I wish I got money for being a weird youtube man

At least he's not leading kids to gambling

what are you some kind of racist woman hating gamergater?

youtube literally shilling for the guy, for years, wasn't a tip off?

Never heard of this guy, and after a quick google, realized how out of touch I've been. People watch this shit this much? Really?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAUUU ISSSSS

I'M YOUR HOST KILLERKEEMSTARRR
LESSSSSSS
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Are you new to the internet son?
This

>The FTC charges stem for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s video game “Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor,” first released in September 2014, for which it paid influencers to post positive gameplay videos on YouTube and social media.

Every single time.
Every single fucking time.
>tell the fucking ubicucks to fuck off and stop shilling
>HURR MAYBE """WE""" ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL AMAZING GAME BY UBISOFT BUY NOW
>few months pass
>no one talks about it anymore

Someone please explain this expression.

He's really popular with the tween crowd. Anyone over 15 knows his videos are trash

>never heard of this guy

Have you lost your internet access for the past few years?

well at least 2/3 of them are still honest

disturbed amusement

>Can we talk about how shady this shit is ?

No, we have to talk about how game journalism and Nintendo are ruining anime titties for weebs like ourselves.

Fuck off tripfag

>At least he's not leading kids to gambling

You know, those guys were shitheads for not disclosing their connection to the website, but this feigned outrage over underage gambling is bullshit.

Gambling for kids has existed for over half a century, at least. Remember fighting tops? Winner keeps both tops.

Remember POGS? Winner keeps the POGS they knocked off.

Remember the Pokemon TCG? Plenty of people played for cards as stakes.

>he doesn't filter "!!"
fuck off newfag

>actually using filters
Least I aint the biggest bitch here

There's four people there though.

Did somebody's lower half lie?

If you didn't see youtubers becoming walking ads coming you're a fucking retard
PDP put up a full disclaimer of being endorsed by Hasbro to promote some shitty Transformers ad in a new vid, meanwhile WB has been fucking raging Jews in the gaming division and thinking they could get away with shit

>look this up
>Pewdiepie disclosed his sponsorships the correct way
>he's only included in the article because other people with the same sponsorships didn't

News sites are using pewdiepie to clickbait now. When will it end?

Figures that a gamergator wouldn't even count the woman as a person.

>Surprised that Pewdie Pie is sucking corporate cock for money

Kek

I dont like loud obnoxious Youtubers so it doesnt affect me

women aren't people

says the one crying about tripfags

Arcades that had tickets and prizes are built around gambling for little kids.

Just because I told you to fuck off doesn't mean you have to come back without the trip and act like someone else faggot

Why does he need more money?

If this is trolling, you can be proud, I'm mad.

Swedes are the Jews of Europe.

says the one getting mad at posts on an anonymous online imageboard

she's not a famous youtuber who give inciteful review

It's sad that I can't say with certainty that you are trolling/being sarcastic.

You win :^)

jesus christ everyone is this thread is underage or incompetent.

op is right in creating a thread about this, this is the type of content that used to be everywhere on Sup Forums, yes EVERYONE knew that money was exchanging hands but NOW its in the public domain.

says the one who uses passive aggressive emoticons

Mark was okay but the FNAF shit ruined him, he turned into a faggot tumblrite.

...

No shit sherlock i tought he does it for free, i mean, who can be so much retarded to do such a stupid job for FREE?

who did machinima pay?

>e-celeb are shill

but what does it mean for the future? are you even capable of thinking ahead?

I don't really care if pewdiepie steals money from CSGO children desu.

fuck, kill, kill, kill

What does it mean?

I don't see anyone playing the lord of the ring game.

Influencer marketing is now a thing is way more fields than just video games. Bloggers/YouTuber get paid or receive "free" services/goods in exchange of positive reviews.

There aren't 36 ways to operate. Either you, the consumer, starts to PAY for the Press you read or whatever other media you consume so reviewers only rely on YOUR money to provide you with neutral reviews, either you want shit for free (i.e. watch Youtube and read websites that are "free") and you'll get reviews which are favorable toward whoever is paying.

And guess who is paying for video games? Video game companies... Advertising on press sites? Game companies. YouTubers? All paid directly and indirectly by publishers.

Blame consumers for wanting something neutral and free. That simply doesn't exist at a large scale (you'll always find exceptions and some ethical reviewers, but they're a minority).

