      I do not understand why creators feel the need to be exclusively on one platform. Simply crosspost the videos.

        $$$ that’s why. YouTube gives the greatest return. If they post to multiple platforms, not only is it more work, but they then also subtract from the number of views they get on YouTube. It’s all about the $$$.

          In their documentary GamersNexus stated that they would air it without advertisements if a certain treshold of funding was reached. I imagine Patreon, their store and other sources make GamersNexus more money than Youtube advertisement. And it is certainly not their only source.

        LOL, the world may never know.

        I’m still not sure which side of that whole thing i’m on. I know he’s less annoying than Linus. But even Billit labs seems to have less hate for LMG than he does :)

      That would defeat the entire purpose of sensationalist headlines and blowing up a Google search as a “deep investigation” which is this channel’s main source of attention.

      They want the clicks on YouTube. Moving to PeerTube would be great if they just wanted the information to be out there, but that’s not their primary concern.

        Undeniably he gets more clicks for this. However, would you deny somebody their own soapbox when they’re getting fucked by the system? He is using his leverage to call out the bullshit DMCA system that YouTube has in place which allows anybody to fuck with anybody. And in this case he’s bringing to light a giant Goliath of a company Bloomberg for fucking with his few person team, and for YouTube for making it the default.

        Lemmy simps really hard for gamers nexus, even though they’re just a drama channel at this point.

          Their bread and butter is hardware reviews and weekly news. No, they’re not a drama channel. Just because that’s the only time you, personally, hear about them doesn’t mean the rest of us work that way.

          Telling Linus to fuck off is a good idea regardless of views.

              I don’t have an interest in being liked by Steve. I do have an interest in journalism outlets who are willing to say that a $4T market cap company is full of shit.

                willing to say that a $4T market cap company is full of shit.

                I’m willing to say that too, but you have to admit that it’s a lot easier to say such things on a Youtube video that gets you 900k views in a day.

                Also: careful to censor those middle fingers so you don’t get … gasp… demonetized
