Citation needed. Because there's countless Nintendo reviews and LPs videos in youtube last time I checked, with countless more being added every day.Strazdas said:Most channels dropped Nintendo content completely when Nintendo went insane.Davroth said:What I'm curious about, how do the other youtube channels that review and LP Nintendo games did it, even way before there was a partners program.
Unless by "Most" you actually meant "Some of the greediest youtube channels" of course. Those were the only ones who dropped Nintendo videos, and they were pretty few. Plenty of big channels decided "Ok, Nintedo's pretty damn popular, any videos we do about them are sure to get a crapload of views, so ok we'll share the ad money with the content creators".
Meanwhile the little dudes who don't monetarize their videos weren't affected at all. If anything, they got a chance to shine now that they don't have to compete with the greedy Joes of youtube.
I'm actually fine with this situation. It means people doing Nintendo LPs and reviews are doing it because they actually enjoy gaming, not just because they want easy money.
