>>20723615I can shit out a video in minutes and get a million views by the months end. My competitors in the niche ALL view bot (comments / view ratio is way fucking off), they all circle jerk each other and pass each other off to their audiences while all demonizing my content, and this kept going for every video game I jumped to, to the point where I hired private investigators and did my own sleuthing to find out who these jokers really are, and the results were wild.
I'm just a dude who likes video games and turned it into a profitable hobby making videos about games entering into what is basically an entire industry controlled from within by the game companies themselves. The MAJORITY of youtubers and streamers that dedicate themselves to one game are actually just stooges for the company. A few of them who "got in early" were hired by the company cause the company liked their content but these days most are hired 1-2 years before a game even launches to be groomed into pretending to be a youtuber or streamer to mould and shape the community the game wants to foster. In one game I play, that's a full loot PvP game, I got a 1 week ban just winning a fight against one of their "in house" employees. It's an open world MMO pvp game and I entered a dungeon the "streamer (AKA employee)" was in, who then flagged up and tried to fight me. I'm one of the wealthiest most geared players in the game so I beat his ass and his entire party. My actions were 100% allowed in the game and aren't bannable but because it was ME specifically and HIM specifically he rang up the devs and that was a 1 week ban. The community threw a fit, the jannies deleted all the threads that were FOR me and kept all the shit up that was AGAINST me. It's utterly disgusting and every single game company does this to "outsider" content creators that aren't on their payroll.
