@shanehawkk no we don't do we? How hard could it be for someone who really wants to get rid of the Prince to coordinate that killing? Does the prince have personal full 100% control over what goes on in everyone of his consulates around the world? Those people who killed the journalist, where did they go after the killing? Why would anyone think the Prince can be so careless to not worry what people might think?
@yukiame and there are kids every day who start live streaming their iphones and samsungs (linus tech tips, marquees brownlee, unboxtherapy, etc) and they don't affect me one bit. They don't even remotely one bit cannibalize what I do. I often am even at the same trade shows where they're at and their videos might get millions of views and I might get a few thousand views per video in average, it doesn't affect what I do. My views are still doubling every year.
@yukiame and you'd think YouTube is too huge, it's the worlds biggest website in terms of bandwidth, traffic and probably even in terms of storage. But I believe YouTube is not even 1% of its potential, basically all the worlds people will soon stop watching anything else and soon YouTube will become 90% of what everybody will be watching. Because YouTube will basically have all the worlds content and YouTube will be the de-facto best way to absorb and consume any information and any content.
@yukiame I don't worry one bit about competition, nobody can copy what I do. I've been doing this for 15 years now. Proof is my YouTube statistics are doubling still every year. YouTube is overall still significantly growing it's viewing statistics not just in their crazy huge amount of views but in the amount of Billions of hours that people watch on YouTube per month. There are more people interested in seeing behind the scenes of how technology is made and I'm the best at filming that.
@yukiame and there will be more competition, sure. Every single piece of movie and TV show content will instantly become available on YouTube, probably that all competition like Netflix, Amazon Prime will eventually give up and just also add all their content onto YouTube because it would be crazy for them to voluntarily say no to all this amazing YouTube monetization that will be available. Amazon Prime and Netflix will still exist but they will re-post everything to YouTube also.
@yukiame and if I got 1000 members within the near future, it'll allow me to attend many more events, more trade shows, with no need to seek any sponsor every time. This would significantly improve the quality of my content so quickly. Having to manually add Amazon affiliate links to video descriptions is 100x less efficient than if YouTube would add that functionality automatically and overlaid on top of every video. They can monetize YouTube 100x better if they just cared.
@yukiame YouTube has a potential to monetize its network 100x better overnight. They only need to add stuff like Memberships, Sponsorships (so anyone can sponsor any video itself directly to be featured in the top-sponsor list per video/channel), YouTube channels need Donate buttons right there next to view count too. And most importantly they need to auto-integrate commission based monetization where viewers can one-click buy any relevant product. That would 10x increase monetization on YT.
@yukiame I'm not changing the rate at which I publish my videos, I got a huge backlog and that's been like that for years now. I always film like 80 videos at trade show like CES there is no way that I can publish them all during the show. So it's great I can let members have instant access to my videos, I had about 300 members about 3-4 years ago when I had this membership system just on my wordpress blog. So my hope is to get 3-4x more members soon now that it's working on YouTube directly.
@yukiame Google's monetized the web pretty well by a few Trillion dollars thus far. If only YouTube would care to monetize itself to its fullest potential, it would make 10x or 100x more/better content more viable online. Which woul be quite revolutionary. The monetization features are being added slowly.
@yukiame Holy shit this guy is awesome thanks for the link. I am watching this at the Kebab store instead of publishing the tons of videos that I have filmed today at Photokina.
