  1. 1. Are GTA YouTubers misleading the GTA Community



Recommended Posts

Fireman Sam

why isnt this locked

Why are you here then?

 

Over 100 community members agreed that YouTubers are misleading, some GTA/YouTubers are fake and looking for profits only.

They act like they care but, they don't speak for the community. All they do is give a sh*tty video to people to watch their B.S.

 

You don't speak for the community, you are just speaking for yourself.

 

Why don't you stand up the GTA community? The GTA Community is divided by false GTA YouTubers.

 

Some GTA YouTubers are DUMBING DOWN the GTA Community, they don't know who is right, and who is wrong.

 

Heists didn't come to April, May 2014?

 

Some of the GTA YouTubers LIED, and they got the release date wrong.

I've posted here before and it's been against Dom but If you haven't already Dom why don't you move onto other games like Watch Dogs, Forza 5/GT 6, COD, Titanfall and all the other Next gen games that people like, If you are indeed the real DomisLive then GTA shouldn't be game that your channel revolves around if it gets you this much hate.

 

There's so much more stuff you could do for those games:

Why would he do that, when it's so much easier to spit out rapid speculation videos, and still get paid?

What I am saying that, these GTA YouTuber don't give a sh*t about you, all they care is the money.

 

 

I have question. In a world where this is most of how people are in life (doin things for tha money and don't give a sh*t about you) why talk about it here?

They put a sh*tty video for you to watch, all they talk is whatever their coming up with, There's a point that they used you for a misleading content.

For example: False adverrtisements.

It's like saying that you are paying $50,000 for a Independence Day Special. Then Rockstars takes away the fun things. You got RIPPED OFF. You used your shark cards without knowing it's limited time offering.

 

Why talk about it here?

 

Why? The GTA community is being DUMB DOWN by some gta youtubers claiming that the information leaks are true.

Which many youtubers already broke the youtube rules. youtubers has violated for using false content for tricking them to believe it.

 

This is how people getaway from doing scams or frauds.

Sorry for any negativity towards you just trying to help you if you actually are legit.

It happens to every game community. The EA community, The Activision community, The Capcom Community, and the Ubisoft community.

I mean YouTube's rules are already broken. The youtube monetize program that uses google advertisements is being abused.

You wanna start a revolution on fixing bad people who scam us and don't care? go after some thing more important in life maybe?

OMG tha government is misleading....OMG walmarts advertisements are misleading....OMG china is misleading affairs of foreign trade...OMG tha youtubers....wait youtubers? who cares? don't watch their stuff?

in other words...lots of scam out in tha world...why bother with tiny petty worthless youtube issues?

and I am not being a pain in rear end troll like person either....I am seriously asking....is there some big issue here we need to pay attention to? are they making so much crooked money our economy is going to explode?

The community needs to pay attention to look at the information that we get from gta5 yotubers, and the facts to backup the answers.

One big issues is that some content videos looked like a legit video content but, it contains misleading content usage to manipulate people. This why YouTube doesn't like these spams and scams. I'm talking about the YouTubers/gamers who upload videos containing misleading video titles.

 

These Youtubers gets profit from people who click on their video. And some people actually believed what these youtubers say.

These scammers do this for money, just getaway from uploading false content.

 

The GTA community must take advantage of this, before the community is divided.

 

Some community members are brainwashed.

People screwing about in free roam is what I see on youtube, that and crazy car stunts. That's what I usually see online too, except there's way more screaming and expletive/racist language, heh.

One more time. I understand what tha issue is so you do not need to just repeat yourself.

You are having an issue with a scam. And then telling us about it.

I am asking why is this scam worth bothering with in comparison to any old scam out in tha world.

I do not think you are reading everything I am saying or certainly not understanding tha question...hence why you keep repeating yourself.

People are scamin for cash...welcome to planet earth.

My answer is that it happens to people who got scammed. It's a method to fool people with dumb old tricks used in the business world.

 

You have answers already here:

 

YouTube on SCAMS:

 

"Some users create content which attempts to trick others for their own financial gain. Content that deliberately tries to mislead users for financial gain may be removed, and in some cases strikes may be issued to the uploader. Please be wary of claims that seem too good to be true, as they likely are."

