Make no mistake, YouTube is an entire side industry to Hollywood and much bigger than the traditional mediums of television and movie. Companies devoted solely to producing YouTube vids and trying to make viral videos - have a friend who has worked for a couple of them over in LA and even 1 million views for a video is a huge deal. It's definitely an exploitable industry and does happen. YouTube have complete control over top search matches and order displayed content, featured content etc. No doubt there's a pay off for investing in buying likes and views, but nowhere near striking it lucky with a niche that spreads like word of mouth. A lot of those kids have had producers approach them and offer to manage etc., some of them have got where they are by having people invest in their character/personality. Bieber is a good example - started uploading cover vids, got heaps of views, music producers took notice and got on board to invest in him.

Haha. That's the same as sports stars and movie stars and tv celebrities though. We only see the ones who make it and for every one who does there's 5000 wannabes who don't. They either have something special or have put in the hard yards to self promote and probably earned it. But most get lucky off the right formula - someone has to be the most viewed right? Number of kids I see on cod with a YouTube channel as their emblem trying to get views and make money is ridiculous,

True dat

lol I have a deer hunter game that wants $20 real money for $20,000 hypothetical money (enough to buy one special gun) that would otherwise take you 20 minutes to save up for with in game playing. Is this the modern equivalent of buying a cheat code magazine / game guide?

If that actually happened, it's an indirect certainty. Companies pull out of google advertising due to lack of leads generated, google pays less per view, amount paid to youtuber per viewing goes down.

There's that pewdiepie South Park ep coming to mind again, about people watching people play games grrr

I don't think there are any games that attempt to prey on people buying into their storylines as real life events, or many gamers for that matter who think that real life would be exactly as it's portrayed in their games. Gaming is also an active engagement, rather than a passive one, so rather than buying into a supposed true story that is actually obviously fake...you're part of the creation of it...a producer of sorts.

It's easier for someone to watch tv on a couch and pretend it's the truth than to actively live the life Producers and marketers take advantage of the idea that most reality tv viewers are happy to live vicariously through others, ignorantly watching on and being told how it is

Bet they won't make VW owners pay for their emissions tests Sucks that we get a tune that makes the car more efficient and less polluting and get defected for it lol

There is no actual reality tv because reality tv was boring, it was watching boring people do boring things with other boring people, no matter how well they auditioned it. Even if a show is not scripted, and most of them are, they are storyboarded and edited to buggery and people are told how to act and react, retakes are done over and over. The successful formula these days seems to be a contest/judged shit where 90% of the show is a long drawn out cliffhanger wait for the judge's decision like they have to really think hard whether they like what they see/eat/hear. This seems to exist solely for promotions and ad cuts. The other 10% is product placement. tl;dr nothing on tv or the internet or radio or in newspapers is real
