YouTube adventures -82- Demonetized

I think most people that are active on YouTube would like to earn some money with their channel. We can't all be succesful but I know that there are several people that have become very succesful with their YouTube channel. YouTube was a place where you could almost say and do whatever you wanted, of course nothing too crazy but at least it wasn't some childish bullshit that if you say the word bullshit you could already get...

Demonetized!

 My channel is just a hobby, I earn nothing with this nor do I have the intention to earn money with my channel. But if I did wanted to earn money with it then I know that I would be in a lot of trouble. Mostly because I'm not exactly super friendly in my videos. I will say bad words and I can be quite agressive in some videos. I mean I'm Royal Daemon, if I was such a great guy I would've called myself super duper good dude (or something like that). I would never be able to earn anything with my videos, I mean even if I had the views up then I would still have the issue of the things I say in some of my videos. I'm not saying that I'm a total douchebag in each video but there are moments that I say bad words. Which is only natural in my opinion, unfortunately YouTube thinks differently...

So imagine that you have a succesful channel, you earn some money with and everything is fine. But then one day the big bad YouTube comes knocking on your door and says that your videos are against their new rules and that your channel will be demonetized because of the things you say or do in those videos. This isn't just lame but also cuts deeply into the freedom of the creators on YouTube. If you're a grumpy person and will sometimes say a bad word you suddenly have to pretend you're super friendly and never get mad? I mean seriously? Is it expected that we have to be super nice and never ever say a bad word? Maybe some people are like that but I'm pretty certain that the majority will use a bad word every now and then. It's only natural and taking that away from people makes the videos less natural and more fabricated. They're no longer real and people can't express themselves as they truly are.

Maybe what I'm saying sounds like bullshit but honestly this is just how it starts, by making everything that only slightly hints towards something bad already forbidden. Everything will be checked and before you know it we have lametube, the place where only not funny and super polite videos are placed. Ok maybe that's too much but honestly I do worry what this means for the future of some channels. I've already seen a decrease of videos on some channels. People that just feel like they can't do their thing on YouTube and they want to move to another place, for example Twitch. Because if YouTube doesn't allow people to do their thing then people will move on to something else and I don't think that will be good for the future of YouTube. Let be people who they want to be, as long as it's of course not too crazy.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
