Hi, I'm Guillermo Arduino

00:00:03.245 --> 00:00:04.245
And this is Pew News

00:00:04.245 --> 00:00:07.180
Welcome to the channel, sorry about the screaming man.

00:00:07.180 --> 00:00:09.180
I hope you have a nice time reading my subtitles, you should find me in the comment section somewhere.

00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:11.180
Oh, look at that! The video is longer than 10 minutes this time!

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.680
Welcome to Pew News!

00:00:17.685 --> 00:00:20.815
The most legitimate news source on the entire internet

00:00:20.815 --> 00:00:23.785
You might as well put this news iiiiiin

00:00:23.785 --> 00:00:26.755
the dictionary because it's SO. LEGIT.

00:00:26.755 --> 00:00:29.655
just spit 'da truth'

00:00:29.725 --> 00:00:32.985
On da 'Poo News'.

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:36.620
The first story comes from.... 'Bloomberg' ... (???)

00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:42.315
A wOnDeRfUlLy wRiTtEn ArTiClE about displayed YouTube (the almighty) and as always

00:00:42.315 --> 00:00:45.285
in the most "accurate" way possibe!

00:00:45.285 --> 00:00:48.295
The title reads as follows: Success on YouTube

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.700
still means a life of poverty. (yeah totally)

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:54.760
"Wow! I'd best be clickin' on this!" I'm joking of course

00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:57.300
this is clickbait but nonono it's not, aight? (I don't even know anymore)

00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.375
A vlogger in the top 3 percent might

00:01:00.375 --> 00:01:03.355
get more than 1.4 million views a month (more than you, pewds?)

00:01:03.355 --> 00:01:04.355
Dayum!

00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.680
Das LOW! (O shit burrnnnnn)

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.900
I think when I quit youtube to do full time

00:01:09.815 --> 00:01:12.805
Euhhhhhhhh I had about 17 million views a month

00:01:12.805 --> 00:01:15.755
But arguably, things are different now,,, there's-

00:01:15.755 --> 00:01:18.755
There's more ways to monetize your content,

00:01:18.755 --> 00:01:21.765
There's Patreon (get him that Lamborghini) there's donations, there's uhhhhhh

00:01:21.765 --> 00:01:24.435
sponsorships, there's... All these kinds of

00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:27.465
things that matter more these days than just

00:01:27.465 --> 00:01:30.335
your average-- how many views do you get per month.

00:01:30.335 --> 00:01:32.995
The article reads as follows:

00:01:32.995 --> 00:01:35.935
"Do your children dream of YouTube stardom? Do them a favour:

00:01:35.940 --> 00:01:38.940
CRUSH THAT AMBITION NOW."

00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:41.945
*giggle giggle* to be honest, I 100% agree.

00:01:41.945 --> 00:01:44.945
But also, at the same time,

00:01:44.945 --> 00:01:47.895
look at any other entertainment industry. What is really your

00:01:47.895 --> 00:01:51.025
top chances of breaking into that? Isn't it really

00:01:51.025 --> 00:01:54.045
a dream?? An unacheivable goal??? o.0

00:01:54.045 --> 00:01:56.905
It certainly was for when I started YouTube, I---it-----I

00:01:56.905 --> 00:01:59.595
It seemed impossible. (back to the article) "In fact,

00:01:59.595 --> 00:02:01.795
96.5% of all those trying to

00:02:01.795 --> 00:02:04.905
become YouTubers won't make enough money off of advertising

00:02:04.905 --> 00:02:07.545
to crack the U.S. poverty line,

00:02:07.545 --> 00:02:10.315
According to research by Mathias Bärtl,"

00:02:10.465 --> 00:02:12.865
What does the numbers mean?,,,

00:02:13.015 --> 00:02:15.275
J̶a̶s̶o̶n Bärtl... Mathias,

00:02:15.275 --> 00:02:17.255
Whatever your name is

00:02:17.255 --> 00:02:17.855
*cackling a cold, hard cackle as if he'd just roasted someone so hard they fucking burnt to death*

00:02:17.855 --> 00:02:21.055
You can't just take a percentage, and not tell us

00:02:21.055 --> 00:02:23.585
what numbers you took that from! (that's plagarism!)

00:02:23.585 --> 00:02:26.495
Did you take every single person that has a YouTube account?

