20:23I didn't watch the big channels back then, I mostly watched AMVs and smaller creators
20:24i remember lootcrate and everyone on youtube being sponsored by them
20:25people do like to ear
20:29it was good but it couldn't last the patents expiring
20:32Even Vtubers gotta pay the rent
20:32I remember when GFuel was at its peak on relevance
20:37who wouldn't want to monetize honestly
20:38I hate the after taste I'd rather just drink the water

20:39It killed Donut for me
20:40Anyone complaining about corporate youtubers while being monetized really needs to look in the mirror
20:44why shouldn't you make money off of your effort
20:46There are degrees to it though.
20:46I was here when The Creatures were going to be the biggest group on YT. Then they imploded.
20:48if your good at somethiing, NEVER do it for free

20:52when people complain about corpo content I think they're mainly mad at how generic it is. Not that it's profit driven
20:53idk theres like being corpo and then selling out and that can be very subjective
20:53Jack made his money, only then did he complain
20:55algo-chasing just became more and more important to channels over the years. for good or bad
20:55People can choose to monetize and we can choose to spurn them for it
20:57oh man that's a throwback
20:58do you think mr beast does it souly for the money or is there any passion
20:59I remember GamerNuts was big
21:02AvE is the true based youtuber
21:03Without pretentiousness everything would be trash.
21:07Creators still gotta eat
21:07maybe, but corporate content IS pretentious
21:08It's not snobbery. Sanitized content displaces genuine content.
