1Million for Agadmator and GMHikaru :o
Sort:
oof but also youtube sometimes says that they don't monetize people who reupload clip versions of other peoples' content, but sometimes they do allow it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ben expressed on stream today that he didn't like me using his content unfortunately. He even said that if I kept it up I would be making videos from jail. (LOL). So I'll be taking down the channel shortly

I got dozens of comments daily saying things like "I don't even play chess, why am I watching this" or "I used to hate Ben but thanks to your clips I am starting to like him". Also interesting to see that Ben's average daily viewers on his YouTube channel tripled after I started posting clips.
So If I managed to popularize chess and Ben to more people then I am very happy

I'm gonna wait until I hit 10K subs and then delete all my videos, should happen tonight. Afterwards I'll rename the channel back to Steven ODonoghue and everyone will wonder how I got 10K subs with no videos

Agadmator, a fan of chess, starting out with no name recognition, simply sharing is love of the game.
Hikaru, a fan of cash, being faf, and making clickbait videos.
Yeah, I am personally a agadmator fan.
I like him too, even though I like the opposite kind of chess he does. He likes attacking games in rapid or blitz; I like slow classical games where one side is fighting a long end game to save a draw.
Definitely something I would tell my friends at the bar or library about.

Well ... Hikaru is also the highest-rated blitz player in the world (and arguably the strongest bullet player in the world) ... and he plays live, on stream, while explaining his moves ... so that's a pretty big part of it, too.

Hikaru Nakamura is nowhere near as good as Magnus Carlsen in any time control.
He is garbage at chess, and will probably drop out of the top 20 in a couple years.
Look who is saying that.

Hikaru is currently #1 in the world in Blitz. See the FIDE ratings list, if you don't believe me. (https://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men_blitz)
Magnus is the real deal, no question. But Hikaru is officially the highest-rated blitz player in existence right now. He's also #4 in the world in Rapid.
I understand that a lot of players don't like him, but calling him "garbage" at chess is a bit much. Really, if you want to say that and be taken seriously, you better be a world-class player yourself. Otherwise it just looks ridiculous.

Step aside Agadmator and Hikaru, I've literally got more views yesterday than than both of their youtube channels got combined, just from uploading brainless 20 second clips from Finegold's stream.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXHbM5VrdxgcdZ-lIdeDQA/featured
Mine: (1.468M views yesterday)
GMHikaru: (651K views yesterday)
Agadmator: (571K views yesterday)
Now it's time to declare me the biggest chess youtuber on the planet.
Come on, dude.
You know pumping viewer count by bots is illegal..
And stop tricking innocent people.
Thanks, I've applied for channel monetization and they're gonna review the channel, and get back to me "within a month". Then I'll be able to start earning hopefully
WOW. GL
