Boogie / Boogie2988 / "Francis" / Steven Jason Williams - Fat, Rapidly Declining Divorced "Nice Guy" Middle-Aged Youtuber, Former Edgy Porn Blogger, lied about having cancer and being molested. Cohost of fake drama show "Lolcow Live (LCL)". Just WILL NOT die.

Boogie's newest "muh algorithm" ranting reminds me of this comic:

YouTube provides the hosting, the audience, the advertising, basically everything. They don't even stop him from shilling products without even giving them a cut. His YouTube links on Twitter don't even describe the video because of the way he's set up the description:

And he has a cheek to complain about YouTube taking a cut. Ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous to complain that YouTube takes 45% of the ad revenue. Everything you said applies to Apple. They developed the iPhone, the operating system and the App store, yet they only take a 30% cut from purchases. Google itself takes a similar amount from their own Play Store, as does Valve on Steam. Amazon also offers up to a 70/30 split for books on their Kindle store.

Considering that Boogie has a patreon, sponsorships and even merchandise, it's just plain greedy to bitch about ad revenue. Seriously, he doesn't need any more money for food.

I expect a man who was nearly 600lbs for most of his life that also loves hoarding endless amounts toys to be greedy.

Dude, Youtube has to stream terrabytes of data per second around the world, it's not an app store or an ebook store. Also, each video is stored multiple times, 1 copy for each quality preset.

Can you fathom how much storage space is needed when you store 240p, 360p, 480p and so on different versions of the same video?

Not to mention how much data is uploaded to YT every second, some of them multi-hour videos at very high resolution and 60fps that have to be converted to all the different quality presets. It boggles the mind.

YouTube did all that of their own volition. Videos were previously limited to 10 minutes in length. Nobody forced them to provide unlimited hosting of 10-hour long videos in 4k for free.

Lowest monthly views since December 2012.

Negative subscriber growth for the first time since at least January 2011, if not ever for the channel.

It's no wonder he bitches about his numbers all the time, they are cratering.

It's the same story that happens to every failing youtuber, he's in denial about his channel failing because of his content getting worse, and now he's pulling the same attention seeking tactics in pandering to sexuality, drama, etc. just to get the numbers up again. It doesn't help though, tbh I don't know how the old school youtubers that are still around managed to pull it off, but I don't believe pewdiepie ever posted pictures of himself making out with someone to get views again.

PewDiePie actually possesses some business sense and like many big Youtuber he has evolved from his early days.If doing this is your job, you need to actually invest in it, evolve with the times and try to make your product more presentable and professional.Boogie 1488 has not changed at all since he entered Youtube.He would rather throw all his money on food and toys instead of trying to understand how the landscape has changed and invest in some better equipment.

Just another old man that found success at some point in his life and will fail because he thinks that he has nothing more to learn since whatever he did before worked for a while and should work forever.

Was just thinking something like that yesterday while watching a video from Caddicarus, from his outtakes. Showing that he scripts everything and when he works on a video he actually you know, actually produces something. And he's getting rewarded accordingly, his latest video has 150K views and was just released.

But Stevie here, just talks into a camera, with no script, for 10 minutes. And just ships it in. And then he's wondering why his channel is dying.

His solution, get together with some other people, do random shit and film it. Again, super low effort, no work goes into this beside showing up and doing the thing and just filming it all. Had to edit a little bit, which I guess is more work than he usually puts in, but almost no effort isn't much better than no effort at all.

I'm actually really getting sick of these videos of somebody just talking into the camera. Get a fucking cohost, at least the dynamic of two people working off each is way more entertaining and attention grabbing. People will listen to 2 hour long podcasts because it's not just one person going on for a while.

I know I'm wasting my time, somebody who needs to get a gastric bypass to lose weight cannot make an effort it's simply against their nature.

It begs the question - who's it actually aimed at? I don't imagine the people who signed up for his gaming news are interested in his outside "adventures". At the same time, I don't know why anyone who doesn't know Boogie would even give a damn.

I thought he just had enough critical mass and good will to keep the channel going, but I'm starting to wonder based on his recent results. I wonder if he'll keep the lies up about not caring about views, how his channel is performing etc. when he can't afford as many Funko Pops every month.

That's the thing, Boogie basically complains that he's been doing the same stuff for years and now it's starting to do significantly worse. It doesn't seem as if he's learnt any theory or developed any skills in regards to video-making in that time. Despite his complaints, the quality/effort to view ratio must be one of the best on YouTube.