00:02:26.495 --> 00:02:29.285
Because then, yes! 3% might seem small,

00:02:29.285 --> 00:02:32.165
But it's also massive! Did you pin it down to people that

00:02:32.165 --> 00:02:35.075
have actually uploaded ONE video on the platform or

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.160
one per month, perhaps, or maybe one per year orrrrr

00:02:38.220 --> 00:02:40.860
How consistent do we have to be to be part of the study?

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:43.580
Or maybe you didn't 'pin it down' at all

00:02:43.585 --> 00:02:46.255
and you just literally took every single person on

00:02:46.255 --> 00:02:49.035
the website, regardless of whether they upload videos or not

00:02:49.035 --> 00:02:51.925
We don't know! So the 3% ... I'm sorry,

00:02:51.925 --> 00:02:55.045
It doesn't matter! The study is useless!

00:02:55.045 --> 00:02:58.135
You've basically proven nothing. Unless you

00:02:58.135 --> 00:03:00.055
tell us where you got the numbers from!

00:03:00.055 --> 00:03:02.815
Despite YouTube lately being

00:03:02.815 --> 00:03:05.395
like a black hole ;) getting sucked in on

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.860
itself lately... it is still

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:11.575
one of the best, if not the best place to monetize your content

00:03:11.575 --> 00:03:14.475
When vine went down (RIP in piece) all the vine stars

00:03:14.475 --> 00:03:17.495
went to YouTube (ask the Cheese of Truth for more details)

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:18.800
Or at least the ones that managed to get successful did.

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.740
I'm talking about you, Piques... hehehe

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:22.120
hELl nO !!1!!!11!!

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.940
Viners went to youtube because

00:03:23.945 --> 00:03:26.775
YouTube is one of the best places to monetize your content

00:03:26.775 --> 00:03:29.095
You have people literally own social networks

00:03:29.095 --> 00:03:31.945
where they don't get any ad revenue,

00:03:31.945 --> 00:03:35.035
like Instagram (@tragic_triggers),,, you just exclude their income completely

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:36.700
from having sponsorships.

00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:38.780
Bloomberg? *mmm pop*

00:03:39.320 --> 00:03:42.100
It is mentioned, I think, briefly somewhere I don't see it.

00:03:42.105 --> 00:03:45.055
They also calculate here they-tha-theee

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:46.940
income of $1

00:03:46.940 --> 00:03:50.600
for every thousand views, which is pretty terrible even for

00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:52.780
my low revenue standards. (Haha yeah sure, Pewds.)

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:56.735
Even I got a little shoutout in this video! Thank you, Buttsburg! tHaNk yOu!

00:03:56.735 --> 00:03:59.635
(back to article) Gaming YouTubers - such as 28-year-old

00:03:59.635 --> 00:04:01.785
Felix "Papa-Pewds" Kjelberg,

00:04:01.785 --> 00:04:04.315
who has 60 million subscribers - have a

00:04:04.315 --> 00:04:07.245
14 times better chance than traditional vloggers

00:04:07.245 --> 00:04:09.555
who often upload to the People & Vlogs

00:04:09.555 --> 00:04:11.315
category on YouTube"

00:04:11.315 --> 00:04:14.255
That's right everybody, my channel is filled with gaming content!

00:04:14.255 --> 00:04:17.425
As proved here by Bloomberg!

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.880
Check out my gaming videos guys I think you'll really enjoy them

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:23.460
I think it's interesting how the media

00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:26.435
has presented this idea that YouTubers earn so much money

00:04:26.435 --> 00:04:29.505
Any time I'm discussing with the media, every single

00:04:29.505 --> 00:04:32.535
time I get the question, " Hey Felix, so how much

00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:35.220
money do you make?" and I always say

00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:38.740
"Well, that's none of your business, but it's a damn lot."

00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:40.320
I'm joking.

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:42.500
I think it is an interesting conversation now,

00:04:42.505 --> 00:04:45.335
speaking about last episode

00:04:45.340 --> 00:04:47.860
when we discussed how Fiverr

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:51.080
there's no real job guarantee and safety-net

00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:53.060
for working through these websites.

00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:57.440
Yes, YouTube is an amazing platform for you to monetize your content and create your own business,

00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:00.055
but it's not like a traditional job

00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:03.400
And it probably shouldn't even be looked at in that sense.

00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:05.800
Yes, you don't get healthcare

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.460
Yes, you have to work insane hours and you make up your own time

00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:15.200
And uhh, yes you don't have any form of job safety and it's really all up to you.

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:17.940
But it's also... a great oppourtunity.

