What are the requirements to be eligible for payment from Youtube?

Could one possibly live off of videos (if one dedicates himself to it)?

Yeah. There's a blogger called Charles Trippy, he does a video of his day every day, has about 120,000 subs which net him that amount of views per day.

Pro Gamers get paid for playing in competitions, you are getting paid basically because a lot of people viewed you video. Hardly a Pro. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if someone only watches a few seconds of a video, it counts as a view.

I wouldn't be suprisied if the money is shit.

I got that for like 5 or 6 vids but I didn't actually make any of them so I'm not getting into it for legal reasons

you're the naab

someone that's a pro gamer is paid and lives professionally from gaming and competitions

you're getting paid a minimal rate because you're basically ad-revenue for youtube

doesn't involve a modicum of skill or ability in 'gaming', therefore you are not a 'pro' gamer

Still you've got to hand it to him for getting so many views though!

I think I'm going to invest more time into making interesting videos.

What's more popular? Shows where you talk about games and give opinions and stuff, tutorials, frag footage or critics?

Seriously, he took almost 3 years to get enough viewers for this. You think he's going to get enough views per day to actually make anything worth having?

Plus, video's are now old, BF2 is pretty dead. What else are you going to make videos from?


I think i might be mixing my replies between shitty and irish..
