I made this one day-- when, I was a little pissed off. About the politics of Youtube Starcraft2 casters.

You watch somebody online for years-- watch them go from 600, to nearly 100,000 subs..

And they pull some dick move like this----

***Before you ask who it was-- it wasn't any of the people I mentioned in the video. I was just using them as examples of how many GREAT casters there are out there.

Hmmm ... an obvious omission ... is Husky. That sucks =(, as long as you're not spamming the place it should be fine.

Well its semi-obvious who you're talking about. Amongst the big commentators out there you basically only left one out

edit:
Loved the ending of the video btw, how you make fun of yourself after raging so hard in the middle. Gonna subscribe but if you pull a dick move on and blocks me you can be sure that I'll make this exact video raging on YOU!

UM DUM DUMMMM*

I think it kinda sucks how stuff as fan-based as SC2 casting has become a bit more about making money/becoming youtube partner, asking for donations, asking for money for casting equipment, asking for money for an "SC2 computer", etc.

So you're mad at (probably Husky since he's the most famous guy who you didn't mention) for having a knee-jerk anti-advertising policy like pretty much every other top Youtuber out there? You're mad because he didn't carefully consider your case? Mad that he didn't peruse your channel and try to get a sense of whether you deserved to be blocked or not, and, after a long deliberation, make a well-informed decision?

Grow up, man. This guy (whoever he is) probably sees so many spammers and advertisers trying to leech off his views that the motion of "delete-block" is probably engrained in his muscle memory by now. For you to take this personally is to show that you have no perspective at all.

No guys, it's nevake!!! TL raped him, it's all true T_T

Yeah, it's probably husky lol. Kind of a dick move whoever it was, some guys just wanted more starcraft coverage that someone's hit channel didn't provide enough of (probably cause the people have already seen all the vids or w/e) and a guy was helping out with a bit of self promotion. No one would bitch about this if he linked another "famous" youtuber, be like, hey, check out day[9], here's a link. Always stomping on the little guy.

Dude your hilarious, if you bring this much enthusiastic to casting your starcraft vids, (hell even if its only a small portion) you gotta be good. Subscribing asap.

I agree a little with motbob in that the typical gut reaction by any youtuber is probably to mark spam to anyone advertising their channel. I think a better reaction for you would be to message the guy and explain things instead of posting something like this. Still, I feel bad for you =( ... unfortunately SC2 casting has become all about youtube popularity and getting money from it.

Let me give you some insight:

As a guy who gets a lot of random msgs, emails, PMs etc etc.. it is really hard to consider each persons situation as a unique and important incident of integrity. That isn't to say it's an excuse.. or that gives anyone reason to treat others like shit but the person (Husky?) deals with LOTS of people and when doing that sometimes the context for something gets lost to them because their picture perhaps is a lot larger than yours in terms of who they deal with.

That said... youtube has people leeching each other ALL the time. It makes sense that one channel would want to stop that from having. He probably does that DAILY with people/organizations that have less sincere intentions than you do. Sure it would have been nice for him to msg you and be like "plz don't" but at the same time he is well within his reasonable rights to STOP you from doing more... he doesn't want/need to take the time each day to "warn" 30 posters doing exactly that.

Take it in stride, try to understand.. and msg him explaining your situation. That of course is probably fucked because in making this video you may have burned that bridge already.

Next time calm down and try and realize that martyring your small fish syndrome with a video is a terribad approach to a very reasonable situation.

"Your viewers can be my viewers and my viewers can be your viewers".

The problem with this is that your 100 subscribers already subscribe to HD, Husky or whoever this is. Casting is serious business.

dude r u really complaining that someone deleted ur blatant advertising from their channel, wtf?

imagine theres this giant carnival and one of the most popular booths at the carnival was a guy lets call him Hal Husky was really good at painting widgets. mad people watched this dude paint widgets man he was popular at it. then some guy named Mikey Ranter walks in front of him and goes yoyo check out my booth, i paint widgets too. and Mikey Ranter would run to all the popular widget painting booths like Ken Klazart and Sir Diggity and Chris Cholera started doing this. and then when Hal is like dude, i don't appreciate u blatantly advertising ur widget painting stand in front of my widget painting stand, Mikey gets really pissed and freaks out.

ok all of u right now r probably like baller wtf r u talking about? well imagine the "carnival" is "starcraft 2" and "painting widgets" is "commentating" and "widget painting stand" is "youtube channel" and "widget painting stand watchers" are "youtube subscribers" and "Hal Husky" is "Husky" and "Mikey Ranter" is "LittleMikeStarCraft."

do u see now? "oh shit baller that makes so much sense" u say? ur welcome.

Actually it is once you make youtube partner and start earning money as well as have enough influence to ask for "donations". I have no doubt that HD and Husky make a decent amount of money off their casts nowadays.