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.520
"And you were also involved in the YouTube demotisation wave

00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:24.475
after that 'poodeepie' cocksucker

00:05:24.475 --> 00:05:27.195
decided it was a good idea to use the n-word (O yeah that did happen...)

00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:29.180
Oh video game streams"

00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:33.100
Joe Rogan! Please, Joe, please!

00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:34.085
*another psychotic giggle, please get him to a mental asylum before he kills Brad and Brad #2*

00:05:34.085 --> 00:05:37.085
I may be a cocksucker, Joe. You got me there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

00:05:37.085 --> 00:05:39.460
But I didn't create the adpocolypse

00:05:39.460 --> 00:05:42.975
This is a common misconception that happens all the time

00:05:42.975 --> 00:05:45.635
and I thought, why not take--

00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:48.255
take a moment now, and explain to everyone

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.880
why I didn't create the adpocalypse.

00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:54.460
(In the 16th century, blasphemy was a worse crime than murder. Look it up.)

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:57.260
I understand that it's easy to project your

00:05:57.465 --> 00:06:00.485
feelings of anger into ideas that

00:06:00.485 --> 00:06:02.980
are not consistent with reality.

00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:06.300
I'll take the punch. I get it. Whatever makes you feel better.

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:07.820
Whatever makes you sleep at night.

00:06:07.820 --> 00:06:10.060
But I keep seeing it so let's discuss it.

00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:14.120
"DiSnEy sErVeRs TiEs WiTh yOuTuBe sTaR pEwDiEpIe aFtEr AnTi-SeMeTiC-"

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.200
FUNNY VIDEOS!

00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:16.420
Just kidding.

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:20.360
I lost a show, that I worked on that nearly killed me *snickers* (get some nuts)

00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.100
I've never been more depressed in my life while shooting that

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:28.060
And I lost, uhh, 'Google Prefered' (TF is that) which I honestly had no idea I was even in to begin with

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:29.220
So it wasn't like

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:30.900
"Aww damn"

00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:36.220
If anything the whole situation sucked for everyone else around me that got dragged into this

00:06:36.220 --> 00:06:38.340
That weren't really highlighted.

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.580
People associate this article to somehow creating the adpocalypse,

00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:46.080
or at least being part of the next stepping stone.

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.240
When OHNONO, it's not true! Let's look at the facts here, guys.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.900
Only the facts on Poo News, thank you.

00:06:52.900 --> 00:06:54.875
It was the-- what was it?

00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:58.540
London Times? Back in 'March 17'

00:06:58.540 --> 00:06:59.140
posted:

00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:02.720
"YouTube hate preachers share screens with household names"

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.020
And they have this video with a bunch of hate preach

00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:09.480
And it being displayed with advertising content

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.140
This inevitably lead to Wall Street Journal dipping their toes into the issue as well,

00:07:14.140 --> 00:07:16.040
on March the 24th

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:21.940
"Google's YouTube Has Continued Showing Brands' Ads With Racist and Other Objectional Videos"

00:07:21.940 --> 00:07:25.200
None of my videos were involved in any of these articles.

00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.520
This was about extremist content, ISIS videos,

00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:31.860
political hate preach, etc. etc.

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.200
Right after, same day,

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:39.200
"YouTube is facing a full-scale advertising boycott over hate speech"

00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:47.840
Companies like PepsiCo, Walmart, Dish, Starbucks, and GM pulled out their advertising, joining a group of dozens of companies.

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:55.060
Starting with Europe, which then lead to America joining in as well with AT&T and Verizon pulling ads as well

00:07:55.060 --> 00:08:00.000
This is what lead to a decrease of ads on YouTube for a brief period of time

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.620
And at the same time YouTube had to create with a new system

00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:10.000
uh, to show advertisers that "yes, we are working on these issues to make sure that this doesn't happen again."

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.460
Now, ads showing up on content that it shouldn't belong at isn't a new thing.

00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:17.580
It happens a lot of times, maybe ads show up on porn

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:21.300
Or ads showing up just anywhere where the advertiser probably wouldn't be happy to see.

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:23.300
(SPOILER:) Companies are companies!

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.520
They're not moral beings.

