      Frankly they deserve the flak, you're not the first content creator that they have done over and not likely to be the last.
      I remember when you started it all up and I'm really happy to be able to support you as you move this way!

  • @livinlicious
    @livinlicious Před 10 lety +11

    Getting funded by people that like your content is way better than, "I have eyes of my subscribers - I sell them to advertisers".
    Its the more logical way, directly producer - consumer.
    No middleman that wants to earn his profit too.
    Good luk with that. (As I see, 3k/month is already not too shabby)

    • @JER0EN
      @JER0EN Před 10 lety +1

      I feel the same way, I'd rather get a small in video or in description something that is saying 'Buy my shirts!' or 'Merch: InsertLink' than a preroll or an advertisement.

    • @livinlicious
      @livinlicious Před 10 lety +1

      Buy my shirt is also not direct.
      Its more direct than advertising, because you get a bigger piece as the creator, but its still not that much.
      For example, a shirt is 20$ and the creator gets 5$.
      I think many people have money, more money than they use up, and want to support stuff they like, just to make sure this stuff will keep on existing.
      Thats why people love crowdfunding. Pay for stuff, so that awesome stuff can be created.

    It's the NixiePixel skill and uniqueness that captured my attention long ago. You are for sure worth *more* than money!
    What about Bitcoin then?
    Anyway I finally watched the first episode of OSALT, a comparison of Windows and Linux Mint. I am surprised I took that long but I see why you came to be so famous. I certainly hope you get more value out of your work than you probably have from ytub. I think it's too bad how we've learned to centralize advertising and money trafficing, when the real value is in you!

    @MrHav1k Před 10 lety +1

    People need money to live and doing CZcams full time means you need to see a reasonable ROI from your time. I see nothing wrong with getting money from the ads simply by running them before the videos. There is a lot of scummy shit that advertisers do, but a 5 second ad before a video to support people you like isn't much.

(coz of my poor English) Well, just dont doubt, i guess the answer is no! Or may be yes, if he really show his videos are great and really kicks. this is the true nature of things! haha

      @meaghanborsella7800 Před 10 lety +3

      Well a young guy made over 10k on kickstarter for fucking potato salad, so maybe your opinion here isn't all that valid :-P. It really irks me when people will assume that just because someone has a vagina that is the sole reason they are achieving something. I'm not saying I agree with her choices here on making videos. The reality is that Nikki is very likable and that is what drives the positive reception she has and not the fact she is a girl.

    • @WeDeserveBetterNow
      @WeDeserveBetterNow Před 10 lety +1

      All other factors being equal, an attractive female will gain viewers and subscribers more quickly and substantially than a male in the same situation producing the exact same type and level of content. A fact of life is that men are more prone to having their attention captured by the sight of an attractive female - while women are much more neutral when it comes to looking at members of one gender or the other. If you want an example of this consider that The Amazing Atheist took several years to build up a large following, while it only took Jaclyn Glenn only 1 year to build up a following of a similar size (even though they offer very similar content).

    actually the universe is a quantum computer, thus everything is a number even a single hydrogen atom is made out of them, so really your right you are not a single number you are made out of trillions of numbers. matter being the 1's, antimatter being the 0's, and the stuff that disappears being the quantum superstate (1 and 0 at the same time). We can no longer interact with it but it still exists. nothing was created nor destroyed, the particle just went "where the deleted files go". all references to the particle are gone but the energy remains.

    half a penny?! per view? How much does youtube make per view from advertisers? If I monetized my very few videos expecting to make a living on that alone, I'd be really bad off! You have a pleasing screen presence, you should investigate other venues, maybe like guest appearance in a TV show, a specialty tech news reporter for a local TV channel, and so on. I could easily see you in a sitcom series. I remember two young women who did TV commercials in the 70's and I thought then they could go far, and I was right. One was Farrah Fawcett with Aqua Velva shaving cream, the other was Elizabeth Shue for Burger King. I get the same feeling about you, if you get the right agent, the right product for commercial just for more "face exposure" and then pursue it.

    to be honest hiring someone to edit your videos for you is very lazy. You're a youtuber, it is your job to write the material, film it, edit it and upload it. Sure it can be boring but so are most jobs.

    More than $8k per month from Patreon with just 800 backers? How come?

    You would be great on a tech channel. Not sure if you would be willing to do that, but I think you would do great on TechnoBuffalo fo example.

    I have been angry with Nixie over why she doesn't post videos as often.. Now that I am wide awake and I am glad that Iearnt things this way, I realised that this woman needs our support as a community, which doesn't make her any lesser than whatever she is.. I do admit the looks and 'boobss' part, but then she does a lot of good work which is beyond the intellectual capabilities of most of us.. So, thowo have a problem with the way she is handlng this, plea lay off ad deal with pathetic livesa it is.. We, as Nixie's followers will try infuse as much positive energy as possible...
