Oh lol. Well, I still was young and naive back then, and not half as jaded as nowadays.
YouTube is going overboard, and being more obnoxious with their content id claims, Joe is right about that. I don't have any sympathy for AJ, but there are plenty of hobbyists (LPers for example) out there who make videos for fun, and also get affected by this. Often it's because of in-game music, which is pretty rediculous. It's not in the same league as putting videos on YT of complete CDs.

You can still watch the videos, but you can't earn money off them, so if you're doing this for fun, how does it affect you? Nintendo are dicks so they'll take down your LPs, but a lot of publishers won't
The videos get flagged, with a request to take them down under threat of shutting down the channel or even further steps. I have heard a few LPers talk about it, and this was because of Lps of games like Civ4.

As I understand it, a video being flagged doesn't mean a takedown request, it's just that it's under review during which you can't monetize it. That's what the major butthurt seems to be about

This is quite interesting.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a refugee from the BSN forums. I feel much more jaded than the average new fag (at least those from when I started lurking this place).
Yeah, it is a bit of a grey area how it exactly works, it's just what I have heard. It seems in most cases it is best to ignore it to avoid takedowns. Those who monetize the vids are still affected either way.

Good Sir
everyone here is an exile of some sort it seems, gathering like a Free (insert nation-name-here) Army.
More like the French Foreign Legion, taking rejects, malcontents and renegades from all over.

Who the hell needs money for anything, right? Doesn't everybody live in their mommy's basement?
That poor mister Kotick however, he seems like a chap desperatly in need of some advertising bucks.
So, you're basically suggesting that Angry Joe join IGN? You think that would somehow result in better content?
As if there's something wrong with being self-employed.
I kinda like these new lets play guys, you can follow those you like and ignore the ones you cant stand.
Angry Joe spends alot of time and effort on his videos and I think if he can monetize em via Youtube then he should. And I dont think we would get the same amount or the quality of the content we are used to seeing today if theres no money involved. Better videos=more views=more money. Simple as that.
Some people get lucky, like Pewds, who can take a shit and film it and get 3 million views "cuz he so dreamy" but alot of em work alot to bring quality content for us to see.
And wtf, playing a 15 sec audio that aint yours in a 30 minute video cuts you off all of the ad money and redirects it to the 15 sec audio owner. Fair play bro
I think you can tell now that people will be much more careful with shit they upload in the future.
...aaand fuck TotalBiscuit. Asshole

And how is that different than any job?

Whether we think their work is valuable or stable or whatever is beside the point, we're not their parents. The point is that making that stuff takes time and money, resources they could be using in activities that get them more money. The fact I'm doing something for fun doesn't necessarily mean I'll be okay with losing money for doing it.

The bottom line is it isn’t their prerogative, YouTube isn’t their website and if it was they would be able to decide what they do with the content on it or how they monetize it.
They also aren’t paying YouTube/Google anything for being allowed to use their service since it is free. Google could delete all YouTube videos tomorrow and close the service down and they would all be left staring out the window, it is as simple as that and at this stage doesn’t even have anything to do with the Copyright laws involved but the ToS and the contracts they likely signed to become “partners” and get some money in the first place: http://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms
YouTube could pocket all the Advertisement revenue themselves, or give it all to the publishers, or stop Advertisement altogether but they have decided that it is likely for the best to share with the “content creators” if they follow their specific rules and that is all that has happened. It is their decision and the "content creators" aren't entitled to shit without their consent and cooperation, so they are pretty much wholly dependant on the service and Google as a company and their whims. It's kind of like signing up to a forum in a way. It is a shitty position to put themselves in and they have nearly zero negotiating leverage.

Who knows, but when you get fired from your job you don't tend to claim your boss shouldn't be allowed to do so.

Most amusing thing about that is the projection Jasede was doing.
Except when you do, and people do quite often. Hello litigation.

There's a shortage of jobs nowadays. Besides that, judging by Spoony, it seems to be a sort of last resort source of income for people who are too mentally ill to keep a job or study consistently.

Jesus, what a shitty thread. Half the posts are people policing others for being off topic, I can't even read it.
