Fortnite scam artists are lying to kids on YouTube in the most obnoxious way possible

>"YouTubers hungry for a quick inflation to their subscriber base are turning to Fortnite in the latest bloody bid for attention. Fortnite is played by people of all ages, but it's undeniably designed to appeal to younger people. It's a violent cartoon in a bright world where a new villain arrives with every season on the back of an in-game event to spawn an evil purple cube or cover the map in snow and ice. Fortnite is 2019's most popular Saturday morning cartoon and it's free to play and watch 24 hours a day."

>"It's these very in-game events that YouTube livestreamers are using to manipulate young and/or naive viewers in order to boost subscriber numbers and donation totals, resorting to tactics so transparently misleading and exploitative that the videos, for anyone over the age of six, are borderline unwatchable. "

>"For these livestreamers, that messaging doesn't matter. They play stupid to get around YouTube's guidelines, phrasing their stream titles as questions or vague statements that, while technically true, communicate a brash sense of urgency, especially in tandem with garish thumbnails that scream even louder. "LIVE EVENT!" and a chunky red arrow are near guarantees, while the more ambitious streamers photoshop cracks on the eye itself, or throw a godzilla in for good measure—something to really get a kid's mind turning over.

"That's not even the worst of it. The theatrics required to trick an audience into thinking something big is about to happen boggle the mind."


What do you think about this, Yea Forums? Its reminds me a bit of some Yea Forums threads.

I could give less of a shit. Scamming kids from the point of video games is nothing new. My ass would always fall for the "free clash of clans gem generator" when I was younger. Kids will soon realize that it's all bullshit and move on. Better they learn while they're younger rather than older.

I think I got baited.

People want to pay or donate what's the problem

This OP is literally a fucking advertisement.

You got baited an hour after he posted and after about 10 other anons got baited
You're dumber

Yes. It's basically today's version of calling someone a rapist, except calling someone a rapist is still in style

how do I subscribe to them?

They are just describing the YouTube formula. Literally every YouTuber does this because it is what the algorithm favours and therefore promotes.

>people in this thread acting like Yea Forums isn't 80% 16 year olds

Spoiler alert, this board is for teenagers. I'm surprised none of you can tell by the content of the posts.

I was here when I was 16, 6 years ago. Your secret club has always been a 'no girls allowed' day care centre, and it always will be. Thx 4 listening.

Give them your credit card information

This scam artist is lying to anons on 4channel in the most obnoxious way possible

uhh clash of clans came out in 2012 user...

Absolutely not new. They destroyed the PvE mode with this nonsense so now everyone would rather scam guns like it's runescape rather than actually play the game. I miss when I could just speedbuild and get comfy without finding myself suddenly in a box with some twelve year old asking for my weapons. BR has always been a cesspool but at least I could kill them, the community in the PvE mode became irredeemable after youtubers convinced the new blood that it's a trading game, doesn't matter if they add fancy bosses to it or not.

So what you're saying is if that user was 12 at the time now he would be 19? Yiu retards do realize that he's 18 years old with brain damage most likely.

EVENT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW shit has been going on for an eternity

Youtube is literally built on people who make videos with titles in all-caps with a thumbnail that has red circles, giant arrows, and maybe a couple abbreviations like WTF or LOL, only for the actual content of the video to have absolutely nothing to do with the title or the thumbnail

I didn't click on shit i just read the OP, even if i did click the article it would of just had more words of the same shit.

If Kyle was in BR that would actually motivate me into playing the game for more than three days.

Remember when Yea Forums would tell OP to fuck right off if he didn't use a pastebin?

This is unironically a good thing.

Kids getting tricked and learning they shouldn't trust everything they see on the internet is a valuable lesson.

zommers have to learn about scammers and liars on the internet eventually. Youtube clickbait is the least of their issues.

Hello, you actual 15 year old.

>"OH GUYZ LOOK! IT'S THE HEWOBWINE! I SAW HIM! OHHHHH!"
Minecraft was also cancer. But, at least, Minecraft was a fundamentally better game since it relied primarily on creating and not destroying. And the whole scope of it and things you could do rewarded creativity and exploration in general.

It's more brutal if you think about it because kids are donating actual money to youtubers rather than falling for old Runescape and Maple scams which only involved mesos/gold/items.

>It is when you're trying to spread misinformation through artificially hype culturing

well played

It is if you are using dishonest tactics, you doofus

Apparently getting subscribes on YT, which cost no money on the viewers' part, is now a scam.

