  • Like I said before Wings' and Whiteboy makes videos in different ways to make money, difference Wings admits it

  • I love your commentaries, and the topics you pick. i wish there were more commentators in the community like you

  • this is why i only sub to people that seem to enjoy doing it to entertain the viewer not to just get views... like people who put 3 to 4 videos out a day they are usually money hungry

  • what happened at the end of the video? kinda cut off

  • Limbs, This was a great conversation and you were just starting to scratch the surface of something early in the commentary. The issue at hand is the classic juxtaposition of artistic integrity vs. 'selling out'. This dichotomy is seen in most mediums of entertainment. It is seen in the movie industry when 90% of new movies are sequels, franchises, adaptations, or remakes. All you have to do is take pride in your own integrity and work, and it might work out. Just Look at a guy like Bill Hicks.

  • It's all circumstantial. As a 16 year old with a channel, if I get partnered I'll put a small amount of ads on my channel and videos but not much because I don't need the money as such. If someone like Wings makes a video, he's trying to support a girlfriend and her son along with himself. He needs more money to live so he'll put more ads on his videos.

    This may be completely wrong but as nobody can legally talk about the amount of money they make, it's my opinion, if from the outside.

  • wings puts up so many terrible videos, makes me sick

  • Y so butthurt?

  • ADS ON YOUTUBE?! WHAT?!

    Oh.. Adblocker <3

  • 100% right.

    Nowadays you have more and more videos, just with the goal of making a simple, short and not entertaining video, just to make money off.

  • ukranian limbs why do you do all of this stuff and then all the sudden turn around and say how wrong it is, i like some of the stuff you do but some stuff just pisses me off

  • i love when harley from epic meal time says youtube monaaaaay

  • @ItsJuicyBean the game is out already?

  • You guys, Pwnstar and xcal are the only guys I honestly listen to.

  • Comment removed

  • Views will always increase, regardless if their content diminishes or not, maybe not by much but it will. That's youtube.

  • Sorry, don't want to sound stupid but, what game is this?

  • @DutchCruelty Homefront

  • @AuntsinmyPants Okay, looks like a fun game!

  • I like money.

  • this isn't to bash you. love the channel, but the two of you sound like naive idealists who wish the whole world has bunnies and rainbows. life is a business. it sucks, but thats how it is

  • @raiderrocker18 No doubt, but there is a level of reality inherent in "we have no obligation to our viewers, let's make some MONAAAY!"...and there's an even wiser outlook that says, "if we treat our viewers like retards, our ability to exist as an industry over time diminishes."

  • @AuntsinmyPants i'd agree to that, and its clearly a matter of time till this whole thing dies out anyway. i hope people like wings don't fully expect to do this until retirement. thnx for actually responding

  • Money should not be the main motivation of making Youtube videos. Taking advantage of people that love to ride dicks is not a proper way to gain a viewership, and that is what most of the big youtubers do nowadays. It's a simple equation: money produces greed in certain individuals. When it's not about the content, you forget why video sharing websites were made. If Google only rewarded 10-20% of the ad profits, I guarantee that the cream would rise to the top. good content FTW

  • Comment removed

  • If people are going to take Youtube as a serious job then they should be evaluated and should be able to be fired for putting out shitty content. Most video's now are just shit

  • great commentary

  • Woodys doing exactly this hes putting two adds in his videos now and no one even notices

  • isn't the revnue from the ads going down now though? id assume it would be because there is so much more content out there as well as there are youtube partners the demand must be alot higher so the ads should go down in price.

  • @PhychoNecrofile The value of an ad goes down if more people watch the video and less people click the ads. The lower the click per view the lower the revenue per view.

  • Chris Smoove is a beast. He is just a beast... leave it at that. He doesnt ask for money (like nixmtrix22 said) and he actually has a life and does other things.

  • I think what happens is that people start focusing on quantity and not quality. Youtube brought in partnerships, they did it so people would use the money to make even better videos and get more views, and that's what happened mostly with most youtubers. Look at people like Tobuscus and Sxephil who got better with the financial support. For some reason though, gamers did the opposite and started making a lot of crappy videos instead of better quality videos.

  • Why on earth would any commentators do this without the allure of money? Very few would.

  • I think it's shocking that a channel can produce 2-3 low quality and unoriginal videos a day and earn substantially more than someone who works their ass off 9-5 in an office. Making money off good content is great but there are so many channels that rake in heaps of money from making poor videos.

  • You would be an amazing politician :D

  • i wonder how many people would drop out if they stopped making money for it.

  • People who upload videos have the right to make money through youtube videos. they also have the right to alter the form of their videos in order to ensure extra cash. they also have the right to ask their viewers for ratings, as long as it doesn't become annoying (no annotations etc). 3 things are unacceptable: 1: disguising a money whoring giveaway channel as something else. 2: excessive endorsements. it insults your viewers intelligence. 3: lowering the quality/originality of your content.

