Thats a really crazy story ste ;) I have only one question after reading that, why you never tried again after your network was closed? Maybe you found a better niche or what?

I believe this was the golden period of YouTube. I've kept in contact with a few people and from what I have been told I would not have gotten away with 10% of the shit I did today. Content filters and copyright tools have come a long long way and I am not sure it's worth it.

YouTube also rip everyone off, for example you know those adverts you get on your mobile... 100% of that money is sent to YouTube and not the network or content creator. The only views they now pay on are desktop views, if you use an app or mobile device of any kind (including TV's and consoles) Google keep 100% of it.

YouTube have also come down hard on gaming, which I was involved in. Look at Machinima for example, they raised 50 million dollars and they are now a company on the brink of going under. They did fuck up and gamble on creating their own feature shows and what not which went horribly for them... but fuck, we made nothing like that so chances are if we scaled to their size we would also be fucked.
 
This is awesome mate, it's the sort of storyline you could see playing out on silicon valley lol
 
great story! there is a lot people can take away from this! Never done much with Youtube, but it sounds pretty cut throat.
 
Total chaos man. What a great story. Definitely worth considering a film for this kind of stuff. Just have the screenwriters leave out the whole excrement thing. It does seem a bit juvenile. Way to go!
 
lol. good old ste.

Got some good blood increase in morning.
 
This story was right around the days when I was going hard with gaming vids on YT. I can't get the name of your network off the tip of my tongue, but I remember watching all of this Yeousch stuff go down. During 2012 is when I got a lot of attention of YT, my videos were a lot better than most people's, only problem is they were CoD PC. So the audience wasn't there like it was for console. I used to run the most skilled pc cod team for YT for a while and just like you it was drama every day. I was 15 / 16 at the time and I talked shit all day every day lol. I wouldn't trade that time for the world, I just wish I would've taken it more seriously and stayed consistent. I'd have a shit ton of subs right now probably.. Actually at least once a week I think about getting back into it. Maybe this summer. Being a youtuber getting a lot of attention is just nothing like anything else. i loved it.

Edit - I also found myself in the middle of gamer twitter wars from time to time. There's a chance you and I have crossed paths on there if you were on Twitter everyday.
 
This is a drama story. But you was a fantastic 4 (Fishkin "Mr.Brain", Leo "Wolf", Zack "GoodGuy" and Gloomy "Simply Gloomy") Lol. I enjoyed your story man!
 
Amazing story. But with all this, besides the 1500$ a day from ''deposits'' I still don't get how much you actually made from the network. Also you said Youtube later freezed the earnings, so you only got everything until that freeze? Especially since Adsense pays out after only 2 months?

I made enough to buy a low to mid end hatchback car.

it was certainly worth 4 months work.
 
Sweet popcorn Jeisas!

How you got your nicknames for everyone of you, how you redacted the story, how and how... !

Damn!

Do a movie with this one man, I loved every f**king word from this story from top to the end.

You f**ing rock!

..now i need to be careful with what MCN I will affiliate in future, this thing is serious
 
This shit was really motivating for me somehow. Your storytelling is truely impressive. Thanks for a good read.
 
Holy crap you guys believe this garbage? This is the worst poorly written Roleplay I have ever read. I don't know why the user who wrote it got banned but I hope it was over how bad the writing was.

As your image is of an actress, are you roleplaying or criticizing due to experience?
