YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Must Read My Blog...

YouTube is in a state of crisis right now when it comes to placing ads on the correct places.  Innocent content creators are getting their incomes slashed to a small percentage of what it used to be based on the newest algorithm change and way in which videos are flagged to fit into different categories.  Big creators like Boogie2998 and H3H3 Productions are getting hit where it hurts as their channels are based on contemporary issues and satire, a category that seems to be particularly targeted in this recent round of YouTube changes.  

If you read my post a couple days ago about the declining state of YouTube, you will know that this may be the closest that the platform has ever come to actually collapsing in on itself.  After dozens of instances where the "chicken littles" of the website claimed that the sky was falling and the hashtag "#TheYoutubePartyIsOver" saw a rise in usage, this might actually be the one time where those outlandish claims of the end of the platform might not be so baseless after all.  

All of this is fine and good but why the title?  Why would I assume that the CEO of YouTube is reading these posts?  Well, that is very simple.  While others seem to have had their concerns fall on deaf ears, mine was not.  As I posted the article on this Google platform of Blogspot, I was in a unique position to have my written piece hosted by the Google servers.  Since Susan and I go way back, she obviously was checking out the site to see how things were going and saw my concerns.  

What I am trying to say is, you're welcome.  Once everything gets back to normal and your favorite YouTube creators are back to making the big bucks, you will know exactly who got them back to their former glory.  Thank God for me?  Yes.  Thank god for me.  (and yes I obviously made that up off the top of my head and am in no way trying to plagiarize the content of another creator that may or may not be known as Jim Sterling.)

Will Switch Get Voice Chat Before Splatoon 2?

Image
With Splatoon 2 right around the corner and basic leaks (things like working title and logo for the companion smartphone app) reaching the public last month, the Switch SHOULD be getting basic social functionality sometime this month.  Apparently, the app will be a cornerstone during matchmaking in Splatoon 2.  Since this is their big eSports game, I doubt they want to botch this launch.   I'm excited but mostly terrified of what Nintendo is going to show us.  Why?  The 3rd party accessory brand, Hori, announced and revealed their chat solution for the Switch a little over a month ago and it made everyone cringe harder than previously thought humanly possible.  In order to get game audio and chat audio at the same time, you have to use a dongle that runs a cable to your phone, a cable to your switch, and then a cable to the headset.  It is a MESS.  If someone trips on the cable stretched all the way to your TV, the Switch comes flying of...

Fortnite for Switch Gets Motion Controls...SAD!

Image
Fortnite for Nintendo Switch is the first and only version I have played up until this point.  I have an iOS device but the thought of touch controls makes me uninsterested.  I have a PC but leaning over the keyboard hurts my back over time.  I really wanted a version I could play with physical controls on the recliner and in bed.  The Switch version of the game finally gave me that and it has been hard to set down. The Switch version of the game has a...reputation of sorts.  As with the mobile ports of the game, the game is harder to control than other versions.  This comes from a large part of the player base using Joy-Cons for their go to way of play.  Either because they are playing in handheld mode or because they are just using the standard grip that came with the system out of the box to play in TV mode.  They Joy-Cons have a glaring issue that I’m sure any veteran Switch player could tell you.  The right thumbstick, which is used to...

How Nintendo Could Accidentally Kill the Switch

Image
After this latest E3, I think that we are all starting to realize that the Switch isn't getting broad "Triple A" third party support like we were all hoping for.  It seems to be getting individualized ports of games that are made specifically for the system or not getting "multi-plats" at all.  Huge system sellers like Call of Duty or Battlefront aren't getting Switch ports at all and even some smaller games like "South Park: The Fractured But Whole" aren't making an appearance on the system.  Nintendo can say that they can't anticipate what third party developers are going to do, but when they are given a system with a tablet SoC (system on a chip) to run home console quality games, they are going to be very constrained.  After all, they are trying to turn a profit and if they have to burn a ton of man hours to make a special port for the system, they will probably not take the risk.  So the system isn't getting broad Triple A su...
