I think the GSL joke is wicked. Chill out guys. The GSL are actually charging those exact fees for their tournament. I personally think GSL are taking the piss but it makes me all the more grateful for what HDH are doing for the SC community.
I agree with this guy! Big props to Husky and HD for giving us quality entertainment for free.

Do you have any ideas how many regular viewers they have?  I at least hope they are doing well and I guess they are.

actually they probably make an ok amount of money from youtube... the top 10 all make over 100kUSD

and for everyone complaining about "lack of updates" or "the hold up".. grow up... they are doing the community and esports a great service FOR FREE.. so the idea that you should somehow be entitled to anything shows how immature and shortsighted you are

I think that what he meant is that the tournament and casting is free for us.

(although equating something paid for by ad revenue as being free is a fallacy but that's a discussion for another thread... on another forum, probably)

So if someone gives you something lets say a candy bar as a part of some promotion, you wouldn't
call it free? You are just playing with semantics then and it's defiantly not a fallacy to say so... You seriously registered just to say that?

Guys, will you stop talking about this already? It doesn't matter if / how much money these guys are making, or what their intentions are, this is about a Starcraft 2 Tournament and you're turning it into another never ending discussion. There are enough threads where you can criticize them, but it would be nice if you could drop the subject here.

That is a big ass tournament! Lol. Tons of big names, gonna be pretty exciting to see who manages to come out on top.
|
i think this tournament is better than GSL which is nothing but frustration in trying to view the tourney.
|
this is gonna be insane with all those big names! cant wait!

I was tired... a foolish mistake to stop lurking (I had registered previously) to post that.

Those are the Top 10....with millions and millions of subscribers. I doubt HD or Husky would make over 2k a year (which is still really nice for uploading youtube videos, but still). The thing is you only get money if someone actually clicks on the advertisement, not per view.
Also how the hell does HD have so subscribers? I can understand husky cause he knows what he's talking about most of the time but HD is so clueless.

You've got it backwards.
