There wasn't much appeal other than "actor from the game playing the game". It's possible she has some interesting things to say when her character shows up but I'd wait for someone to just post links to the highlights or make a highlights video, she is not the most engaging LPer. Sounds about right for someone playing a mute character who never got even like, a PDA or pager or a notepad and pencil or something to communicate with people. Shame about the chat inevitably being poo poo. CJacobs posted:She's not really doing a let's play of the game so much as she is just playing the game like anybody would, but live.

If you're looking to chill out and watch someone just playing the game as they normally would and/or like Stefanie Joosten, go for it. It's as entertaining as any bog-standard MGS 5 gameplay is, really.

Here's something kind of different - Ross Scott, of Freeman's Mind fame, tries his hand at something he describes as sort of like a Let's Play, but with all the dead air edited out. What this essentially comes down to is that he took a pretty lovely game, got together with Heisanevilgenius, of Weird Video Games fame, recorded a full playthrough with commentary, then abridged the gently caress out of it to cut it down to what he considered to be interesting to see. It's a kind of interesting concept, and I'm a fan of Heisanevilgenius, so that's a plus, but overall, the reaction has been very negative. There's a poll going on on Ross's website asking whether he should continue this, and it's currently 423 votes for "no" versus 237 for "yes". By the way, if you're not a fan of facecams, best stay away. Faces visible aplenty here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kybGu9_8acU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya5RIKJ3N8g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_2amP8lNJc I dunno, I liked it, but apparently, I'm in the minority there. Oh well.

The thing is, Ross already has two "sorta like an LP series" Freeman's Mind (which is done, but could move onto HL2) which is just a narrative VLP which is all the better for sneakily using cheats to edit out boring bits. And Ross' Game Dungeons which, while technically being more of a review show, usually provides a super compressed informative LP of the game as well. Hell, in his BipBop 2 one he actually got a bunch of amateur voice actors together and voice acted all the cutscenes. And it somehow made it even more entertaining! I haven't watched the new show, when I saw the thumbnail I figured it was just a stream he decided to put up and skipped the video, but if it's what you say it is it's basically just filling a niche he's already filled twice in much better ways.

So I guess YouTube is doing...something, regarding a paywall and requiring content creators to either sign on, or their videos will be automatically placed as "Private". http://recode.net/2015/09/25/youtube-is-prepping-its-subscription-launch-two-services-one-price/ From what I have read, unless you're a huge name on there this isn't going to matter much. Seems like they're just going to start charging  a month (optional) for an "Ad free Service" (wondering how long the inevitable code block for ad blocker will take), and...something about music. People are supposedly getting blast emails from YT telling them to either sign up by Oct. 22 to get in line with having their videos available for adless (YT is supposedly going to pay these people 55% of the revenue brought in from the subscriptions to the service, that watch their videos.), or face having them defaulted to private viewing only. YouTube posted:“What happens if I do not want to participate in new paid offerings?" So what they're basically saying is unless you're a big namer that they're actually willing to negotiate with, either sign up or go host your poo poo on another site if you don't like it.....bitches. Honestly I don't see a big problem here if I'm understanding this right, and it might actually reduce the sheer overload of people that upload anything and everything (good bulk of LP's included), just trying to shill some internet money. Now if they'd only start charging $10 per comment they might actually be headed in the right direction...... Anyway, how long until YT starts charging people to watch videos period? Any wagers? You know it's coming. Going to have to hope all my favorite News Bloopers videos get ported to Dailymotion. Also, here's the blast email that's been sent out to some video uploaders (Still haven't gotten one here!  my name ain't big enough!)quote:For years, YouTube’s fans have been telling us they want more — more choice when watching their favorite content, more ways to support their favorite creators and, above all, the option to watch their favorite videos uninterrupted.

The drawback would be that if you make more money in ad revenue than what your cut of the ad-free subscriptions that watch your video turns out to be, you get less money. It's hard to imagine anyone watching enough Youtube videos to generate more than ten dollars of ad revenue as it is, let alone enough people to decrease the total in the face of so many people who are contributing more with their subscription fee than they could ever generate in ads. The question is how much Google's ad revenue will decrease, because advertisers aren't going to pay nearly as much to advertise to the people who are too cheap to pay $10 a month not to watch their ads. I expect the ad payouts are going to decrease as well, which makes this deal more or less required to continue making money unless you've got a few viral videos or a subscriber base in the top hundred or so.

To play devil's advocate, they could pretty easily say "this is the new system, enjoy" without allowing any sort of 'input'. Amazon does it all the time.

I monetize my videos and didn't get an email. They probably put people on the register automatically based on their channel's analytics and whether or not both parties stand to gain anything from it. My videos for example don't earn me enough for that service to earn Youtube any money, so they didn't put me on it.

I think the reason why big names are being sent a letter about this is for copyright reasons. They've given Google the right to display their video with ads on it and give them a cut of ad revenue, but they haven't given Google the right to display their video ad-free for a subscription fee and give them a cut of subscription revenue. Google doesn't want to have a ton of videos still showing ads to people who shell out for a subscription, but can't legally assume everyone is okay with the new arrangement, and they've decided they'd rather make videos private if people who've monetized their videos don't want to agree to show them to subscribers without ads than show subscribers ads. I think it's safe to assume if you haven't gotten an email about this that either you'll get one eventually or monetization will be turned off rather than making your videos private. Or you'll just get the prompts to agree to the new contract the next time you log in after some point anyway.

So there has been some talk about youtube and their subscription service. I thought I would bring up that this kind of system already does exist. It's called Twitch Turbo and essentially works the same way youtube wants theirs to work. For simple $9.99 a month you get the ability to watch streams ad free and it pays for invisible ads which basically means that even though you don't see the ad as a turbo user, twitch will still treat it like you have. If you don't have have turbo you still get the ads. Of course channel subscriptions are a different beast and aren't covered by turbo. But it's a good model that seems to be working for them and it may be what youtube is trying to achieve. Doseku fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Sep 28, 2015 |
