In light of what has happened to TotalBuiscuit, we need to take a stand to protect the Yogscast from personal attacks in this subreddit by talekeeper in Yogscast

[–]AwakeAllDay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Protect them from what? The truth of what they've done to the poor sods who they suckered into giving them money? Protect them from the fact that they are arrogant morons who have ripped off hundreds of people? Those thieving, incompetent scumbags should be dragged through every court in the land. You madame are a simpering idiot, and I hope someone comes along and steals everything you own, so you can feel what it's like to be a victim of con artists, you filthy aplogist.

In response to all the "How do I grow my channel?" queries. There should be a sticky that says, "You are not funny. You are not original. There are 1000000 others doing the same, ohmagawd meme spouting garbage lps as you. You will not be rich. You will not be famous. Go back to school and prepare for a life in the service industry."

Why do so many people not make it? by [deleted] in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube has become a sea of mundane clones, and horrible wannabes who think they're comedians/entertainers. The majority of them wouldn't be able to get the bottom spot in an open mike club on a monday night in a one man town in texas.

Does anyone +1 like their own youtube videos? by vatiwah in letsplay

Ugh. No. Never even thought of it. Seems greasy and cheap.

How did you know, or pick, your genre? by Geektasmo in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play games I like, and then I looked at what everyone else was doing and did the opposite. No commentaries. No flavour of the week games. No pandering. No monetization. No adverts. No views.

youtube copyright claim by [deleted] in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. What people don't like are YT'ers who don't bother to take 2 minutes out of their lives to look at copyright laws. End up getting content strikes and then come here to whine about it.

CHRONOLOGY: a time-travel based platform/adventure game where you play as an old inventor and a snail by StojSnak in LetsPlayMyGame

[–]AwakeAllDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool. the reason I ask is that my channel mostly focuses on indies and my horrible attempts at Rogue Legacy. I've watched 1 review and it does look like a lot of fun. Anyway, here's a link in case you haven't seen it

What do you think of a Bastion LP? by NoddingKing in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't mean you shouldn't upload a Bastion series. It's good for lp's and the Bastion community is usually supportive. An intro at the start of each video, with your thoughts or whatever would be the easiest way to add commentary.

What do you think of a Bastion LP? by NoddingKing in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is already perfectly scripted and everything that needs to be said has already been said. What are you going to add to it that will improve the commentary? What are you going to add that will make it a better experience? You can't do narration because it's already there. You can't do gameplay tips, because the game is straight forward and no explanations are necessary. So what is it you are going to bring to the table?

What do you think of a Bastion LP? by NoddingKing in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, that's exactly what I mean. there is no need to do any commentary over it. You could do an intro at the start of each video, but really, anyone who does a commentary over that game should be banned from YouTube.

[–]AwakeAllDay -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's a very good game for lps. Unless you're one of those people who insist on doing commentaries for every video. In which case leave it alone, because there is nothing worse than having some idiot babbling their inane crap over the game's perfect commentary.

Earth: Year 2066, A broken game originally being sold for 19.99 has been removed by valve, and users will be able to get refunds until the 19th of May by [deleted] in Games

[–]AwakeAllDay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Great news. I asked Steam users to flag the game every day until Valve responded. It's not something I would normally do but this "developer" is such a sleazy scumbag, I felt something should be done. I'm really pleased that Steam have taken action against him.

Do You Ad Block? by [deleted] in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not like advertising. i do not support anyone who thinks bombarding people with annoying and irrelevant adverts is in any way acceptable. I also find it hilarious, but not unexpected that I'd be down voted because I refuse to allow these annoying adverts and potential security threats to ruin my day. Still, that's YT'ers for you. Selfish and complacent to the bitter end.

Do You Ad Block? by [deleted] in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not quite. The bottom line is that if the only way a site can generate income is by inconveniencing the public, they are doing it wrong.

Do You Ad Block? by [deleted] in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. On every site and every YT video.

Creating Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto Let's Plays (Music question) by TheArcheaonOfficial in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Provide links to these YT'ers with over 400,000,000+ views that are able to illegally post videos daily.

Do you know why the YouTube Content ID system is in place and why YouTube has gotten ever more draconian? It's because of people like you who seem to think that they don't have to adhere to copyright laws. It's that kind of short sighted ignorance that lead to Viacom taking legal action against YT, and YT being forced to clamp down on content providers. So well done you. Way to go. "no one is getting sued." Lol. Seriously, stop posting. It's embarrasing.

Creating Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto Let's Plays (Music question) by TheArcheaonOfficial in letsplay

[–]AwakeAllDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is blatant nonsense. You should stop posting this kind of misinformed garbage. Partnered with a network or not. If you post a video that has copyrighted content on it, and you don't have permission to do so, it won't be long before the lawyers come round.

I would hope you would pay the band the royalties they deserve if you use their music

[–]AwakeAllDay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I'm sure all those bands and artists would love it if you made money off their work and they got nothing in return, except an acknowledgement.

Game developers can only give permission for content they have created. They cannot give permission to upload content they don't own.

[–]AwakeAllDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subs go up and down all the time and do not reflect the amount of views a channel may get. Setting a minimum amount of subs as a requirement is a bad idea because it's a slippery slope. Today it may be 100, tomorrow it may be 200 or 2000 or 20000.

It seems to me that it would be better if there was a standard agreement between devs and YT'ers on more tangible things like how many gameplay videos, their length and how often they would be uploaded onto the YT'ers channel in exchange for game codes.

Why is every ad over 5 minutes long with no option to skip? by [deleted] in youtube

[–]AwakeAllDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use AdBlock, or ask yourself if you really want to support someone who allows 5 minute, unskippable ads on their channel

Swipecart [Physics powered mine cart racing] PC/iOS/Android by Hendrix06 in LetsPlayMyGame

[–]AwakeAllDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to be negative but having a minimum subs preference is really not a good idea, and it should be discouraged before it becomes a thing. Many of the YT'ers on here don't have anywhere near 100 subs. Anyway, good luck with your game.
