YouTube

The gaming section on YouTube is so saturated, you really need something different, look at ksiolajidebt, the rather fast black man had seen a gap, there weren't any black people posting gaming videos taking the mick out of his own race and other races.
I personally don't like the idea of posting videos of myself online for everyone to see.

I'm not putting my face in them, wouldn't really like that, but voice overs are OK.
I agree. There was a time when gaming videos were very much a minority. There were quite a few Let's Players and gameplay commenters out there with a few thousand subs if they were lucky but none of what you really see these days. Then CoD 4 came along which was when the CoDtube wheel started rolling and then hit it's peak around the time MW2 came out. The popular CoD player then started playing Minecraft and that's when the flood on Minecraft videos came in. The same thing is currently happening with Day Z.
Oh, and I wish there was one less iJustine in this world
.Then you won't make much money.
Unfortunately to make money these days online you really have to sell yourself, unless you have a business or a website.
Why would I want to watch your gaming videos when there are plenty out there, I never used to be into these gaming videos and I'm still not into them. It's just Ksi that has made it entertaining for me.
Anyway good luck with it.
Incorrect Sir. That was the point of my message, that they have changed what being a partner is - if you're monetised you're technically a partner, but not all partners get custom banners etc. I'd find the emails from youtube partner support if I could be bothered.
Hate seeing his name every time I go to top videos or whatever it's called... Seems like half of youtube is just minecraft videos -.-
Indeed.
If you look at anyone who has a popular channel for games, you will see they present themselves and talk to camera. Their personality and interaction is what will make people actually want to watch a video where it is just them doing a voice over.
A channel of somebody just doing a voice over offers little interaction and is boring, so unlikely to gain you many regular viewers over somebody established, especially when as this thread demonstrates, many people are now trying to do it.
That Syndicate lads a right gimp, don't get how he can be so popular... I just find him annoying

Hey man, you want to get a lot of hits and create a "brand" for yourself.
For example this guy, has only just been able to reduce his hours at work to spend more time on videos and he has 9m views and 80k subs.

Hmm, wrong thread.
Are we kissing in this thread or not?

I think money has ruined youtube, at least if you go to see what's popular, when it was first around you would see mostly what naturally got to the top and was popular that day/week but since then people started gaining massive amounts of subscribers and then were able to profit off of it, this caused a lot of spam to appear from large channels and youtube celebrity trash ruining the quality and newness of the main page, very little interesting appears there now.

Trying to make big money from Youtube videos is already fail. You'll be lucky if you make a few quid. You either need to part of the 0.01% who genuinely become popular for whatever reason or have some contract deal to allow you to use others content.
I do agree that some who do make loads make you think as to why but then that's like everything in life. The group Machinima make me wonder though. They just seem to take other videos and then slap their logos all over it.

Very true.
