From the article about cards:



Stuff cards cannot do that annotations can:



Youtube once again removes a feature for no reason, says they will integrate it into the new thing replacing it, and then don't do half of the work and call it done. gee what a surprise

I am curious how youtube is going to treat LP's and let's players now that they are losing funding due to the huge influx of Alt-Right weirdoes and straight up Nazi's.

They'll come back. The difference between them coming and going though is that they will publicly announce when they go.

He certainly can be one of the less offensive "no inside voice" youtube stars. Plus he's a really nice person who is grateful for his fanbase and respects them and also isn't a fuckin neo-nazi.

This doesn't have much to do with LPs but this seems to've been the Post Youtube poo poo Here thread for a long time now so:



Youtube continues to poke the beehive by randomly demonetizing dozens of videos from many high-ranking/performing youtubers

Another new youtube change: You can no longer turn on monetization on your channel until it has 10,000 lifetime views. Naturally, they can still put ads on your videos and collect revenue from them even if you can't. Weird change.

That article seems to say that ads won't run at all on channels until they hit the 10k mark, which seems reasonable enough.

Depends on how you interpret this line:

quote:

Starting today, we will no longer serve ads on YPP videos until the channel reaches 10k lifetime views.

Which could mean either way, really. It's slightly less scummy if that's the case, at least.

For the record, it took me a year almost to the day as a small channel to make $100 in ad revenue (at which point I just turned monetization off because gently caress that), took... about 175,000 views? Either way, it was an amount most small channels do not reach. It's already very stacked against channels who are just starting out which is a bummer whether it helps defeat the fraud or not.

For those that don't want to watch (and who can blame you): Youtube's recent policy changes now require you to have a Google Adsense account to run ads and monetize your videos. Because he was partnered until just recently, this was not a problem for him because he was managed by them and did not need to do this. However, now that he's on his own he has to have a Google Adsense account for all of his stuff. Phil has two gaming channels, but you can only have one Adsense account tied to your name. The way to resolve this is to link both channels to your single Adsense account instead of applying for different Adsense accounts for both... but for some reason he seems to not understand that he can do this.

This is absolutely, positively, one hundred percent true. You're going to get people hating on you and giving you heat no matter what you do. It'd be great if that negativity didn't exist but it does and if you're out there pushing yourself you're the one who's gonna suck it up. At the end of the day though it's on you to give haters power and ammo, and jumping around like a fool the way DSP does gives them both in spades. I think one of my older collaborators summed it up best, though: "You might say to me that it's unforgivably bullshit that I have to deal with people gnawing at my rear end for posting videos. I'll tell you that it's unforgivably bullshit that you have to roll out of bed at 7 or 8 am just because some jerk at the office says you have to. We can both agree both things are unforgivably bullshit, I just choose to put up with a different one than you."

The way to take power and ammo away from the haters is to disable comments on your videos and he did that so.

discworld is all I read posted:

The best way to take away the hater's power is to not post things for public consumption. The haters will still exist, they'll still take videos and make "best of DSP masturbating before stream" comps, and all announcing that he's disabling comments is doing is telling trolls that they're winning and that they just need to try a different avenue now.

But what's important to Phil is that they won't be able to post it on his own Youtube channel anymore, his home turf or whatever, and I don't blame him for wanting to cut that off.

Phil's reaction to video games in his video is akin to a parent watching his child put the round peg through the round hole. He very much does not care about the round peg successfully going through the round hole in the same way he cares about anything else in this world, he's mostly just going "WOOOOOW" to make the child laugh and clap because they did something good.

I don't really have much to continue the discussion with but I just want to bring some of my confusion over to here.

I was watching something and a Game Grumps video came up in the recommended side for some reason. Thing was is that it was like part 68 of Paper Mario TTYD. And they were still only like halfway through chapter 4. They spend like three minutes struggling to figure out how to beat a Buzzy Beetle. They tried hammer and after that didn't work, they were pretty much stumbling blind. You have two attacks, hammer and jump, it shouldn't be this difficult a puzzle! :psyduck:

Yes, they are astoundingly bad at Paper Mario. It's one of their worst LPs if you actually like watching the video game.

Yes. Dan is thankfully the voice of reason and tells Arin to actually read the text on the screen saying how to play, but sometimes he just doesn't listen because fuckin why not man it's not like they're putting on a show or something

Most (I'd say 'all' but, well, Twitch) of the xGasm emotes are just a crop of someone making a goofy expression, and not someone actually orgasming, so therein probably lies the difference.
