Nintendo ID Claims Youtube LPs

[Mutsukki]

Mutsukki...LPers who monetize are doing exactly what we said. Passively through ads, and getting revenue off of them, they're essentially "pay to watch"-ing their videos. Although the viewers don't personally pay out of pocket, when an ad is viewed, the money goes to the uploader. When it comes down to it, that money is coming from them showing almost all of the contents of something they didn't create, hence where we stand now.

We keep hitting the same point now and then. In my view, you're analising it WAY too superifically and frankly, most things sound wrong when put in a similar light.

"Oh, he's getting paid to talk shit about that movie while showcasing it, truly he should be taken down", but being a reviewer is a legitimate job that's been around for a long time.

Honestly, and I hope I don't offend anyone, the counter-argument seems really based on people being very conservative about what can be seen as a job or not. Apparently, "video maker" is not considered a "real job", and I'm not really sure why, because, again, writing and performing enjoyable content is no easy task. They're riding off the game's content to produce their own? Well, yeah. But didn't I just show Mystery Theather 3k a while back in a point? And isn't that basically what parody movies and shows do to succeed? Well, I'm going off-topic, but this is honestly what is seems like (backed even more by the sports =/= e-sports argument earlier).

Actually looking deeper in to this, this isn't going to affect the LPers at all. They don't get paid to just upload videos they get paid to sell advertising. I don't see what the big issue is if Nintendo wants more advertising in videos that have their IP in it. The argument of the above video is pretty invalid unless an LPer does not get paid to do that.

If that was just it, it would be great for both parties. The thing is that Nintendo is taking the money intended for LPers and forwarding to them, basically.
