No, they IDd as "at Upsala College" or "in Upsala College" forever before that. Unless you mean for only a short time AFTER that.

Kim & I wanted to know how to become YouTube famous. No reason. Just curious.

To have a 100 million hits on their videos blow my mind. Who knew you can play video games and be a ninja/ retired physicist and make a living. It's wild.

Hey Richard S., do you you we're well past "In The Future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" ?

Do you guys know about Poppy?? Someone just showed me this recently.

Which I learned from Brian that thats a whole different thing being a Youtube Vlogger. He was like, that shits crazy, lol!

i've heard of poppy. a podcast i listen to went off the deep end on Poppy. its a little unsettling and i want nothing to do with it but it might be genius

Poppy is even crazier- www.youtube.com...

If there's a YouTuber I "follow", it's Brady Haran. He's the guy behind such channels as Periodic Videos, Numberphile, Deep Sky Videos, and Objectivity.
  7:22pm
Emily:

@dez, yeah...I found it deeply unsettling, I don’t think I get it AT ALL, but whenever I feel that way I always just wonder if I am missing something...

oh, hi, Emily and kimzilla! and happy birthday, Emily!

Hi Chris! Thank you!
  7:26pm
Steve:

How does one make an independent living from being on YouTube ?
  7:26pm
maxisaperson:

Hi everyone, enjoying the show so far. I've been watching Game Grumps for years so this interview was a pleasant surprise <3
  7:28pm
Emily:

@maxisaperson oh, awesome! It’s new terrain for us, but interesting. Thanks for chiming in, and welcome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
chris:

here's how youtube describes making money on youtube - creatoracademy.youtube.com...
Avatar 7:28pm
kimzilla:

Mostly ad sales Steve. Especially for Game Grumps its all about ads. It's on average, but the range is pretty wide, is that for every 2 million views you make $2,000. For his other gig Ninja Sex Party, its more about the music sales, since they only do about 6 produced videos a year. What a hustle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:30pm
Richard S:

Weird Al's been making hits longer than the groups he's parodying have been making music.
  7:30pm
Steve:

Gotcha, Kimzilla. Thanks. I imagine it would be very hard to live off of the ad sales ?
  7:32pm
Emily:

@Steve I think for most people it is, but some youtubers post hundreds of videos a year and get millions and millions of views.
Avatar 7:32pm
kimzilla:

hundreds of millions!
  7:33pm
Steve:

Thanks, Emily. That would do it.
  7:33pm
Emily:

So I think some people really CAN do that, which is bananas. Like the “vloggers” (or some of them). But for these guys, they also get $ from album sales, concerts, merch...
  7:34pm
Emily:

It’s still crazy to me that this is a career option, though.
Avatar 7:35pm
kimzilla:

We need to interview some rollerskating break dancers Emily!
  7:35pm
Steve:

I agree, Emily. It's beyond me what will click for Joe Average out here to make a living off of YouTube if you're not a pro musician.
  7:36pm
Kate:

a roller skating breakdancing commune, who knew

Ahh Kate is here, now everything feels alright!

I want to find this commune. And maybe join it.

Youtube can do live streaming I think. But there's so many twitch streams that are just garbage or boring

a friend of my oldest son was making money for a while by having people watch him play video games. weird.

Listener Robert:

I was a HS & college classmate of Marc Blank, founder of Infocom. On a programmable calculator at school, I programmed a random number generator for his & Alex Citron's simulator of a major league baseball season.

Burger Time was one of the all time fun video arcade games !

Ken From Hyde Park:

WFMU has a Vimeo channel for Monty Hall and other live performances. Is there a WFMU youtube channel to view behind-the-scenes stuff like lava lamp vs. bean bag fights and such?

@Ken, that is an epic idea.

Richard S:

One arcade game I remember was called "Food Fight". You played a character called "Chuck", and flung handfuls of food at chefs who were trying to keep you from getting to an ice cream cone. The fun thing was that every few levels, it would stop and do a replay of your last level.
  7:45pm
Listener Robert:

Oh, you mean like Octopus or whatever they call it, the radio studio cam, Ken Hyde? Once Pat Byrne had that on for his DJing the final half hour of his show following the playing of a recorded show from Monty.
  7:45pm
Hypertoast:

I had food fight for Atari. I loved that game!

JakeGould:

YouTube fame is seductive, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. On a most basic level, YouTube takes 45% of revenue and then taxes are 30% of what is left. You need to be pulling in significant views to be making a livable income. And none of that factors in production costs and the headaches of others ripping off your content or generally sabotaging you.

@chris: But how much money did your son make?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:50pm
chris:

yeah, i've had a job like that. headaches all the time that wouldn't go away with headache pills. i had had enough one day and just quit, with nothing lined up. fortunately, i picked up another gig before too long.

Moderating comments for a right wing site, easily in the top 3 worst jobs I ever had.

@chris: That’s the thing. As someone who quit jobs cold myself, I have no problem with it. But sometimes you lose perspective on the actual cost of money being made.

Long story - too long for this board - but I once found myself on the job literally holding up a wall for about 20 min. By the way, I have a M.S. in astronomy, and I'm a clerical worker for my county sheriff's office.

The hustle economy is the worst. Sorry to be a downer but workers are being screwed in this equation.
