Not sure if there was a thread on this but all it took to save the community was $12. Thanks Sal.

#17 Blatant cash grabs for Shoutcasting in TF2 General Discussion

Signed up just to support you. I'm definitely going to try this out and see the kind of response I get from my viewers. Editing/Animating is really time consuming so it would be really cool to get support for it.

all I can really say is the show isn't for everyone, from what I remember it stays at a relatively steady pace

#38 Youtube in Off Topic
SalamancerThat's what I was thinking of, YouTube partnership. I am pretty sure I can nab that without the Machinima deal - and no, Machinima doesn't take 30% from me, they pay me a flat $2 per 1000 views. The difference works out to about 50% if my analysis is correct.

You're somewhat correct about the TF2 market - I would need to get a lot more views per video to make it work. Comp TF2 is certainly a fairly small subset, but folks like Stabby and STAR have shown that the pub tf2 market is much larger. Shoutcasts really only appeal to comp TF2 most of the time, so I will have to find a way to appeal to that pub market. MVM vids, for example, seem like they could work... but I'll keep throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. I just don't want to spend hours on the editing process - shoot, render, upload is all I want to be doing.

once you get stuff in order with your new job try making a few videos and doing scheduled uploads and maybe letting your subs know which day(s) of the week they can expect a video from you. You could also try hiring a slave worker to do all the hard work for you like extine does with luckyluke. Without luke the extv channel wouldn't even be half as big as it is.

#33 Youtube in Off Topic
SalamancerThanks so much for the helpful post. I've emailed Machinima already, looking to end the contract.

I may experiment with more vids again, including shoutcasts. I can't make any promises about coming back out of retirement because I've applied to a new job that will be far more stressful... but I want to see just how well I can really do. If the money is good enough, it will entice me to keep churning out good content. And yes, in a sense it's about the money. I won't go back to giving up a sizeable chunk of my social life and travel plans for low pay, as much as I do love TF2.

Edit: If it's just Adsense alone, then yeah, not worth it at all. The big bucks come from the video ads and other auctioned content, so unless I can hold onto those, I'll have to keep the Machinima thing and stay hidden in retirement land.

tbh the tf2 community isn't big enough for you to pull it off, you won't get the viewer base to earn a decent amount unless you upload consistently for a very long time like extv did. I think under most contracts machinima takes a 30% cut from your earnings at least that is how my 3 year contract with them was set up, that rate probably changed because there was another pay cut at the beginning of this year.

For those who don't know, all machinima does is own rights to upload and monetize content from a large library of video games and they use that to hook up growing channels that have a shot at making it big but will never actually get partnership on their own because they don't own rights to upload content from video games. That is why all of these call of duty commentators split with machinima once their channels get big enough to be recognized by Youtube as potential partnership material. Youtube has raised the bar quite a bit when it comes to partnerships especially with gaming channels. You will make pennies from adsense if you don't have a full partnership, I'm quite sure that just adsense alone gives you little to nothing for ads in comparison to full yt partnership but if you're partnered under machinima they're going to take most of your shit anyway. All the ad earnings go to them and they send you a direct deposit of your earnings after they take their cut. According to the higher-up admin I'm not allowed to share this info with anyone but whatever, I plan on cancelling my contract with macinima anyway. As for the guy saying they put you on long term or life contracts, its not like that maybe it is for the bigger channels but the usual contract is for 3 years and you can cancel whenever you want but I'm sure they trap channels that are growing rapidly. They're leeching off of the hard work of all these small channels, one channel alone probably doesn't make a difference but when you have hundreds of thousands of these yt channels you're getting a 30% cut from... it adds up.

audiehe just wants a mentor guys

I did my part in linking him to a good mentor, but other players like redd and phobia who aren't up to caliber with the mentor I linked felt the need to put him down to make themselves feel better. They're bullies.

Comangliaikpureyou know im bout that cait carry
I just unsubscribed from your youtube channel just because of this thread.

Also pls help this guy find a mentor to many douchebag trolls trying to bring him down.

You unsubscribed because I posted how he could get in contact with a great player who could've helped this guy step his game up just like he was asking for? Great logic, please tell the other 4,000 of them to unsubscribe as well. I don't deserve all the support. I am a terrible human being. I would like to publicly apologize to bape on behalf of the tftv community. I am so sorry bape, sorry you have to constantly put up with idiots like redd, phobia, devon and many others who contribute nothing positive to this wonderful community and do nothing but put down wonderful people like you who are willing to step up and mentor others out of the kindness of their hearts. If the community goes to shit these despicable players are solely to blame.