Which is odd because doesn't YouTube have a rule about clickbait shit and yet these fucks still get away with it? I know they're incompetent as shit to run their site but geez it's like they just give them a slap on the hand and think any of them will ever learn

ethics are subjective

It wasn't always this way

Youtube only goes after republican, fringe and conspiracy videos

clickbait be clickbait, nothing new.
i hate this quality of the internet but what can you do

google earns too with the clickbaits.

moral is called subjective. ethics is more of a grey area that's been discussed in philosophy since the ancient greeks.

But why is this still a thing? Adblock pretty much kills all their revenue anyway.

Attached: 1546689499983.jpg (500x569, 35K)

kids are too dumb for adblock

Children don't use adblock. They sit through all those fucking ad-riddled videos waiting for whatever the actual nugget of truth in the video is.

most people don't use adblock, user.

>YouTube only goes after Republican
Really? Explain why I always get shitty annoying pragerU ads then

No, back in the day there was a lot of shit to scam kids, not subtle at all, you remember maganizes selling "gamer gloves" from that avgn episode?

>real men are cucks
Lmao

no adblock, they watch it on their phones, just like 99% of the thread browses on their phones

Maybe if i had access to a good photoshop program i'd be making clickbait thumbnails too

it's a long con, you wouldn't understand all the mechanics behind it

most of these thumbnails look like they're made with fucking gimp anyway

i've adblockers on phone even though i barely use it for internet. but sure 99% of people don't bother with that on phones.

my phone has an adblock...

The largest population of individuals who watch YouTube are underage.

Imagine the feeling you had for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, the fucking wonderment of watching back-to-back-to-back new cartoon episodes or series premieres and being like "Damn, this shit's great. I wish this was every day." For these kids, it literally is every day. There are so many Fortnite and other HEY GUYS WHATS UP I'M VIDEO GAMES AND TODAY WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST THOUSAND OTHER EPISODES.
Children eat this shit up because they crave the dopamine drip. The broadcaster overhypes the product both in advert and show to try to encourage the viewers to rise to the same level of excitement.

It's literally no different than the baby shows where they find an apple and go "RED!" and do some happy dance shit for a solid minute or when some football team scores the sportscasters going "OH MY GOD OH MY OH WOW OH WOW OH LOOK AT THE ENERGY OF THE CROWD RIGHT NOW OH MY GOODNESS THE EXCITEMENT IS IN THE AIR!."

It's all the same shit.

Do explain user, I am rather curious

Is a game journalist actually complaining about clickbait?

No, it's just that rightards make a big scene out of it like they're the only victims of censorship.
"""Weedtubers""" barely got any news time by rightards once they were kicked off.
People who make YouTube Poop and YTPMVs have been kicked off for >muh Copyright since the start of the platform.

This must be some high satire, I guess I'm too low IQ to understand.

so its like
"Hello, ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS" for like 10 minutes, "It's good to see you again!"
or, "Hello, The chocolate war is the shittiest book i've ever read, " etc etc. when you start the program

he had a built in calendar, some shitty jokes, could sing "daisy give me your answer true" and other dumb shit
also his laugh sound effect sample is great and still gets used today

This kind of shit exists on Youtube for all demographics. The stuff like "FERRARI MADE THEIR OWN PHONE?" or "I BUILT A GAMING PC FOR ONLY $15?"

The Ferrari phone is just some offbrand phone they slapped Ferrari decals with and made 500 of to send to youtubers and press for brand recognition and the $15 gaming PC was made with a shitty optiplex given to them for free and they got a good deal for a used GPU on eBay. Youtube is quickly becoming even more retarded than actual television channels and that's hard to do.

Just wait till they find all the other weird shit like auto generated songs and weird graphic violence. What they're talking about isn't even that specific to Fortnight. You have those obnoxious brothers who just eat candy and they're hyped up attitudes will make you want to kill yourself. In on episode they're like "It's the subscriber challenge, think you can do it i bet you can't hit that sub button in 5 seconds" and they get millions of views.

I can tell you're a NEET because you don't know what hustling looks like. The kid is killing it on that livestream. Farming followers, growing his discord community and reading donations. This is what working looks like whether you like it or not.

Because the human mind is wired to somewhat like repetition. It is how toddlers learn and how grug works, therefore liking repetition is a desirable trait and is likely to get passed on. Zoomer youtubers figured this out and are using it to get money from kids.

A video costs no money to subscribe to wtf

Their site still gets a hit which is given to the advertiser you fucking moron. You cheat the ones who are paying for ads but the website still counts you as a visitor.

gaming journalists need to take a good look in the fucking mirror. That entire article is a big fat nothing at all. There's no lies pointed out anywhere in the video. Entire headline is clickbait.

All it says is that youtubers think something big is gonna happen soon. And that in itself isn't lying.

And fuck you OP for linking to the article instead of using archive.
