What if someone told Chris he could make money off YouTube? -

[Travelling Penguin]

So, there's no presentation thread? Well, anyway, I do think we could very well be witnessing the end of the Laughs under Lucricities. I mean, let's face it: Chris hasn't put up much material ever since the golden days. I wonder if he'd actually start making videos again if someone tells him that he could make money out of it.

Chris was really stupid not to take advantage of a YouTube partnership when he was "big". I bet if he started making videos again, he could still get quite some money out of it. Someone should carefully advise him that, if he's in need of money, all he would need to do is to start making vlogs again. His Captain's Log videos could snatch him some money, and that would be a good way to "bring him back to the internet". This could be good for him, and good for everyone who enjoys his videos. Has anyone tried to contact him about it? I doubt he would turn down the offer if it meant money, especially since he wouldn't need to do anything his retarded self doesn't do on a daily basis (just a Captain's Log where he would talk about shit no one cares about, etc).

[Apocalypso]

Happy Harry actually brought the idea up a while back. But of course as bungholio said, Chris would be too lazy to do something like that.

 

[CatParty]

Why do people keep bringing this up? He's lazy and would never do it.

 

[Dr.Research]

He doesn't have it in him to create consistent original content evidenced by his Sonichu production schedule. And when he did make videos, they were to gal pals, sweethearts, contest entries or direct messages to trolls rather than being purposeful entertainment.
And even if he did, he'd probably disable comments since they would be 99% criticism & trolling and 1% JULAAAAY.

It is not easy to monetize being a laughingstock/victim. There is a fakeness about it, because the victim gains from the laughter/pity, but has to seem completely legitimate in his/her outrage/sadness about it. Chris doesn't have the ability to pull it off, even if he wanted to.

Tell us more things that you are completely sure Chris would never do.

Grow a pair.

But yeah, the internet is the land of the trolls and Chris couldn't make enough money to justify to himself intentionally going back into the troll mess.

 

[Kosher Dill]

and Chris couldn't make enough money to justify to himself intentionally going back into the troll mess.

Exactly - this is what I think a lot of people overlook. Chris would need to be pulling in JULAY-level hits on a regular ongoing basis to make any appreciable money. Compared to the $1000ish a month he gets merely for filling his briefs, why would he bother clowning for pennies on Youtube?

Something tells me Bob and Barb had this attitude about Chris for years. Uhh it requires more than a base level of effort... That's too much for pudge boy.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Do we really want Chris to make any more money?

Sure, it'd help a little, but we all know what he's going to spend it on.

Just from memory, Chris has dental issues which will eventually be pretty expensive (even with state insurance), he drives vehicles into the ground, and his "inheritance" 14BC will need maintenance after Barb croaks. His monthly tugboat ain't cutting it, he spends it all. I want weird shit like the swatch video with an ad in front of it. Shit, he could do singstar competition forever on YouTube, and I bet the audience would grow. I know it's easy to make a 2 sentence post saying that Chris would NEVAR EVAR do it, but there are already weirder YouTube partners out there making money from clicks.

Weirder? Yeah. Lazier and more paranoid? I doubt it. Besides, Chris' videos wouldn't make nearly enough views to sway his financial status dramatically.

 

[CatParty]

I think it's great the "what if" subforum is gone.

 

[fridgesrants]

Basically this.. If Chris was smart he could have actually figured out a way to market his weirdness and become a youtube partner. He is just to lazy to do anything and is content with his tug boat.

 

[MrTroll]

Chris probably wasn't pulling the view/subscriber numbers needed to make any real money even at the height of his "fame".

 

[Mr. 0]

Realistically, Chris would know whoever told him something like this was probably nullshitting and assume it a troll plot to get him to come out of the woodworks. Even if he tried, most of his viewers would be weens and a-loggers who found the CWCki after a cursory google search (conspiracy anyone?) and think he's worse than hitler, a common consequence of taking the rhetoric too seriously or not double checking your facts (888chan and ED are not reliable sources of information in anyway, if you think otherwise, then you're worse than Chris).

You sure about that? As I said, he probably doesn't care about his health or transportation. And as Lelbron said, there may have been weirder people that have gotten YouTube money. But not anyone as lazy as Chris. Hell, RWJ, as bad and effortless as his videos are, he never was that lazy.

 

[Some JERK]

I'm not sure if this has ever been brought up in these threads, but making money off of youtube isn't as easy as making videos and watching the bags with "$" printed on them show up at your door. It takes a lot of hard work, networking, and sound business decision making.

You know, three things that Chris is terrible at.

Edit: I just realized that what I basically just said is that Chris is lazy and stupid. So yeah, it's been brought up before. Carry on.
