Should people who play video games on YouTube get a real job?

Define real job

>>385811483
A job where you get paid for actual effort and work.

>>385811483
A job where you go out and do real work instead of sitting on your ass playing video games and making videos of you playing video games

>>385811540
you're delusionally believing a narrative that any form of generating revenue is more virtuous than another.

you want to virtue signal go to reddit, you want reality to kick you in the teeth, stay on 4chan.

yes, he makes more money than you
but he's also slowly dying of cancer

>>385811364
Why is YouTube not a real job? It's the same, or in many cases, more of a time commitment than a typical 40 hours a week job.

Reminder that the "get a real job" crowd is just jelly as fuck that they can't make a living playing video games.

its a real job. consider it self employment or entrepreneur.

>>385811750
making videos about games isnt a job

>>385811931
Why not?

Say that to Haughty José, who is taking a 2 month vacation from not making content.

>>385811989
because it's easy and fun and work should be boring and miserable

>>385811931
Reviewers do that though

>>385812023
its his business though. he doesn't answer to nobody. if he tells his fans to fuck off then thats his deal

>>385812071
and it works, stay mad

>>385812085
yeah and theyre doing such an amazing "job" dont they

>>385812093

these are real jobs

>>385812167
Youtube can't force him to make videos you fucking dingbat. Sure he won't make money but that's his choice.

>>385811364
I've never liked TB because of his whiny personality but at least he did some interesting content in the past. Now his channel is just mainly his shitty fucking podcast, and when he does a video about a game he's fucking around in the options for half an hour.

>>385812215
Of course it's not easy to be a beggar. It's humiliating

>>385811364
Did he say something recently? People don't usually unsubscribe for no reason. They may not watch his videos, but it takes more effort for people to actually unsubscribe instead of ignoring videos in the feed.

>>385812313
And yet here you are wasting your time on a Chinese cartoon website. You are seriously so delusional in your lack of self awareness you honestly think you have any right to talk about humility.

>>385812071
Unless I'm mistaken TB gets something like a commission from Youtube for making videos. Not exactly a donation.

>>385812256
Actually that's the reason why also does other crap now. He has to make content at certain intervals to keep monetizing going.

>>385812313
If you care about shit like this you don't work in any media whatsoever

>>385812071
I'm self employed, freelance editor. Self employment is basically begging for money. YouTube is no different.

He gets money from ads, from donations and from Youtube Red. That's how you triple dip some parts of your audience.

>>385812449
I'm at work actually
keep projecting though, I'm sure your virtual friend appreciates greatly your defending his honor

>>385812594
He also gets money for casting, or at least did get money. I also think he occasionally gets money from publishers.

>>385812629
Is under ads and donations

I have a "real" job, i work 8 hours a day for a wage salary in fact im writting this from the office. If i could make money from youtube or twitch i would do it, even if i made half of what i earn now.

Op is lieing isnt he?

>>385812514
>daily average is now 25 subs
he might have been right at the time but these recent numbers are shockingly bad

>>385811364
>>385811931

You could shovel dog shit for a living and as long as someone is willing to pay you that is a real job. It doesn't matter what the fuck you do in life to bring in money as long as it's not stealing from someone else.

Let's be fair though, he's still "working" even though he's undergoing chemo. Even if his ability to do so is testament to how chill his job is, he is working. Most people on chemo don't work or rather can't work as a result.

I can respect that to some degree.

>>385812778
>Shockingly bad
>Video views are up 4.5million
Oh yeah he's circling the drain

>>385812778
>positive subs
>bad
Yeah, I'm sure he regretting everything he said

>>385812893
that only attests to the fast that streaming isn't a real job

>>385811364
Everyone should have to work.
Autists should be forced into labour camps.
Not even trying to be edgy, the reason nobody has anything is because of handouts to losers.

>>385812893
There's no respect to be had. When you're big, you cast a big shadow, and he basically told some guy in presence to tens of thousands of his fans, mostly children, to get cancer and die.

Now he has cancer, and I can legitimately unsarcastically say that he deserved it. Wishing pain upon people in a public forum where people look up to you is karmic justice when it backfires.

That's fucking nothing, he's been on a steady decline for 4 years.

>>385811540
That would cut out a majority of most jobs commie. Not everyone is a farm hand or factory worker. very few are.

In fact that's why we are having this whole job problem, too many idiots who can't work in anything but poop shuttling or sweatshop worker.

>could easily say that he does video games he wants and not what others request and stop there

Even Jim Sterling has better numbers than him with less than 1/4 the subs

There's a lot of money to be made in entertainment. They should at least be realistic in seeing that it's got a good chance of drying up quickly as a medium.

>>385813389
Why did he even respond at all? I doubt anyone expects a youtuber to actually respond to every comment posted. Just leave it if you don't agree/don't want to answer.

