It's 40 seconds. He obviously didn't try.

2 million views for not trying. Very sad :3

It's going to be that like that time that Jim Sterling ironically said "like and subscribe" in a video, and then in the next video pointed out that he actually got a spike in likes and subscriptions. These YouTube trends may look dumb, but for some reason they're actually effective.

Meh, I've yet to come across a youtuber who was particularly bad about it. Anyone I watch who says it brings it up once at the end of the video. Everything else is just what you normally expect watching LPs.

This is true for most YouTubers and the problem is generally overexaggerated, but on the other hand there are a handful of mega-popular channels that do that sort of obnoxious crap.

I found it odd he tossed Markiplier as a gaming channel. While his channel has a lot of gaming, in comparison to a lot of YouTubers in the space he actually does really varied and interesting content.

Unus Annus was awesome.

I like dunkey and he is right about there being a lot of shitty clickbait but yeah I felt it was a little much to call himself an artist lol

Plus it's still a really nice privilege to make money at all making videos about something you like. All these people have a job that didn't exist 15 years ago

Well, his channel was started on horror games, so when there's nothing to play now he goes to indie horror games on itch.io since they're a dime a dozen.

I honestly think it's a nice way to pass the time anyway. I've been doing that myself since most of them are free.

Thing is, mark does like 1-2 of these a day right?
That is Dunkey's point. Coming up with a script and spending days to find certain shots for a good joke is the kind of videos Dunkey made.
He can only pop them out once a month or so.

Just finding an indie horror game, recording and acting scared is effortless besides some cropping out a few parts you might not like.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Making Let's Plays like what Markiplier does takes less effort than carefully editing together something and creating a script. It's why I'm starting to appreciate some of Mark's non-LP videos a lot more. Unus Annus was especially impressive for me because they planned out ideas for daily videos, recorded them, edited them together, for an entire year without missing any days.
