I sort of wonder about the thumbnails that show the facecammer somehow in the game, like this one: I like to imagine them late at night, hunched over a stolen copy of Photoshop, crying into their Cheetos as they slowly adjust the layer mask, trying to get Mario's 3D sideburns aligned perfectly on their face.

Keep mind that it's all automatic. The other YouTube guy does not know this is happening. If you shoot them an email/YouTube PM, they're usually quite apologetic and will remove the claim.

CafePress is a website where any idiot can upload a .png file and they automatically put it on a bunch of products like T-Shirts, thongs, and mugs. It's not like he called up a bunch of thong manufacturers to make this. Did you know that I'M A BELIEBER and RESISTANCE IS FUTILE?

They're a sketch comedy channel that got popular when they uploaded a video of somebody puking into a toilet and they remixed it into a song.

Content publishers often feel that they have the rights to any derivatives of their work, no matter how transformative. They wouldn't feel comfortable with a 50/50 deal. There was a case a while ago where there was a wedding video that went viral, and some barely-comprehensible song was playing in the background because somebody had the radio on. EMI forced YouTube to send all monetization their way, and YouTube complied. EMI tried to argue in in court that their wedding video was not a fair use license, and hinged on the exact song used. They lost. (I might have gotten the details wrong here, this was back in 2008 or so) Your solution still doesn't solve the "this content isn't actually in the video" claim. Even if it's still a portion of the revenue, that doesn't make me feel any better that the money is going to some unnamed yahoo who signed up with Google first instead of the actual work's creator.

It's not an excuse for his behavior, but if most of his income goes to charity, it means he isn't trying to crank out videos for money. Maybe for views/popularity, though.

Let's Play is tons of fun to discuss, and I'm open to discussing it. There's a big difference between fun discussion and angry nerds arguing about dumb things though. and let's stop this extremely unintentionally hilarious meta-argument and re-route back to discussing about LP. I have a question. I've seen of tons of random YouTube accounts "announce" that they're going to do an LP. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCm-kchsz4c Usually it's them talking on webcam. I haven't watched any of them all the way through. My question: what the hell are they trying to achieve here?

I wonder what would happen if you put out a "we need to talk" video sternly telling people it's unacceptable, we don't condone it, and if you ever see death threats, report them to you, because it's incredibly childish, etc. I think it might get the point across. ... but it's also the internet, so it's a scary proposition.

I feel like that's a bit too soft. It's completely unacceptable that people are sending death threats. That's got to stop now. And if you don't stop it, it won't stop.

I'd love to say that the connection in my mind from "retsupurae" to "lovely bootleg LPs" isn't racist, but goddamn it is. So I'm sorry for being a giant piece of racist garbage.

ChaosArgate posted:I don't know a thing about how Reddit works; can you get banned/probated if you break rules there? The only site-wide rule is that you can't helldump anyone. Subredditors set the tone for each subreddit, and they can ban people there. But it's considered a giant piece of drama when you ban somebody, so not a lot of subreddits do it. Some subreddits, like /r/AskScience, try to enforce a specific tone and are a lot more strict, and will actively ban anybody for posting memes / jokes / whatever. The quality in a place like /r/AskScience is a lot higher than /r/letsplay.

Aurain posted:My favourite thing in this vein are the people who brag about donating to charity because it's tax deductible as if it's some huge selfless act, that just so happens to benefit yourself massively. The purpose of making it tax-deductible is an incentive to get people to contribute to charities. It's more money going to charities than would go otherwise. Though not all charities are great and use money responsibly, as I have learned the hard way...

Just curious here, how much of his revenue does he give to charity? If it's around 60% then you could validly say he's not really LPing for money, since he takes what he needs to be sustainable, and passes the rest on.

I know I never remember to actually like videos I like on youtube, unless I'm favoriting them too. In 2011 when YouTube was transitioning from "video upload place" to "replacement for TV" and they started their partner system, their award shows, they sent out emails to big partners saying "here's some cool tips to increase engagement: at the end of every video, ask your viewers to rate the video 5 stars and click the subscribe button if they liked it"

Yeah, YouTube became profitable by going from a video upload site to a replacement for TV. They pushed hard signing content deals, building a partner system, etc. YouTube also has a huge content team in-house; they have four different internal production crews in New York, Chicago, Santa Ana, and San Francisco, around 100 people each. It's a big enterprise.

In the case of Maker, it's about resources and promotion. Have a good idea for a fancy video but don't have the means to do it in-house? Maker has production staff as well, and if you're a successful partner, they'll fly you out on their dime to make something incredible. Also, I was phone posting before and had to go from memory. Turns out the YouTube production crews are in NY, LA, Tokyo and London. Seriously, though, look at this: quote:Formerly the Howard Hughes Airport, YouTube Space LA is located in the Playa Vista area of Los Angeles and covers nearly 41,000 square feet. YouTube Space LA contains large production stages, green screens, cameras, lights, sound gear, electrical and grip equipment. We also offer post-production resources ranging from private editing suites to voice-over recording booths. It’s all available at no charge if your channel has at least 10,000 subscribers. Slowbeef, next time you're in LA, you should schedule to go see the studios and perhaps make something there. They're quite impressive. I'm not partnered with Fullscreen / Machinima myself, so I don't know, but based on comments, it mostly seems to be about having more access to special features at YouTube. Making sure that copyright stuff is handled appropriately, that ads are scheduled in place, etc. Suspicious Dish fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Apr 3, 2014 |
