So, a few days ago I covered the drama on YouTube surrounding 2 British retrogamers, Villordsutch and Top Hat Gaming Man. The basic story goes like this – Top Hat Gaming Man used footage from Villordsutch without permission, and (intentionally or not) edited it to hide most traces of Villordsutch’s name from the video, not …

Villordsutch V.S. Top Hat Gaming Man – YouTube Retrogaming Drama At Its Finest!
I’ve been letting this one run its course before I tossed out my comments, but in thinking about it this is something that I just have to weigh in on, given how deeply it’s tied into the very nature of YouTube, and the Retrogaming scene. I love giving social commentary, so this is about as …

Small YouTube Channels Didn’t Cause The Adpocalypse
We’re going to step back just a tad to 2017 and the event on YouTube known as the “Adpocalypse.” The Adpocalypse was a major slashing in income earned on YouTube from advertising, due to multiple factors, the greatest of which being ads simply not being run on certain videos deemed unsuitable, due to reasons we …

The Good That Will Come From The YouTube Partner Program Changes
Okay, I’ve spent a good bit of time tearing down the YouTube Partner Program changes. I’m not going to lie, I was rather upset by them initially myself – I still think the principle of creating these kinds of limits to people earning any money via Adsense, SuperChat, or any other built into YouTube feature …

Why Does It Matter How Much Money A Small YouTuber Makes?
As the YouTuber Partner Program madness kicked in this past week, one extremely common point I saw being brought up by large YouTuber Content Creators time and time again was that most of the channels being affected by this were making under $100 a year. Noting that the payout threshold for Google Adsense is $100, …

Did You Ever Think That Maybe Some YouTube Content Creators Want To Stay “Small Time?”
So, today was the first full day of the fallout from YouTube’s announced changes to their Partner Program – the first day to really see what the internet had to say about it, and honestly, it’s about exactly what I expected. Many people behind relatively small channels of all types are of course objecting to …

YouTube Changes Its Partner Program Requirements – For The Worse
I never did get a chance to write about the “Adpocalypse” of 2017. Super long story cut short, varying incidents with high profile YouTube content creators resulted in many advertisers pulling their advertising from the platform entirely, due to not wanting to be associated with objectionable content creators. It got worse recently when a high …

The 2018 Plans Of Prince Watercress
Time for something completely different in my “what’s to come” kinds of entries. Instead of talking about my plans, I’m instead going to, by request, discuss what my friend Prince Watercress has planned for 2018. Yes, he actually requested that I write this article to help promote what he does. People who follow what I …

I Used To Love SpaceX… And Then Things Changed. (Part 2)
Click here for Part 1. On September 27th, 2016, SpaceX uploaded a video showing what their upcoming super-heavy launch vehicle plans were – the Interplanetary Transport System.

Vidme Is Dead
December 14th and 15th seemed to be just full of internet deaths. If AIM was your friendly grandmother, who was always there for you but you saw less and less in the latter years, Vidme was the baby among the group, born weak with a health issue that you knew might take it away from …

The Dumbest Scammers Of 2017
Been a good long while since I did anything regarding tech support scams. Rather than another typical video of a scam in action, I thought it would be fun to share this compilation by YouTuber Jim Browning, certainly one of the most thorough and mature scambaiters, where he shows what he feels were the dumbest …

RIP Angry Grandpa
I was rather shocked to read today about the death of a well known, and clearly well loved YouTube celebrity, Charles Green, better known as Angry Grandpa. This one kind of hit me hard – I followed the show passively, but had been aware of it and the family, for quite a while, checking out …

Looks Like It’s Over For Vidme
With YouTube being in the state it is currently (something I’m long overdue for addressing) many video creators online have been looking for an alternative, and for the past few months it looked like a certain little website known as Vidme would be a good alternative – it looked to work about as well as …

Oddity Archive Covers The Max Headroom Incident
One of the many more unique YouTube channels I follow is Oddity Archive – a channel devoted heavily to the more eccentric side of television, film, and home media of all types. Incidencally, the channels first subject was, of all things, the Max Headroom Incident. Now, Ben, the man behind Oddity Archive, kind of hates …
