*Intro plays*
So, today isn't really like a story or anything.
More of like a kinda warning I guess to
i dont know what the fuck he is saying
STAY AWAY from Machinima, they are absolute cancer.
Now there is a circle jerk going on around at the moment
saying that Pyro is a cheeseburger. ( it is really true)
still dont know what the fuck he is saying
Circle Jerks ninety percent of the time
they're really taken out of context and
they totally undeserved but with
machinima it needs more hate this is the
only time where I'm actually saying
please circle jerk about how bad Machinima
tomorrow please go out there go on the
streets protest how bad Machinima number
are because they are absolute cancer and
I can only say this because I'm not
parted with them anymore
I used to be and I know how shit was and
how shit their company is a whole so I
pondered myself with machinima ages ago
this was before the commentaries before
the montage parodies
this is back when i was doing minecraft
let's plays
haha all know if you're wondering what
that noise was that was actual physical
cringe leaving my body because I just
can't talk about that subject
fun fact cringe is the fourth biggest
killer right next to bro fisting and
community channel trolling videos they
so bad
and of course we all know what the
world's biggest killer is out there
the royalty-free ukulele anyway back to
machinima before I physically cringe
myself to death so like i said i joined
machinima when I was a relatively small
channel I was just starting out on
youtube only had a few uploads to think
about four or five and then I saw this
advertisement for machinima to come and
join them and how you'd get all these
benefits more money
promotion growth subviews basically
you'd be a complete idiot to not take
this offer it looked like you had
everything you needed to grow your
channel and more so when I was about to
join them
I got hit with this huge contract hire
to read basically explaining all the
little details and that it was really
vague but i do remember it saying the
contract which three years in length and
at the end of the contract it or a
renewed itself
so basically the contract renewed itself
infinitely after three years you would
have to step in and
attack someone and then basically say i
want to end the contract
I want to leave and what they did was
they set me up with a talent manager and
he's basically the guy that co sign the
contract and he he was basically someone
that watched over me and gave me advice
tips
basically the supportive role in
machinima and this sounded really good
originally I was like oh my god I've got
someone watching my back I've got my own
talent manager this is amazing and all
machinima wanted in return was a
three-year contract and forty percent of
all my earnings now
youtube earnings are basically no matter
what you make Google take forty-five
percent of that never changes even if
you're fucking PewDiePie google always
take forty-five percent but when you're
partnered whatever is left over the
people you're partnered with then take
their share of the cut as well and
machinima 18 forty percent of whatever
was left over
and at the time I thought you know
that's not too bad i get sixty percent i
get the majority so you know i might as
well sign up or get protection and
growth so why not now nearly instantly
I regret signing the contract because
the second I signed it
my talent manager suddenly said that he
was busy and he only said that after i
had signed the contract and he said he
was going away on a business trip and I
basically be on my own for the next five
to six weeks so basically over a month
I'd be completely in the dark so I
thought to myself that's not too but you
two pretty much runs itself anyway as
long as I keep producing content
they'll promote me okay exposure and
hopefully i'll be able to grow my
channel about four to five months pass
and nothing
my channels and grow all users still
dead i got about 2 300 years of video I
mean for some people that sounds like a
lot but i wanted to grow and there was
no growth or the Analects we're just in
a straight line there was no growth no
subs nothing else stayed exactly the
same and then I had a bit of an epiphany
and thought to myself wait a second
machinima are taking forty percent of my
earnings for absolutely nothing
they have not helped me in any way and
yet they're taking forty percent of my
earnings every month so eventually our
contact machinima non light you know
hey guys are I just wanted to talk about
you know the fact that you've done
nothing for my channel but you'll each
of it and take forty percent of my own
is every month and the only person I had
to come
attacked was of course my talent manager
and he didn't respond he didn't respond
to any of my emails I've row in simple
little emails and then I literally had
to resort to begging him for a response
you don't like please read this it's
urgent I'm worried about the future of
my channel and just didn't care
he didn't respond i tried Machinima's
main contact email nothing they're
totally blanked
I tried their Zendesk which they sell up
you know in times for support or help
not a single response from them either
every single person machinima was just
completely ignoring me i felt totally
isolated but yet they were still coming
every month and taking money away from
me they did they never didn't do that
you know they kept taking from me every