>>385813098
I mean, that's kinda what they are already doing.
Of course they can't force them to do it, but its heavily encouraged to take "apprenticeship".

>>385813389
He could also just not respond.

>>385813590
>youtuber speaks his mind on videogames
>youtuber speaks his mind to a commenter
>manchildren goes beserk

/v/ is literally women.

>>385813475
TB is dying, literally and metaphorically. He's been on the top, he's been featured in different media, he got the awards, he got his time to shine as truly a media personality. Nowadays he's irrelevant to the majority of people both from the industry and for those who are actually interested in it and his subs plateaued a long time ago. He's lucky he's getting those 150k views per video nowadays. If you look at his channel, his e-drama videos are the ones that get most of the views, his reviews are worthless.

>>385813590
It's the only time he feels any power in his pathetic life

>>385813098
Giving every single person a job is a handout you muppet.
Or do you think that there is something productive that every single person could be doing fulltime that creates enough value to be worth paying them? Something like 22% of the population is unemployed or on low-hours part-time work.
Technology has made a lot of work obsolete, we don't all have to be farmhands to stay fed and sheltered anymore.

>>385813748
By speaking his mind you mean goes on an autistic rant that damages his credibility right? Also his salary comes from people watching his videos and from a business persepctive it's better sometimes not to respond or give a neutral answer than actually say what you think.

>>385813991
>By speaking his mind you mean goes on an autistic rant that damages his credibility right?
like he does in his videos? so it's okay for him to go into an autistic rant about the industry but its not okay for him to talk shit about someone because that's his customer?

props to him for not kissing ass to this terrible fanbase.

>>385812554
>having time to browse korean dishwasher board while working 'an honest job'

yeah no

The market decides what counts as a real job.

>>385814238
not everyone is a burger flipper anon

>>385814447
You obviously have time to think of dumb rebuttals which means you are not working more, nay less even, than people earning money while playing videogames.

better have that alt tab ready in case your boss comes around

>>385814598
dumb posts merit dumb rebuttals

>>385811364
I like how you highlight the part where he lost subs for a week to make it look like a big deal

But down at the bottom it says he's still up +740 for the month.

So he was 100% correct.

>>385811840
thanks friend, your kind words mean a lot to me

>>385811364
Is this the outcome from the coxcon drama?

>>385814972
It might be just reaction to what ever happened, I wouldn't know, or maybe it's a new trend.

Just because you don't have foresight doesn't mean you shouldn't be worried.

>>385815326
yeah, the comments from above are way older

>>385814598
Not him but you most have never worked at all if you can't understand that there are down times, i spend about 90% of my job on /v/.

>>385813964
Maybe everyone should have personal time (and space/environment) to live on his own...

Protip: if you get paid for doing something, it's a job. In fact, receipt of payment is literally the thing that separates a job from a hobby.

>>385815520
Seriously, this is how it was before the industrial revolution and it was the goal of the founding fathers to maintain that system as best the could. Traditionally everyone had their own farm and could support themselves without having to deal with a boss, and if you had one getting free of him was your number one goal.

I never understood why so many people got their shitters sundered by those particular comments of his. Does it hurt people's feelings because they're too emotionally fragile to realize that e-celebs with an audience of millions aren't actually their friends?

>>385811364
ok, here is my fucking 2 cents

YT is and isn't a job: both sides of the coin
by anon, age 12


ok faggots
YT is a job, they get paids and sheet
they work usually longer than 8 hours if they do actual videos and not just uploading twitch VODs

YT isn't a job, in that, if i fucking was to drop my job RIGHT NOW and start "working" for YouTube i won't get paid, maybe ever in my life

i'd have to work hard, even more time all week for months or even years to get to a point where i make "money", and who knows how much that money will be.

i could be making just about what i get now, maybe 35-45k a year or stupid angry joe money (i don't know how much he makes but it has to be decent to take a 2 month vacation)

only drawback is, no fucking benefits or health plan. holy shit, what the fuck YT? i thought you were a job! most jobs that aren't minimum wage have fucking benefits and a healthcare plan.

>>385813802
what i want to know is why would you keep going?

if i was in his position, i would fucking do a LOT of other shit than work with any money i have!

>>385811483
A job that offers paid benefits and a 401k

>>385823686
Id much rather build wealth with a 9 to 5 that isnt fun but is satisfying and do what i enjoy on my time off and hopefully invest enough money that i can later quit than try to turn what i enjoy into a job.

>>385823965
no

your job doesn't get to be fun or satisfying
you have a shitty job that pays well, but you barely get time off at all because THE BOSS needs you for XYZ projects!

>>385824130
Lol are you fucking retarded? Most people have normal jobs they reasonably enjoy and work 40 hours a week.
