What Happened To YouTube?

[2bonic]

Yeah ... YT started as video sharing platform, among friends, etc. Now everyone wants to make $$ from it. It is now so commercialized till it's all about nos of subs and nos of views per-day thing. .....



The $$ making frenzy started in early 2012 where anyone can monetize their videos. With lots of partnership available.

Oh yh my bad lool

Some people just feel too entitled to make money off their videos. And other people just wanna stay home all day and record their gaming and demand to get paid for it because they're too lazy to go out into the real world and get a real job. And it also seems to be a close tight-knit group. Unless you make yet another Minecraft video or COD video, you won't get a huge amount of subs, fans or make any money.
Just do it for fun. Don't turn it into an obsession. Do it for the fun of it. If it's one thing I learned from making my own show, yeah we might not have many views and maybe a handful of fans, but boy, do we ever have fun cracking up when we get together to film an episode.... and go for pizza afterwards. lol

EXACTLY! I make videos because I have fun doing it. I don't make any video to try to bring in views/subs. I make videos because I have so much fun making them. I mean yeah, if my videos get a lot of views/subs that would be awesome. But at the end of the day, it's not about views/subs. Its all about having fun.
