Necessary, otherwise think of the millions they'll lose. I don't know what's more depressing - seeing this desperate plague infecting so many videos or the thought that it's probably effective and they actually make more money by doing it. Old Detroit youtube has a cancer that cancer is crime subscriptions. Make sure you like and subscribe
I fucking hate Youtube so much. My roommate is spending his 3-day weekend watching Youtube videos discussing what characters might or might not be in the new Smash Bros and whether they might or might not suck. Literally sunrise to well past sunset, watching bored idiots drone on about what they think of Bayonetta over the same fucking tired clips of someone else playing video games. I guess the money from that comes from Youtube Premium. I guess that's what $12 a month is for. And I guess that's a victimless crime. But my god. It's worse than the Kick Me In The Balls Channel.
Well, 90/10 is a degeneration of the Pareto principle which puts it at 80/20. But then, Youtube kinda blows that all away in that it used to take two or three people just to show your Super 8 movies to your family and now your dumb-ass Periscopes are visible to the entire world with the press of a button. The problem, as I see it, is that droning in front of the computer with a bunch of stolen clips for days at a time will be monetized per play by Youtube whereas writing a blog will not. So you've got people who will drone in front of stolen content for money because Google's business model is fucking terrible. I have six channels. One of them is elizabeth. One of them is effectively CNN. And one of them is literally a webcam.
