The Great Youtube Demonetization Apocalypse

The thing that makes me really hate youtube and the advertisers here is how uneven they are about worrying about their brand.

These advertisers have zero problem putting their ads next to violence, sex, nudity, controversial content, political stuff, etc on TV. It is only when it comes to youtube that they start going crazy and don’t want to advertise on a channel about someone destroying fake zombie heads.

I’ve clicked through on a few things, sometimes to support the person who’s channel it is, sometimes because of real interest (upcoming movie I didn’t know about).

Help Andrew Bub’s kids.

Whatever happened to ol’ Andrew Bub?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Hmm, looks like he wasn’t doing so well in 2007

I can’t even find his migrated account here though. Looks like he got super-nuked before the migration, all his posts are merged in with anonymous_user which is… not a fun account to look at.

Site is still alive, remarkably: http://www.gamerdad.com/blog/

He posted on Facebook yesterday, so he’s alive and well.

I don’t know him personally, I just looked him up with my 31337 internet detective skills.

… OK, I used Google.

Ok, I did not realize that. If most content creators can continue to monetize despite this, is it really going to be that big of a change?

Stands to reason that there’s a long tail of many, many, people with less than 1000 subscribers who are getting dumped next month. Tons of pissed-off people, even though each one was only mildly impacted if they had <1k subs in the first place.

Dude, turn off ads and go Patreon. Way, way less stress. ;)

Yeah do you need any yo-yos @Jason_McMaster? I got yo-yos for days, man. Weeks. Months. OK FINE YEARS

I’ll never have a Facebook account so I wouldn’t know.

What does he actually do for money, since I can’t find him on the Gamer Dad site at all?

Beats me, I’m not going to intensively stalk him, he isn’t a hot chick with potential swimsuit instagram pics. Umm, I mean, that would be an invasion of his privacy.

I don’t use Facebook either, I have a dummy account because many apps require it to login.

BUT HIS CHILDREN @STUSSER THINK OF HIS CHILDREN

That makes it even creepier, bro.

I’m sorry you no longer care if Andrew S. Bub’s children are starving.

So his children are only sexy to you if they’re anorexic Instagram bikini models, Jeff? Jesus you’re twisted!

I like to imagine Bub’s children grew up to be 18 and immediately started playing the most violent, sadistic, sick and twisted video games out there.

GAMER DAD!!!

Should we be super pleased? Sorry it’s a bit irritating to me. On top of the fact that I can’t hit the 100 mark that I’m almost at to get actually paid out.

No, not at all. You’re right to be annoyed.
