hey this guy should kill himself because he just acts like a tool on youtube to get money

that totally means hes the same guy in real life right?
no, he should kill himself because he steals stuffloads of content from other viewers without actually saying anything funny or though provoking. the closest he comes to comedy is using that stuffty "SURPRISE BUTTlove" gag. imaging if i made thousands of dollars for stuffting on your porch every day. you can always say "well, just don't step on the stuff." but it's still there, it's still irritating, and i'm still making a forgetload of money from it. i have nothing against people making money, if he were actually saying things that aren't loving stupid i would say it's fine, but really, he has absolutely no talent.

It doesn't take no effort at all, you need to be creative, know what people likes massive view count, or have a good personality RWJ's personality is that of a douche . If it was something anyone could do with no effort, everyone would be doing it no, because it's above most people and the people who enjoy that crap are too busy jacking it to RWJ (and then it wouldn't be profitable anyways).

And yeah even though lots of the people who make money off of YouTube are stupid, the only reason people make money off of stupid stuff is that's what people are stupid enough to watch. so we should kill the viewers for being stupid.

I think it's a stupid idea, honestly.
Learning to program, and making some money off game design would be better.
You can also learn to make pixel art and do jobs through Paypal on sites like Pixeljoint or Pixelation. On the forums they have a section dedicated to portfolios and job offers.

Totalbiscut and the Yogscast i think both make their money though youtube. They both do diffrent kinds of videos with TB doing game reviews and the Starcraft shows while the Yogscast do funny (opinion) videos and lets plays. Now i don't have any proof but im pretty sure TB tries his best to edit videos and make high quality material the Yogscast are less professional but cater to a different audience.

If you're good at something then why not profit off of it?

game reviews

They aren't reviews. They are first-impressions videos and should be treated as such.

This, it is a good way to make money, and in my opinion they deserve it.

it takes next to none effort to make money on youtube, seriously :V

kinda stupid to make a living off of it

well stuff if i had the opportunity i would take it, i don't want to work in a factory/sweatshop.

honestly if you want a hard life where you can hardly enjoy it then be my guest.

It's easy to make money off of it, but you barely get anything.

i'm fine with it if it's a younger person (i.e. around 14) considering they can't really make money until they're older.

And snow.
And storms.
