iSupport wrote A lot of people complain, but I bet we all would do the same if we were in his shoes. Imagine you made money from TTG threads.

I'm 16, but yeah. That's not the point; he can just post one video covering all of the content. YouTube isn't supposed to be a job, a way of sharing content and enjoying it. He's just greedy for money. He doesn't post because he wants to, he posts because he knows hes going to get payed. And that isn't how YouTube is supposed to be. And tbh, I would make '1 video' covering everything. You get more respect that way, and it's less time consuming.

That's the kind of thing Next Gen Tactic's do, for thing's like Zombies Easter Egg's, they split what could be one video (step-by-step guide) in to 10-20 tutorial videos.

They're all out to make money, view's is what's going to get them money, it's understandable. But annoying. Ali-A's just trying to make a living.

It's kinda annoying that it can't just be one video for all of them, but I understand why he does it, even though to us it's wrong that he is doing that for more money, money is money, and if you can easily make more by doing that then why not.

On the outside its easy to say "does he even realize hes doing the same exact thing as everyone else?".Of course he does, but as you said , money is money.And I would do the same thing if I had these 12 year olds hooked on my youtube drug.

Finally someone with some common sense!

If you upload videos and get paid for it, you don't deserve to be called a money ****** unless your pumping out bad videos left and right ...

Here is where my view on this topic. And this I feel goes back to the viewer, because would you rather watch a 30 minute video over just a few little things? or would you rather watch 6 videos, and in between the videos you can watch other people's YT channel. I mean I know that I would rather want to do the second option.

But really Ali-A has made a name for himself as a guy that brings us COD news, updates, and other stuff related to Call of Duty. If you really do not like him. He is not forcing you to watch his videos.

And if you want to talk about a money-whore. Look at Whiteboy7thstreet. He makes more money than Ali-A and worse videos(depending on who you talk to)

Take the money side away from YouTube and then see how much they actually care about their "fans" for a few months, this would be really interesting if YouTube actually did this.

I used to enjoy watching old school CoD gameplays/commentaries. Back when there was Grizz/xJawz etc.. It's all just ruined now, it's not the same community and everything is about Youtube money which is ridiculous.

I can agree. It's weird because I've spoken with a lot of the supposed "money wh*res" on youtube before and had casual sit down talks with them. You'd be surprised how many people in scenarios like this want to take their time and run down everything about one topic, not for the money.

But on the other hand, it's the same way, you wouldn't believe how many people do it just for the money. Night and day in terms of the community. Some of these personas you see are absolutely amazing people, and some are the worst you'll ever meet. And for this topic, didn't hear it from me, but Ali-A is the latter of the two I just described (atleast from my few conversations with him).