Yes I'm sure all the ten year olds really give a shit about this

>this becomes public
>sony confirmed paying to get the new ghost busters good reviews
>prob does the same with games

This is about ethics in games journalism, not pewdiepie

10 year olds dont buy games

>This is about ethics in games journalism

their mum does I guess

kill, whatever, fuck, fuck

>Play video games all the time
>All skinny as fuck

HOW DO THEY DO IT?

>play videogames all the time
>no food
>genetics

who gives a fuck

It is not like pewdiepie cereal game critic

I crave becoming rich and famous on youtube or similar things but haven't started a channel or stream

What should I get into? What's the new thing to tap into?

Welcome to the real world of Hollywood you dumb fuck

they eat less than you and probably exercise more than you. Video games don't make you fat YOU make you fat

So does every other narcissist. Most likely you aren't interesting/funny enough to do it.

there is no new thing, you simply cater to 12 year olds

DESU you should be making Pokemon GO prank vids. THen you'll be making bank

Dude it's just a prank bro, but see how easy it was to pull a gun on you and demand your money?

>ethics in games journalism

#triggered

I really don't understand why the faggots think anybody gives a rat's ass about video game journalism

The only thing people care about is info on up coming games, there are shit loads of these news site to choose from, if you don't like one there are others.

>genetics
Nice meme. It really isn't hard to stay in shape, you'd be surprised how many calories you can burn just by walking to the store and shit.

>there is no new thing, you simply cater to 12 year olds

Do you seriously believe this? There's a million other people who've seen the success of Pewdiepie and tried to copy it and you think that you can make it just by being not only a carbon copy but also late to the trend?

People who say this always strike me as bitter losers who made a gaming channel with boring content who look at the success of Pewdiepie and others and get mad that it's not them. Maybe their content isn't the best but you're only kidding yourself if you think the reason you're not getting views is because you're not "catering to 12 year olds." Tons of people tried to cater to 12 year olds and failed.

You think we're joking when we call out shill threads?

>playing video game is your job
>doesn't work out

No I think you're an idiot when you call out shill threads.

Because they are deceptive liars who like it or not are hugely influential and have been the cause of games getting ignored or praised not on merit but on paychecks and favoritism

and their mums don't care, they just want little Jimmy to shut the fuck up

Nobody actually does care about video game journalism.

People were just mad that some cunt cheated on her boyfriend and used gaming journalism to try to legitimize that anger. Other than that it was just people who were bored and needed a cause to fight for.

>If this is trolling, you can be proud, I'm mad.

This was just the most similar examples, there are plenty of worse gambling outlets for kids.

Capsule machines, often featuring items on the advert card that weren't in the machines or were in very small quantities.

Crane games that are made to appear to be games of skill, but in reality are rigged to not have enough pressure to carry anything on most plays.

The resemblance is uncanny isn't it?

You just start doing it, and eventually you'll fail miserably and get a low paying office job instead and end up killing your self.

this

blatant clickbait article about FTC having SUSPICIONS that the fact the video was sponsored isn't made clear enough to pass their rules or something

Didn't PDP disclose that he was shilling?

A low paying office job would actually be a huge step up from where I'm at now.

Why wouldn't you want to get paid to shill when you have tens of millions of subscribers?

uh no, you dumb nigger
they legitimately paid for the videos to give positive impressions and for them to make content
and it says in the future its mandatory now for all WB games to disclose if its paid promotion

are you serious right now? ethics in videogame journalism is a very important issue these days. here's a top 5 ranklist of global issues:

1. ethics in videogame journalism
2. global warming
3. pollution
4. growth vs resources
5. war

Doesn't he always disclose when something is a paid promotion, though?

You can dislike his content, but pewdiepie is probably the most transparent LP faggot out there.

this, I don't move my ass out of my chair and I'm a 120 lbs skeleton.

>why doesnt the media take my baby game hobby seriously??? >:(

he is the most famous youtuber, you should at least know him and no, I don't like him but he exploded like 1-2 years ago and became living meme

I just watch trailers, gameplay videos and let's plays of +30y old bitter manchildren and come up with my own opinion

videogamesawesome.com/

I hate liars, they should be lynched

#triggered

a job sounds much better than my current situation

>like 1-2 years ago

You must be in some kind of time dilation because he's been full throttle in our faces for almost 5 years now man

Gaben has his scapegoats, all is as planned...

heroin

it's been that long? damn
