a dikk to his audience like now and expecting things in return

I'm not paying someone to play games and have an opinion about them on YouTube or discuss them online.

Hell all of us are gamers here. We all play games and have opinions on them. Doesn't mean we should get paid for it. Also I'm not paying for services online that force paid members to view ads. The only exception is Hulu and I subscribe to that service so my parents can use it. I get them Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix and I myself hardly ever use them.

YouTube content creators have partner networks and adsense. In other words there's already a business model there for them to make money without my "support." Brokengamez has full screen as a partner and they pay him to make videos. Many of these guys like DarkSydePhil wanna double dip and get paid for ads but at the same time set up donation accounts had have their viewers pay them too.

That's cool...I can't knock that but if if I was I to watching people game and talk about it than I wouldnt have an issue with paying for it if it was behind a pay wall.
