Big YouTuber Says He Won't Cover Nintendo Anymore

Joe “Angry Joe” Vargas, who commands nearly two million subscribers on YouTube, has decided to stop covering Nintendo games, following a dispute over a Mario Party 10 video. Angry Joe’s Mario Party 10 H25 video was flagged by YouTube, and while it’s possible for him to keep the video online, he can’t make money off it. It’s easy to imagine why he’s upset.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); He tweeted about the decision a few days ago: I hope @NintendoAmerica enjoyed the free ad revenue & coverage I generated for em. It will be my last Nintendo video. pic.twitter.com/07797eA7W4 — Joe Vargas (@AngryJoeShow) April 4, 2015 Nintendo launched an early version of its Creators Program earlier this year, which allows YouTubers to release videos with Nintendo games, so long as they share some of the revenue. However, not every Nintendo game qualifies for it, and Mario Party 10 currently doesn’t. Why? Good question. Nintendo’s decision to step into YouTube monetization, a topic most companies have backed away from, has generated more questions than answers for creatives. Though Angry Joe vowed to stop covering Nintendo games, he did release a final rant about the company’s policies. “I hope Nintendo enjoyed the free ad revenue I generated for them, the positive coverage I generated for them,” he said. “I hope they really enjoyed that because after this, that’s the last h25 com สล็อต​ of the Nintendo videos I do.” Of course, even though Angry Joe has decided to wield whatever power he has by taking a stand through his channel, this tweet made me chuckle: Meanwhile you laugh while we step over each other to buy your stupid fucking plastic toys like they h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ​ are Ultra-beeniebabies. @NintendoAmerica — Joe Vargas (@AngryJoeShow) April 4, 2015 He’s not wrong.