  • the way to end all this drama and money whore shit is to KILL YOUTUBE!

  • @EightThoughts i also stongly agree. Ive unsubbed many just because of greed. I enjoy smaller channels like limbs, u, wickedshrapnel etc.

  • The money has totally fucked and dropped the overall quality of most videos. 90 percent of most videos put up by the big channels are garbage. Watch them objectively and without and fanboyism and you'll have to come to the conclusion that they are the same thing over and over. NO originality and really not very entertaining.

  • @EightThoughts While I do agree, there is still the age old saying of "if you don't like it, don't watch it".

  • Fucking hell. I totally agree. I was just thinking about this and the glory days of 2 years ago with the COD community. I miss it.

  • @EightThoughts Youtube will be Youtube. And the CoD community is part of that. I've gotten to see the gaming community grow from shitty quality montages or 1v1s when CoD4 came out to the moneymaking commentaries and high-standard montages where people love to hate. And it'll be what it'll be, but I do miss the "old" days as well.

  • Is there a reason why this video randomly ends at 15:05?

  • What game is this?

    

  • @zaksharpe Homefront 3. nevermind

  • @zaksharpe homefront

  • Press 7. People just become more and more shameless.

  • Xcal is the tits.

  • Liked and Favorited. Great vid Mr. Limbs

  • why is this guys comment saying "8th" top commented

  • @Pupdates Probably.

  • You know what's funny about this. It's that people think they need about 100,000 subs to get a partnership when you really need about 5,000 subs and a certain number of total video views. But that's for Call Of Duty, the whored out daughter of Activision. For Let's Play guys like me we actually have fun because we realize that respawn just wants Cookie cutter CoD commentary. And if you wanna know what that looks like just look up Xjawz

  • This was a good topic there are so many channels now where all you see are advertisements and follow me on facebook and twitter and this and that.

  • Great video and a great topic. I am glad to be subscribed.

  • i know the answer, screw it all, its not worth our time, alot of things are more important then youtube virtual videos, that most of us view at night after a long day, the last thing we want to see are arguements.

  • I think that you may have just overthought the whole thing.

  • UkranianLimbs is the only CoD related channel I'm subscribed to at all.

  • 11th

    

  • @SouthsideNewts Fag.

  • xcal = last remnants of the old great community still producing inspired videos

    wings = leading us into the new age of multiple subpar videos each day for the purpose of making money

  • @bcorn8 chris smoove. he doent give a shit about money he probably likees the bonus but i have never seen him ask for a like or favorite, and i havent noticed a drop in his quality. whiteboy went down to lowest of the low with that stuff, but i lovewhiteboy and i think his content is great right now

  • @nixmtrix22 bullshit, whiteboys content is shit.

  • @xXZAK57Xx highschool stories? those are all great. so is road to gold. his content is going back to what it used to be

  • @nixmtrix22 Asking for Likes/Favorites doesn't mean they are doing it for money. And Whiteboy's content is shit now. He only does shit for money

  • @bcorn8 Wrong.

    Wings = How the fuck does this guy even have subs?? He Ragequit cos' a guy was using Juggernaut when he was using Stopping Power!!!

  • @bcorn8 What about essindees?

  • @bcorn8

    I thought Wings was being a commentator fulltime while lets say people like Woody have a job besides youtube.

  • @bcorn8 xcal makes a shitload of money, don't give a shit about his subs, puts out a shitload of live comns to just make money and so does wings that fat fucker!

  • @mrcallofdutyman1 xcal doesnt give a shit about the stupid people out there, like you he never asks anybody to favorite his videos or anything like that

  • @jagentay69 what do you mean? I said that I hate xcal he's just treating this shit like a job

  • @bcorn8 No, I think SeaNanners should replace xCal. He doesn't even make money off of the videos on his channel, and Whiteboy7thst whould replace Wings.

  • @thaFalkon okay, let me set things straight.

    Whiteboy: PLEASEEEEEE GIMME MONEYYY

    Wings:let me make the same type of video over and over again, pick this guy off here, boom.

    Xcal: I dont give a shit about the money, the drama or anyone really, I'll do what i want, if people like seeing what I do, i'll record it and put it up on youtube

    seannaners: I like minecraft :D

  • @JordyMOOcow the wings quote was funny as hell lol boom

  • @bcorn8 idk xcal makes live coms because they are easy and dont require a topic or an inspiration. i dont think xcal is a good example

  • @bcorn8 i saw a video the other day woody made a video explaing how rebecca black is an inspiration to him?? that only went up to make monaaaay!!! i want him on ur list too!

  • @bcorn8 You know who else with xcal? MrObviouslyJesus.

    He has same additue as xcal in my opinion :)

  • Hey Limbs unblock me from "ukranianlimbs" please!!
