Partnership?

Hello,

This isn't really a LP suggestion but anyway...

I think Damo should obtain a partnership for his channel.

Because he has 9000 Subs and 7 Million video views and a total of 2000+ video's so it should be quite easy!

What do you think?

I think damo2986 has said before that he has no interest in becoming a YouTube partner. I support his decision.

As for my personal opinion; I'm somewhat indifferent toward the whole partnership thing. I don't really care for it.

I respect your opinion but I think it would be quite nice for damo to get paid for what he love's to do.

He will also get a ton more attention which he clearly deserve's. I neither care for it but think it would be nice for Damo even though he isn't in it for the money I think it would be better because he spends a lot of money on game's so it would be nice for it.

Thanks for the reply.

I think this could cause quite a few problems. Many companies have put in place where you need their permission to make money of their content (EA did this with ME3 I believe) and it could cause unexpected problems, if he doesn't make money off his videos most companies won't really care.

there are advantages, such us the money and the flow of new subscribers, which ar both good. However, there might be some restrictions.

In the end, I personally think damo should consider this possibility. Iy might be better then it seems...or not.

It is not a good idea for any Let's Player to monetize their videos. It would make a touchy situation even worse, for any Let's Player. Let's get the facts straight. Let's Plays or borderline copyright infringement. Borderline meaning that we do this because we have fun doing it and entertaining people through the games we play, but it makes some companies feel uncomfortable having their content out there for people to see. Monetizing it would just go over the border and ruin the ability for anyone to do Let's Plays. If you plan on monetizing your videos, it should be totally original, not recorded from some video game. That's the way I feel about it.

I agree with Brian; this sort of thing could draw quite a bit of unwanted attention, why risk what is suposed to be a purely fun and entertaining endeavour?

Me and damo were talking about this a couple weeks back, and I have come to the conclusion that is there is to be a partnership at any time, it needs to be when damo's subscriber count (and views) are increasing at a more rapid rate.

You have a point regarding the unwanted attention. The problem is even without a partnership he could still be attacked with copyright claims however if he partner's with someone like Machinima they will usually protect him from Copyright.

And King I suppose he need's more sub's and view's increasing.

I would also be interested in livestream's if he is :D

An issue I see is that by being paid for the videos he uploads it almost obligates him to make these videos at a more rapid pace, that might cause Damo to lose interest in making videos because he is constantly required to update at a rate that satisfies others as oppose to a schedule that he can adhere to. But i'm just one person and my views have limited knowledge to support it.

I have been bouncing this idea about in my mind for the past few months but I still come to the conclusion that a partnership is just not for me. I don't want any additional copyright issues, I'm not really interested in getting paid for doing this, as some people have mentioned, some people would probably become more expectant for videos knowing I was getting paid. I would also hate people to think that I would be doing certain games because they are more popular and therefore mean more views thus money for me etc. I'm happy with my viewers and subscribers as they are so there is no real reason that I can think of to change things.

Alright Damo!

I love your video's and I was just thinking you deserve more views and subscriber's.

I already got all my friends to check out your video's and all of them love them!

Thanks anyway!