month but the second i wanted something
they just turn the head and pretended I
wasn't there
the only reason why I got out is because
i was lucky enough to get an employee of
machinima on skype and so I basically
jump through all the hoops after all the
emails was eventually given someone
skype who worked machinima and that was
a huge barrier cross because I never
even got response to the emails and to
get someone on skype was amazing the
weird thing is this guy was really
supportive
he actually helped me and he was really
communicate even responded pretty much
instantly when he could he was actually
really supportive and this was weird
because in the past I've just been
completely ignored by machine emerges
with these walls of copy paste emails or
usually just no response all what I
remember this guy is saying to me was
what we can do is we can increase your
cut and give you a better coat and at
that point I was just sick of machinima
i absolutely hate it I hate being
ignored
I hate having problems with ad revenue
or copyright notices and how they just
ignored me
so when he gave me that offer I sorry as
machinima saying to me you know come on
jump back down into the rabbit hole
but I didn't want to do it I I wanted
nothing to do with machinima so I said
to him you know you're a nice guy
I appreciate the offer but no thank you
just get me out machinima and he was
just like yeah sure
and within a week I was on partnered for
machinima
the thing is though actually had a bit
of a revelation because after talking to
that guy that employee machinima who was
actually really helpful and really
supportive
I realized that
machinima isn't total cancer but the
front of it is the walls of emails the
copy paste text in my opinion
machinima have basically taken on so
many applicants and so many affiliates
that they don't have the resources to
support all of them so they hide beyond
copy paste emails or just ignoring
affiliates as a whole completely
you've got a few employees like this go
help me scrambling around trying to help
or contact people but that just isn't
enough manpower or not enough resources
this is Machinima's fault this is like
you know the higher-ups in machinima who
thought would be a good idea to take on
as many little aspiring minecraft
youtube kids as possible
most people join the machinima books
that were naive and they didn't
understand how bad the system was
that's the entire reason why they've
done so well and when you need help
and when you need support you either get
a copy paste email with the information
that isn't helpful for you get totally
ignored and honestly
machinima isn't the only one to blame
I've been with a few networks now and
the majority of the murders garbage
honestly they give you little to no
support but machinima is definitely at
the bottom of the pile or one of the
bottom ones at the pile but they're not
the only offender you know like i said
i've been with a few networks and the
majority of the measures garbage
the one with now I'm thankfully enjoying
it and they are actually very supportive
and they're bringing the opportunities
and helping me grow so thankfully i
found a decent network you need to do
your research before you join a network
because the majority of them are going
to want you to sign on for a year or
more or so
never sign on to a contract for more
than a year never ever do it's the worst
idea a lot can happen in a year and by
the end of that year you might want to
jump ship or something so
and if you saw none for more than a year
you're not going to have that
opportunity a prime example of a
worst-case scenario with the network
would be a close friend to me Ross boom
socks and he's been start with machinima
for a very very long time now and he
didn't have the luxury of me of meeting
at the right contacts and getting out of
machinima
unfortunately all the context that I met
have been laid off from machinima and
this is an infamous thing that happens
with machinima basically anyone you talk
to is usually then laid off by machinima
assuming that they take on a lot of
employees during the summer or winter .
and then lay them off the next year
so you've always got a job
upon to another contact or another
person and whenever you try to get
something resolved your forward it to
someone else who just got employed and
they need to take time to learn your
case and what's going on
it's a horrible vicious cycle i'm ross
is stuck in the middle of it now but he
has a lot of support he's actually
recently being on DramaAlert with Keemstar so
I'm hoping that he'll get a lot more
recognition and machinima will you know
eventually see you know that a lot of
controversy is being started by this
just complete neglectin some people and
hopefully they'll turn around I hope you
guys enjoyed this video sorry it was
more of a serious tone one book
honestly I have a lot of deep hatred for
the way I've been treated by machinima
and now that's happening to my friends
and other people
I feel like it's really time to expose
them and show them who they are and get
people out of machinima and make sure
that you the viewer who is thinking of
joining machinima stay well away from be
sure to comment down below where you
want me to talk about next
and like if you would kick machinima in
the nuts I know I would
help me please, pyro kept me in his atic and i am being held kidnapped please send help and he is making me do the fucking subtitles call 911
