>promote freemium War of Clans shit to fans that have been watching since 2006 >use their weekly James & Mike video for a sponsored iPad game JUST MAKE A FUCKING PATREON. YOU HAVE 2.5M SUBSCRIBERS WHO WILL PAY YOU TO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT TO YOURSELF. THIS IS SICK.
James looks like he wants to fucking kill himself playing this shitty Disney game.
I saw this on my front page and immediately unsubbed
Liam Wood
Brown?
Logan Murphy
literally who
Luis Peterson
Bricks?
Chase Hughes
Honestly the saddest shit ever. It's strange that a man can be both a cuck and a whore.
RIP AVGN
Grayson Rogers
explain this maymay to me
Alexander Johnson
Motherfucker Mike needs money for motherfucking cocaine
Noah Sanchez
Mine?
Nicholas Evans
Who is he, and why should I care?
Robert Carter
>a video ad with a video ad at the start and YouTube ads as well this is like jake paul greed cringe levels
Mason Edwards
In all my years autistically browsing Sup Forums for 18 hours a day, I have never heard of this "James and Mike". Fuck off with this eceleb shilling shit. I get it, Reddit doesn't want to "troll" or "bant"/rip apart what's going on, so you come to site that is notorious for being bitter and kneejerk about shit. But seriously, fuck off.
Samuel Anderson
People keep making fun of James but I just rewatched Board James and it was even better than I remembered. Pure kino.
Sebastian Adams
I'm surprised you lasted this long.
Isaiah Gray
I mean when their big weekly feature is now a commercial, who can blame you? You're supposed to put ads on content, not turn the content itself into an ad. There is zero reason to watch this, even as the most hardcore fan.
Landon Long
They get paid like 10 000$ for this.
Most company pay 2 000 an hour to influencers of high levels to play games on stream.
Parker Roberts
>Never heard of the AVGN >Claims to have been here for "years" I mean, I guess browsing since 2016 counts as years...
Kayden Rogers
Do u know Angry Video Gamer Reaction Face Man from r/funnymemes
That's James
Carson Gomez
James did NOT scold Mike.
Kayden James
I thought Sonic 06 was the low point of shekel shilling, but this...
Bentley Harris
its like every minute facet of my adolescence is actively shoving itself back into my face to show me just how rotted and repugnant it's become
as if it's a point of pride for the universe to specifically ruin things for people like us
Julian Gonzalez
Ma boi northernlion can teach them a thing or two about disney crossy road
Carter Roberts
In what way is being familiar with an e-celeb who was popular a decade ago equivalent to knowing about every random thing the dude does today?
Luke Lee
Does it matter? There's a thread made to whine about how they aren't more successful and how we should all care.
Fuck off with this garbage.
Jaxon Powell
>board of thousands of people >only one of them has to be aware of a situation and post about it
you need to realize this is the case and stop pretending like it's "you and Sup Forums" here
John Martin
i think i replied to the wrong side of the discussion with this one its so hard to tell these days
fuck i am so weary
Wyatt Sanders
The worst part is all the cucks defending it in the comments, literally like having shit shoveled in their mouth because it has "muh james" in the video.
Mason Collins
Dont watch the video. Fanboys will be fanboys, but you give them money by watching the video.
John Anderson
But how do I downvote it without giving it a view
Luis Rodriguez
Why would you click on it if you see a subject that does not interest you?
Benjamin Jackson
Last two Mondays it was super Mario 3d world and watching them grinding out some of the harder levels. This week it's fucking Disney crossy road. No thanks I've already stopped watching the videos with just Mike or Mike and that fucking greasy sweatball ryan... But now you ruin Jame's videos too .... Goddamn
David Martin
You are not even kidding. Just went to watch this video to see what the talk was about. Ad for some laundry detergent before video starts, ad for some vikings game as video starts, sponsored video for some shitty disney game, multiple mid video banner ad (Don't know exactly what you call them) for a movie, a muslim dating site (I shit you not), and fortnite. This is the whoriest thing I have ever seen. I just want to see AVGN, I am not interested in any other kind of video they do, especially not lets plays of such crap. How poor are they guys? Does one of them have cancer and need to pay some crazy medical bills?
