Because youtube was so much better in that regard?

Might sell your data in the future is a hell of a lot better than currently selling the shit out of your data. Nebula is a side grade in terms of privacy, but an upgrade in terms of creators not getting their shit deleted for no good reason.

While I appreciate a lot of the stuff that Gamers Nexus does, Steve is so, so insufferable.

I don't watch his channel, but from here it seems like he is in a "rage" spiral. Like being a bit unpleasant and when people respond to that he doubles down going fro just a bit to kind of an ass

Ive also only seen a few videos of his over the last few years but it seems like he's recently had some wildly successful videos based off exposing corruption in the PC/tech industry and has morphed his channel from tech reviews to some sort of investigative journalism chasing that high he got from said viral videos.

Yes, that's the problem.

It's not YouTube drama, it's international trade drama.

Sometimes it ain't about the revenue stream.

No! I'm sick of these influencers giving a platform to fascist birds. Enough is enough! #cancelmrpigeon

Is that supposed to be a abd thing?

I feel like this site needs more attention.

No, i don't really have an opinion either way.

Yeah it's strange why more people don't just give into corporate greed and losing ownership of their channels when they discuss potential (obvious) corruption.

Upsetting that they would react in a negative way!

Elaborate? Genuinely asking.. what is your key takeaways for "it's a shit hole"?

Chasing the high? You think that is why he does that? Sit down and think ..THINK what you just said .. according to you his motivation is some junky high chase?

"I don't watch his channel but let me give an opinion ". Are you stupid or something? If you know little to nothing about a topic educate yourself or shut your mouth you muppet. He has the balls to go against giants and has had success at it. Rossman is the same. You can't play nice guy against asshole corporations. What was the last win you had in consumer advocacy? You ass..

The only high he's chasing is a money one. Controversy brings clicks.

3 dmca/copyright strikes on a channel and yt deletes you. It was mentioned near the beginning of the video.

At the end of the day he's running a business and has had lots of financial success with this type of "product," so it makes sense to focus your efforts on said product going forward.

I like that he's exposing corruption, but question his motivations and use of clickbait. I'm not really passing judgement on him either way and things don't always have to be black and white, "good" or "bad."

Do you have something to add? Asking if my stated opinion is "what I think" in three different ways isn't really contributing much to the conversation.

Except for these people, it almost definitely is. They have staff, an office, inventory to manage, etc. Most YouTubers nowadays aren't just operating on their own, and thus have financial expenses outside of just paying themselves for their own labor, that can't just keep going if their revenue stream goes down, or even just takes a large enough cut.

It's unfortunate, but that's just how a lot of the content creation industry works right now, especially on YouTube.

He goes into detail on some of the videos, but to summarize the "controversial" videos due less well when it comes to recouping the money it takes to film them (if at all). They (often):

• have to account for more travel expenses to interview people
• can't be sponsored since no one wants to sign up for those kinds of pieces and depend on ad revenue alone
• can include additional legal costs (have lawyers review things, etc. )
• for things that are time sensitive, they can also mess with the work life balance of the team and the regularly scheduled content they've been working on
• stress from dealing with mega corps with the money to ruin you as a side quest
