CGR is leaving Youtube

[Erik_Twice]

Can someone please link me to a few examples (just a few) of youtubers who have unjustifiably lost everything due to this policy change and have not been able to post their content elsewhere? The people who's livelihood has been destroyed by this because they in no way can go to a new site and their fans will never be able to find them again?

This is like saying I shouldn't complain my house was destroyed in a fire because if I'm rich enough I can just buy another.

Having your work of years on Youtube dissapear overnight is a bad thing. Being forced to host your own videos is an incredibly bad thing, adding a new barrier of entry is also a bad thing and being forced to leave the most popular site on the planet is a huge blow.


Also, lol at "Luke" and "the numbers are faked".

Never said they were fake you simpleton,I said they can easily be exaggerated.

There's a whole lot of nothing being typed by people who clearly haven't bothered to listen to any of the information provided in this thread about the issue at hand.

(LINK) Check the number of views listed next to each video thumbnail. They're congruent with the number of subscribers. The subscribers are irrelevant, anyway; the views are the numbers influencing revenue.

(LINK) This was already posted, but has been ignored, I'm sure. It clearly outlines all of the issues being experienced by youtubers.

(LINK) This was just posted in this thread three days ago, and explains EXACTLY what this bot is doing. It's not simply a "policy."


I also enjoy the holiday spirit that is being expressed in this thread: 'No one should get his 'til I get mine!'

Classic Game Room is back on Youtube as of today. Not exactly sure how or why but they are back with N64 week.

Meh, I stopped watching when he left Youtube, and I find I don't miss it.

Yeah, this.

He made an enemy of me recently by bashing Target Earth.

Not really, I still enjoy his lighthearted impressions once in a while. It's a stretch to call them reviews though.

I hate to admit it, especially as the op but I third this.

I'm glad they're back...
