Either way, I'd enjoy reading an A/T thread about that whole system - it's fascinating how much money there is flying around something that's still being made up as it goes.

Same.

It's just so...bizarre. Like, I get it, but I don't get it. Getting a peek under the hood would be super neat.

Also when that bubble pops, it's gonna pop hard. We'll be subjected to a litany of darksydephils crying into cameras at their grandmothers' kitchen tables about how Youtube totally hosed them and how it wasn't their fault for putting all their eggs into a basket that very clearly was going to disappear suddenly one day.

The hell would you put on your resume, or say in an interview? "Online content producer?"

"Oh, so you're one of those kids that thought they'd be like pewdiepie, huh? What kind of content did you create?"

"I made garbage videos in an attempt to trick kids into clicking on them, and to send to click farms to earn ad revenue I wasn't entitled to."

*visibly feeds resume to shredder*

"We'll be in touch if we need your services."

Also, as noted by another poster, the tax consequences are severe, and the people producing these won't realize it until they file their first return. They're definitely self-employed (or "independent contractors"), so by default, no withholding comes out of their checks. So they'll march down to the tax preparer with their 1099-MISCs in hand, grinning at how much money they made that year, not realizing that anywhere from 25 to 50 percent of that income should've been held back for (or sent quarterly to) the IRS. :downs:

I'll probably never stop being :allears: hearing about the absolute con job that is youtube's funmoney revenue industry, and how everyone in advertising assures me it definitely makes sense, and then proceeds to explain it in terms that only cement for me that every single level of it, on either side of the money exchange, is literally making everything up as they go along. Even more so I love when the holes in the web of lies get big enough they can't be ignored and everyone acts like it's some new, shocking twist, and not a flaw that was clearly visible from day one.

It's kind of already happening ever since that pewdiepie thing where people called him out on being a nazi and advertisers backed out. Advertisers have been backing out on more than a few youtubers and for a while everyone was making videos about how "this is the death of youtube!" and how it was "SJW Censorship Gone Mad!" and that the wallstreet journal had somehow unfairly ruined pewdiepie's livelihood? Now other youtube funnymen are willingly opening their mouths to rant about how racism doesn't exist and brown people are just naturally inferior, but it's still just completely unfair for advertisers and other sponsors to politicize their deals by cutting ties with them over that!

Most of the views from channels like these are about 1:1:8 young children-curious adults- bot farms set up to click the video a hundred thousand times each. All for those sweet sweet youtube bucks for high view counts.

At least, that is my hypothesis. There are plenty of other theories floating around but it's a classic case of justice is blind.

Everything about how youtube's money works is such a ridiculous shell game, only it's now to the point where you can't tell which side of the table the conman is standing on, they just keep moving the shells, going back and forth over imaginary money.
