Youtube Partnerships for All!

 In a recent blog by YouTube Creator they announced that effective immediately (in selected countries) that partnership status is now granted after you successfully monetize one video. This is an amazing thing for small channels, in the past you needed to have a certain size (around 1k subscriptions) before partnership was offered.

What this means to you:
Basically, lets say you recorded a super hilarious video of your cat doing something like this.

Well now you could immediately create a new Youtube account, monetize the video and link it to your ad-sense. If your video went viral or was popular you would immediately reap the rewards of it.

The Bad News:
Unfortunately, the main perks to being a Youtube Partner were that you could add a banner to your channel, and most importantly select the thumbnail you wanted from your video. The Thumbnail is one of the most immortant parts of a video sadly, people do judge a book by its cover and all the new Youtube partners will be stuck with the old system for now, so the partnership is really like being a Youtube Partner-Lite.

All and all this is an amazing step forward for small time Youtubers, such as myself.

Blogging and Youtubing New Year Retrospective

Happy New Year everyone! As I am approaching 100 subscribers I thought I would reflect on the past couple of months. After on a whim deciding and picking a name and starting my blog I released that most people that actually read what little I write don't really follow Starcraft, which makes my blogs title somewhat redundant. I choose the name because it rhymed even though it was grammatically incorrect. I also found that while I still love Starcraft, when writing I prefer to talk about current events or what I have been up to in real life. After some thinking I decided to put the bulk of my Starcraft content in video format for my youtube channel I think this is a better medium, since video games are a visual thing themselves video works a lot better than text. 

Some quick thoughts on youtube, its a lot harder to get subscribers than on blog sites. Most people will sub to you on blogs if you comment on them, even if they don't follow you just as a courtesy, on youtube its a lot harder subs but a lot easier to get views naturally. Every time I get a new sub on youtube I smile, new subs on blog doesnt really excite me as much, but for blogs its more about the comments you receive because you know at least they have glanced at your page, even if it was just to say "cute kitty"

 

In some world News:  Aussie woman survives bungie jump cord break into crocodile infested water.

And in Starcraft News:

Merry Christmas! I got...friendzoned by a bank scam email?!

Sofia I trusted you! Women honestly they expect you to save them from their uncles assassinating them, handle their 5.6million dollars and they expect you to just be friends and have a platonic relationship after going through so much together?!

Since I have nothing else to do, I did a dramatic reading of it on my Youtube Channel 
hope you guys find it amusing.

Please subscribe to me too =)

Justine - Amnesia the Dark Descent Bonus DLC Playthrough

Apparently I do videos too, who would have thought? I'm new to it though, and my mic isnt very good
so my voice is a bit quiet. But check it out if you have the time! Content warning though, if you get into Amnesia or Justine its very immerse and full of horror (actual horror, not 'lets just blow blood and guns everywhere and say boo')

Justine, a totally well adjusted individual. 

I also do Starcraft 2 videos (naturally). Please like and subscribe it if you can, means a lot. Feedback would be good too, so I can improve on future videos. Let me know what you guys think =)
