Smart Disc is the best weapon if you can master it sure, but just don’t become too reliant on it. If you become too reliant on Disc, your aim with other weapons like the Plasma Pistol will go out of practice too.

You literally repllied to one.
Reading through these comments makes me yearn for the days I played nonstop every day. I know I’ve gotten sloppy, my combi throws and plasma pistol aim have been shit. I’ve just been trying to focus on finishing some single player games on my late night weekends as that’s the only time I can get on, and this game can get very addictive and its hard to stop lol.
Noice, good job sir. Its always a good feeling 100%ing a game, says you got your money’s worth and got to see all it had to offer. Hope to see you in the jongol again soon, do you typically play in the afternoons? I want to rematch you and your squad.
always in the afternoon. gaming in the morning is just…weird. idk.
you’ll probably kill me, im going to have to readjust to the uber sensitivity differences from PHG and spider man
How about after 11pm? :D
Yeah I get needing to adjust between games. I actually have my sensitivity cranked for PHG, and its still freaking slow.
You talking about me?
I don’t think Jason has that kind of mentality. I don’t see him making daily content and extended videos. More like everyone else (including me) that just shares gameplay because is fun and whatever.
i think nomad and p-willie were more on that acid trip.
What people fail to know is that almost all “famous” youtubers got there by sheer luck and not hard work or because they were looking for it. If you dig up and watch all big channels, they all share the same story. They were making content for fun, for friends and then something went viral. All it takes is for one video to go viral and that’s your chance. But you can’t make viral videos. It just happens, like winning the lottery. The hard work is to maximize your opportunity. But unless you are already famous, nobody is going to notice you on YT. And that viral video may not have anything to do with what you channel ends up being about.
Demolition ranch started as a car video channel. It got viral because of a dog and deer video. Dude managed to exploit it and made a living out of it and now is retiring.
Linus techtips started making videos for a store
Amouranth was/is a cosplayer, and got viral on Twitch because Amazon reached out to her and paid her to make content when nobody knew Twitch
Whoever thinks they are going to get famous on YT by making content has the same mentality of a kid playing in a garage rock band and thinking they’ll become the next Metallica. but hey, I was there 25 years ago. I was that kid when I was in my teens. Is hard to not dream. But reality slaps you in the face. I still know dudes in their 50’s thinking they’ll become big rockstars. Some people never grow up

I miss when Matt was more fun and goofy, doing crazy experiments and when he was prominently on Vet Ranch, I loved watching him talk about animals and what he did during operations to save them. Then he became GUNS GUNS GUNS SECOND AMENDMENT STOCKPILE STOCKPILE YOUTUBE OPERATOR STEROIDS TEXAS TRUMP.
Wow, everyone’s really passionate about the flexing on potato’s being lame, I don’t know why it’s such a hard thing to eventually detect but those who don’t I question that maybe they are within a certain bubble of mechanical capability as well as not knowing that much of game logic
I kind of just took it as a player phase
If beyond that it’s weird ego though or some other motive
I don’t even really upload PHG videos anymore man😂
I may do the odd montage or two nowadays but the rest of my content is Shorts on AVP, Horror etc.
I pretty much entirely make videos as a hobby, especially the PHG ones, which are pretty much entirely for fun. It would be nice if I earned money from YT of course, but if I was only in it for the money I wouldn’t still be making videos years later.
I don’t really take the whole thing seriously anymore. It’s like you say, there’s way too much algorithm related luck involved & I don’t really have the time on my hands to spend ages studying the YT algorithm.
Idk what point Hood was trying to make tbh.
i went to the equivalent of a comic con a few years ago and there was a guest speaker there who had a mildly successful youtube channel. his advice on to be a good content creator was “be the first, be the best, or be different” at the particular subject that you are uploading videos on. honestly ingenious.

He said he’s probably going back to do veterinary work. I respect him. He made enough money to be set for life and retiring to enjoy his kids growing up is the right thing to do. The fact that he decided not to end the channel until all his crew has a new gig is something noble too. I wish corporations had that kind of attitude. Definitely greed is not one of his sins.

Yeah man that’s all good advice. I just don’t really have the time on my hands to focus on YT all that much nowadays.
Well that’s good to hear. I dropped off his channel once he started getting more right wing. If he indeed is making sure his people are being taken care of and if he’s going back to his dad’s vet clinic, I can commend him for that and will probably go back to watching him if he decides to upload that stuff again.
This is very true, one of the guys I watch on twitch religiously said time and time again that you need to have something no one else has if you’re going to catch an audience. He was a League of Legends player for about his first year, streaming to only two people, one was himself on another phone. Then he started learning speedruns for games he enjoyed, particularly OG Resident Evil, and nobody was really doing that at the time so it started to catch a certain niche audience. Then he went to GDQ several times and got even more exposure. Ten years later he averages over 3k viewers a stream every day on twitch and YT and has two channels on YT, one for vods and one for shortened and edited playthroughs. Keep in mind he was a professional chef and caterer full time WHILE he was also streaming for 8 or more hours a day to only two viewers, because he enjoyed doing it and loved it, and eventually he was able to quit that and stream full time. You also need to be insanely devoted to yourself as a brand too, cuz you’re essentially selling yourself. Like any other product out there, if you’re not interesting or valuable to someone, no one is going to invest in you. hence providing something different than all the rest yet still entertaining.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. You don’t need unique content. You don’t need to be the best. You just need first and foremost, LUCK, to get noticed. Then:
a) Constantly and consistently create quality content. This is where most people fail, because it requires a lot of work and investment in high quality equipment and time to record and edit good videos. If you are not consistent most people will stop watching your videos. If your video quality is low, people will stop watching. If your videos are too long and boring, people will stop watching.
b) Know your audience and give em what they want. You can go and make whatever content YOU want, but if you ignore your audience requests and ideas, you’ll quickly start losing viewers.
You don’t need unique content. How many channels do we have about the same shit? how many gun channels? How many guitar channels? How many drum channels? How many gaming channels? How many cooking channels? How many comedy channels? You see copycats all around and a lot are doing really good. You don’t need something unique. Matter of fact, being unique might actually have the opposite effect and sink you to the bottom of the algorithm.
I always put the example of this guy
Dude had a YT for more than a decade and had less than 1000 subs
Then this guy https://www.youtube.com/@Davie504
made a video featuring the other guy. That was his once in a lifetime chance. He made good use of it and now has almost 2 million subs.
Another example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoNU_wvWvQs
Dude had been doing videos on YT since 2014, and it was just like 3 years ago that he became a phenomenon because someone else made a reaction video of one of his videos