 

YouTube on Artificial traffic spam:

 

"Videos and accounts that are found to be in violation of our terms may be closed down and removed from YouTube. If you are going to hire someone to help promote your content, it should be someone you absolutely trust, as you may be putting the fate of your channel (and your business on YouTube) in their hands. If they are using methods that violate our terms of service, you may be the one to pay the bigger price, as it will be your videos and channel that get taken down."

An example of what YouTube means there would be if your video made somebody go to a website and pay money for something that isn't what is being advertised - e.g. "send me $4 and you'll get a free shirt in GTAOnline!"

 

Putting up a crappy video that may not contain accurate content or doesn't match the title - is just that - crappy - not "omg financial scam".

You make it sound like these guys get $5 when you watch a video or something.

 

If you watch the advert at the beginning, YouTube themselves profit a cent or two from the advertisers, then they pass on a tiny tiny tiny fraction of that on to the creators.

 

There is lots of bullsh*t on the internet, usually surrounded by adverts making profit for somebody.

YouTube is not an official documentary source - it's a public site where anyone can upload videos.

This about them Misleading the Community it doesn't matter if they play with their kid fanboys subs.

Most of them have Misleading Titles, Thumbnails and Tag Spam. It's been around YouTube for awhile before Grand Theft Auto V.

Bumping because Dom is at it again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nw9-yHAcm4

The title says Secret Developer Kit PC Gameplay.

That Social Club TV is from the time of GTA IV being released.

Chrome x Mods is bullsh*tting and you actually believe it?
So much for following Rockstar if you don't know this sh*t.

Yes - there's no doubt about it. They virtually ruin every good community that was ever made.

COD was okay, until the faze/mlg clans got youtube channels going - noscopes, trickshots, etc.

GTA IV was taken over by crash testers and just average boring gamers.

GTA V is similar to IV, but much worse - worst I've ever seen. Glitch videos 24/7. Cash Card Giveaways.

it's just awful. The world would be a better place without youtube.

Great. Watching Livestream when Domislive starts getting his fanboys to subscribe to him.

Misleading? Definitely not. If you listen to them, they've only told you heists were coming out in every next update since the first update. Oh, we're on 1.15? Let me do a video that says heists are coming out in 1.16. By my thousandth video, I'll be right at least once.

Just skimmed through this thread. Some of you guys actually think domislive makes $2k a week? I'd say around $50 a day tops.

 

You guys should really educate yourselves on exactly how YouTube works.

I voted yes, because I think the vast majority of GTA YouTubers who attempt to inform wind up spreading misinformation, or bad information (exploits, etc.). Examples:

-Domislive regularly posts up videos detailing money exploits, glitches, etc. This makes them public, meaning that EVERYONE and their mother starts to do them, so Rockstar has no choice but to patch them before they do too much damage to the in-game economy.

-GUNIT123 posts up videos about cars, but they're filled with misinformation. His reviews are opinionated, the facts he presents are incorrect, and the testing he does is either biased or inaccurate.

 

The only exception I can think of offhand is Broughy1322. His car tests are done in a scientific manner; they're unbiased, informative, and well-presented. He's also a car guy through and through, and it shows. He's a hell of a driver, both in-game and in real life. I'm also a member of his crew (Nonchalant Dominance), so I'm a bit biased haha.

No sh*t, of course they are.

 

They say "like and subscribe" every 30 seconds, every video has the exact same template of distasteful electronic music, a guy with a horribly annoying voice, and saturated with adobe after effects.

 

All to mislead you with fake things, outdated tricks that have been patched already, and to get you to watch the video as long as possible so that they can get the maximum amount of AdSense. They also only do whatever is popular, which is why you see so many of the same sh*t all at once from different people.

 

That's why I always believe that if you want subscribers and you care about being a good gamer/trick person, then you must never do anything for money, never use any fancy effects, never beg for likes and subscribers, and keep things simple.

 

My gaming YouTube is just straight to the point, I do no bullsh*t, lay it out like it is, and I don't make a dime from it. I also play and upload what *I* like playing, not what gets the most views.

All dom does is post somewhat unnecessary videos of him talking about paint jobs, source codes and whatever. Not trying to defend him but goodness get over him.
