Imagine doing nothing but being pretty and earning 50,000£ a month for it.

Was youtube a mistake?

No. 178710

naw it's okay. it's just the demand of the times. you should see younow, it's literally just a place where you watch people live stream in there rooms and you give them money for doing nothing.

I'd totally do it if I didn't look like a caveman

YouTube is not a mistake at all. I've learned so many things from watching YouTube over the years, things that without the videos existing I'd probably never learn how to do.

No. 178726

They're not scamming anyone, that money is being earned. Good for them imho.

Just turn on Adblock. Then they don't get money

That's not accurate, they don't get ad sense money but the views still power their stats that help them in indirect ways, plus she has now has so many deals selling goods in department stores and shit. Even if she lost all her ad sense revenue she'd still be raking it in.

Not if you aren't bitter and envious.

I don't like Zoella, but I can't stand the hate lucrative YouTubers get because they found a way to make a lot of money doing something they enjoy. That's literally everyone's dream, but people love to shit on them for it because how dare anyone have a more desirable life than them.

No. 178769

Youtube is one of the few things I look forward to anymore tbh, def not a mistake.

You sound like a robot fag that gets mad at women because they have it "so much easier."
There's a market for it. The demand is there. Why police people over the shit they decide to mindlessly watch?

You too? The op just feels like bait, right.

I absolutely don't mind. In the case of pewdiepie, they'll eventually get bored and start being a little more "edgy" and I absolutely welcome that.

Definitely. Shit is such an autistic thing to say.

Zoella's life is literally the most boring repetitive shit ever. She makes a shitload of money but she barely leaves her house and her little bubble of 4 people. She has all the opportunities in the world but she chooses to sit on her ass and be a slob for months on end. Even her own fans think she's boring. Not a mistake, you're just watching shitty people, OP. Just watch youtubers that actually put effort into their content, they do exist. Zoella is mindnumbingly lazy and boring to watch.

No. 178828

tbh I'm jelly of youtubers, they're living the dream and if they do it right they're essentially set for life.

I don't hate them for it though, it's the new medium. I see it as the next generations Reality Tv. Notice how all those shows about Z list celebrities don't exist anymore? It's because youtubers are the new teen hit.

Not everybody is the robot boogy man, I just think it is ridiculous that she earns four times more than me for doing nothing. Look at movie / tv stars - they spend months learning their lines and getting their bodies ready for show. On the day they spend hours in make up (depending on the roll of course).

Now look at Zoella's most profitable achievements:
>7 Second Challenge With Miranda Sings | Zoella (11 minutes)
>How well do we know each other | Zoella (10 minutes)
>Draw my life | zoella (6 minutes)
>"Most likely to" Sibling edition | Zoella (8 minutes)
Total views: 66 million 792 thousand (just those)
>On Average, content creators earn roughly $2-$3 per 1,000 views

So are you also mad at professional athletes too? Because if you're not, this isn't about income inequality, it's about you being hyper jelly about you not having that "it thing", a marketable factor.

No. 178837

No? I think you misread me. I was saying that stars put in a lot of effort for their roles and justify their income / respect. Professional athletes warrant it just as much

No. 178856

I mean you could make the same argument about boobylicious actresses that own 7 billion dollar mansions for pretending good on TV. At least YouTubers put out content that their viewers request and are considerably more helpful. It's unfair that they're making all that money but that's life.

Bitch, being cringeworthy in front of a camera in exchange of 50,000£/month is not a fucking job, whether you are a man or a woman. You don't need to be a robot to realize.

Are you retarded?

Professional athletes sacrifice shiton of time during their childhood and teenage years in order to get into the perfect physical condition to perform, instead of sitting all day long in front of their computers for years like fat cunts like you do. Often risking their health, also investing tons of money depending on the sport they practice. They often go throught serious injuries during their careers. How the fuck do you compare that to turning on a camera and acting retarded, then uploading it under some clickbait title for views?

What are you, some aspiring youtuber who's assblasted at being called out how much of fucking bullshit all this "business" is? I swear this site is getting full of underage scum.

This x1000. I hate that whole "but muhh NBA/NFL players make millions of dollars". These people are on the top of their sport and have to do gruesome trainings to maintain that shit. I think maybe MLB players are the only ones who get paid to little because the athleticism isn't really demanding for that sport

Why are you so mad? Just because I don't give a big shit about some random person making money?
A thread was put up to discuss opinions and you're sperging over not understanding why there is a demand for such content. Spoiler alert: it's the same reason people pay any mind to the Kardashians. People like to watch stupid shit. They ain't making any money off of me, so why do I give a shit?

People have been monetizing attention (and their god-given looks if they've got it) since humankind has been capable of circulating currency. Places like youtube and patreon just make the entire process more streamlined, and it's a natural consequence of the internet being integrated into daily life. Them selling their 'product' (video content, their beauty, etc.) is perfectly legal as long as they're not committing fraudulent scams on their audiences by using their fame.

If you're green enough to be bitter about pretty people monetizing their looks because these people don't 'deserve' it, go to the source (the people paying their way) and do something about them. Even though that's likely to be futile. All the youtuber does is soak up the cash like a sponge after establishing that audience. If they didn't have one, you wouldn't hear about them.

where does she say she earns £50,000 a month from youtube alone?