00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:33.280
They pull out of this advertisement, not for the sake of being manipulated by the media, orr,,,

00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:36.380
Having some sort of bigger moral idea about it

00:08:36.380 --> 00:08:40.860
A lot of advertisers pulled out just so they could hurt Google in the process (Kinda like Brexit)

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:46.180
You have companies like Verizon which is one of the biggest spenders on advertisement online

00:08:46.180 --> 00:08:49.020
which pulled out during this adpocalypse

00:08:49.020 --> 00:08:51.940
And Verizon owns Yahoo (it's so dead though)

00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:55.060
Of course these companies benefited from this move.

00:08:55.060 --> 00:08:59.060
They can basically negotiate for better, uhh, pricing as well.

00:08:59.060 --> 00:09:00.540
Along with TV networks

00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:03.940
using this as an opportunity to hopefully pull more

00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:07.940
ads back into TV which they have been losing out on for so long.

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:13.280
"Publishers that are using this for their agenda, you know there's advertisers like AT&T and Verizon,

00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:15.300
All the telecom guys that have pulled out

00:09:15.300 --> 00:09:18.600
You know, this is not just because 'oh, my ads got, you know,

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.840
are on bad content,' these people want a piece of this business"

00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:22.360
-"Absolutely"

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.820
-"So everybody, you know,

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:27.960
has their motivation for going after Google on this, everyone wants the money"

00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.900
-"Everybody wants a piece of that Google Pie"

00:09:29.900 --> 00:09:34.180
It's pretty shortsighted to say that this whole thing happened because of some sort of moral cause,,,

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:36.400
Even though, yes it was a bad thing.

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:37.100
BUT!

00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:40.900
It's even more shortsighted to put the blame on me for it.

00:09:40.900 --> 00:09:43.140
Even though it might make you feel better.

00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:45.380
I honestly wouldn't mind taking the blame for it,

00:09:45.380 --> 00:09:48.140
I just don't think it is true..

00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:52.000
And you might say "Well maybe, Pewds, you were part of the puzzle, you know?"

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.140
"It started off with you, and then all the media started criticising YouTube"

00:09:56.140 --> 00:10:00.060
And I think 'yes! But how the heck is that my fault?"

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.960
Maybe if YouTube weren't so reactionary to all these issues,,,

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:06.440
NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE EVEN HAPPENED!

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.420
Or at least the effect would have been less...

00:10:08.420 --> 00:10:11.380
YouTube is taking over all media:

00:10:11.380 --> 00:10:14.220
"YouTube Tops 1 Billion Hours of Video a Day" (damn)

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:16.940
YouTube is taking the ads away from TV,

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:18.460
that TV dollar

00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:20.800
It's only a matter of time, really, at this point.

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:25.140
But the real question is 'How is YouTube going to shape into what it becomes?' (3deep5you)

00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:27.920
In the previous article we talked about the Boogersburg thing

00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:32.320
They mention that it's even harder for smaller creators now because

00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.120
you have to have at least 4 thousand hours your videos

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.960
Aaaand 1 thousand subscribers to get ads on your content.

00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.340
It might seem like a punch in the gut for small creators,

00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:44.740
but for everyone on the platform, it's a great thing

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:48.740
so hopefully, this whole fiasco doesn't happen again.

00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:50.840
NOW ON THE NEXT NEWS!

00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.215
I have my own merch! Have you checked it out yet?

00:10:54.215 --> 00:10:55.360
Thank you..

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.720
You can go to represent.com/pewdiepie to get one of the

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.800
CAN YOU DO THIS??™ MERCH

00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:04.915
That's right, you want some dead memes on your  ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶ on your shirt?

00:11:04.915 --> 00:11:06.340
Of course you do!

00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:07.960
What else are you going to wear?

00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.120
In probably more exciting news, me and Marzia launched our own clothing brand

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.620
which is not merch

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.120
We wanted to do something of higher quality,,,

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.280
we wanted to make it as ethical as possible,,,

00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:22.000
and well-designed.

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.340
Aeuhhh, all the items are custom-fitted which is a much higher price than what people are used to in the merch

00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:28.180
We sold out our first line.

00:11:28.180 --> 00:11:30.995
And we couldn't be happier with all the responses, it's been amazing!

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.940
You can still pre-order for the next 8 weeks,

00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:36.795
for it to arrive, you can,,,

00:11:36.795 --> 00:11:39.405
If you missed out, you can still order.

00:11:39.405 --> 00:11:43.740
So please still do, because it helps us out a lot and support our dream of making this clothing brand!

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:44.580

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:47.660
That was it for this week's Puke News!

00:11:47.660 --> 00:11:52.020
My name is Guillermo -----

00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:53.940