Ryan Long
It's disgusting, but notice also that they're filtering comments. They're only letting the cuckiest dick-suckiest comments through. But they gotta be damn retards to make comments like that because this sponsored shit is extremely degrading. It's like watching James take a dick in the ass on a cam site and defending that, and acting like you're doing a good thing for him.
Jason Nelson
At least he's not trying to sneak a sponsor in, the video clearly says "sponsored"
Jayden Gutierrez
Did you even read my fucking post?
Aaron Morris
Sometimes they advertise things I ended up enjoying I wouldn't have known of otherwise, and he's a Disney loving manchild so he's probably cool with it.
Dominic Davis
>comments acting like the niggas are literally starving and have to resort to this because of the "adpocalypse"
Fuck off.
Colton Young
The thing is that Mike would definitely fuck up the patreon some how. At this point, the channel's death is inevitable. AVGN will fade into obscurity sometime soon. I don't know when, but its bound to happen. James is growing older, and the channel has been completely run into the ground by Mike and Ryan.
A view is worth more than a downvote. If you are so uninterested in a video that you dont click on it, then they will see that the views are down and so will see a real impact on the video reception.
The more views a video get, the more youtube consider it as popular.
Joshua Anderson
Dude, stop, my dad's gonna see and take the computer away
Eli Perry
>A view is worth more than a downvote. No it isn't. The view count is far higher than the upvotes and downvotes combined.
Christian King
All these fucking leaches in the comments defending him. You can tell mikes deleting any comments critisizing them
Connor Rivera
When the movie for AVGN was in production, Mike "took over" and made some reviews. There's "Minecraft with Gadget" which a parody account ran into the ground, an LP channel made fun of it during a video of an Inspector Gadget game and even said that Mike Matei would take it down (which he said as a joke but was true, he took down many reuploads.) There was also the Elmo review and also a Drunk Super Mario Bros. stream. I'd also like to say the Minecraft with Gadget thing is probably one of the worst things I've seen on Cinemassacre.
Jack Clark
I legit been here since 2007 and never heard of them.
Cameron Russell
Waiting for ryan pinn comment.
Xavier Jones
>but you give them money by watching the video. Adblock, and if you close the tab before watching more than a certain amount of the video doesn't even count as a view.
t. uploads shit
Gavin Walker
This. You'd think with Ghostbusters (2016) and EA's Battlefront 2 getting a zillion dislikes would make significant impact, but it didn't. All publicity is good publicity. It's far more damaging to be outright ignored.
Owen Green
At least it's not Stardust.
Andrew Turner
1. It's Like and Dislikes. Upvotes and Downvotes are for Reddit like website where a post get higher or lower depending on the votes.
2. Yes. If a video has less views than other videos, then they will clearly see it's not good and they made less money onit.
Brayden Ramirez
>crossy road is still a thing
Jonathan Powell
>2. Yes. If a video has less views than other videos, then they will clearly see it's not good and they made less money onit. Did you even read my fucking post?
Michael Nguyen
What is the point of clicking a video to just dislike something without actually watching it. And if you dislike a video, it counts as a view. Otherwise you would have videos with 0 views and some dislikes.
Lucas Morales
Just because not everybody like or dislike stuff does not mean that the views are less important. Only 10% or so of people use the like and dislike system. Views are what is important. Like and dislike only help them get more popular via Youtube algorithms promoting liked content more than disliked content. But it does not matter for a youtuber with tens of millions of Subscribers like AVGN.
Owen Gray
That can happen. Has sort of happened to me with votes outweighing views.
>Hmm, it seems Sup Forums are really mad about this new cinemassacre video I didn't watch >I'll check it out, maybe they did something really egregious this time >A fair few dislikes, but nothing crazy >All the top comments are cinemassacre defense force thanking james and mike for gracing them with their presence in the form of an advertisement
Why do people enjoying eating shit so much?
Ryan Morris
>Only 10% or so of people use the like and dislike system. Exactly my point, giving one measly view when the counter is already at 100,000+ to make that much more influential dislike is a fair trade.
Benjamin Collins
Influential for what? Dont watch the video and you already shown your dislike for the content.
