A recap video can be content if edited into actual value, but at the end if the day, the best thing nerdcubed had was high value content. The downside with steams though is they are not really value added content. I grew up same as him, and I don't have an hour or two to watch another person play games. He should do this for all steams, but he should also have them edited down to a highlights video and have that too. It doesn't help he has very little, but most is also just stream rips. However today, I barely watch his content.
I liked all his reviews, and I've bought make games from his reviews. He was a good entertainer, humorous, and he was a no bullshit, straight shooter. I started watching nerdcubed because he was a good, honest reviewer. Being 20 and having a YouTube channel is very different than being 40 and having a YouTube channel.
YOUTUBE NERDCUBED TUBECAST PLUS
Plus growing up changes your life, and other things take priority. So everyone jumps into Patreon to survive what Google had created from YouTube, and many have also heavily invested time into twitch because it does still pay well. The downside is YouTube now pays vastly less, and much of this content isn't the type of content that pays out. A lot of YouTubers grow into slowing down. People often hey burned it on the constant, relentless creation cycle. The classic nerdcubed style is labor intensive, grindy, and often not fun. The underlying bit is he went a path that allowed t him to enjoy it and provide time to do other things he wants to do. The security Patreon is providing will, IMO, lead to videos on the main channel that are like what a lot of us started watching him for, but without the need for him to grind himself into oblivion to keep the algorithm happy. He seems to be slowly ramping up the main channel again, his streams are always good fun and he's working on a second book. Now, it seems like he's financially secure enough to just do what makes him happy.
So going back to "the old days" wasn't necessary. Then his first book was super successful and Patreon and Twitch started providing enough money to support him, his family and his company. He attempted a few reboots to try and combine regularity of uploads with him having fun. Trying to produce daily videos was seriously negatively impacting his mental health, and with YouTube's continuous shitty treatment of creators and plummeting ad-revenues, it reached a point where it wasn't worth it anymore. There was a point where he posted a video announcing he was taking a break, and it was clear that he had stopped enjoying his work.
YOUTUBE NERDCUBED TUBECAST FULL
Bearing in mind Rule #1 (Dan Lies), it's likely this isn't the full story, but perhaps there's enough truth there to form a decent picture.īasically, Dan got burnt out on the YouTube grind. I'll preface with the obvious disclaimer that I don't know Dan personally, so what I'm saying here is based on what he's put out in public.
