Thank you, Thunder, so much for uploading this to TSG. I appreciate it a lot, man. Thank you for what you're doing in the community. You're just a really awesome guy, and I really do appreciate it. But let's jump right into the— what? Wait, what? I should kiss up more? People who kiss up have a better chance of getting featured on TSG? Alright, okay, I'll kiss up more. Um, Thunder, you're just the greatest person ever. I mean, Thunder, you're the reason I bought Black Ops 2. You're the reason I bought an Xbox. You're the reason I live. Thunder, and I owe it all to you. I owe everything to you, Thunder. Um, yeah, is that enough kissing up to get me on TSG? That— that maybe— maybe I should do— I'm not gonna kiss up anymore. I think that was fine. Alright, now that I gave myself an actual chance of getting on TSG, let's jump into the topic. Now typically over here you guys talk about Black Ops 3, and I guess I'll go ahead and follow that trend. But I'm not just gonna sit here and be like, Black Ops 3 looks like a great game, I'm so hyped for that, oh my goodness, did you see the trailer? That looks so sick, I'm so hyped for it. I'm gonna give you my opinions on how I think it will affect YouTube. I'm the I'm not the biggest FaZe Clan fanboy ever, but if I have to go another week watching them do a Black Ops 2 cutcom for the 3rd year in a row, I'm gonna rip my eyes out. It's just, I've seen it way too much. I've already seen everything. I've seen every trickshot, every tomahawk. Black Ops 2 is so old, and Advanced Warfare and Ghosts suck. I strongly believe when Black Ops 3 comes out, it's gonna rebirth the pub stomping community. You see, no one cared about pub stomping in Advanced Warfare and Ghosts, because no one liked the game. Pub stomping is only relevant when the whole community is playing the game. As when you play the game, you know, you play for 2-3 hours and then you're like, oh wow, I did pretty good. And then you go on YouTube and you look at how everyone else is doing, you see this person get a 200-kill gameplay. It's— pub stomping is only relevant when people are actually interested in the game and actually care about it. And I firmly believe that people will care about Black Ops 3, which will bring back the pub stomping community, which has been basically dead for the past 2 years. Not only do I think it will bring back pub stomping, but I think it will strengthen the sniping community and just make it explode. You see, the sniping community has been strictly on Black Ops 2 the past 2 years, over 2 years, and it's just become so stale. Yet they still pull in 150,000 views per video. People like FaZe Rain, all those top FaZe Clan members. The sniping community is really the only reason Call of Duty is still relevant, and I think the second they get mixtures in their gameplay, the second they get a new game, I think it's just gonna take FaZe Clan and those guys to a new height. The top-tier FaZe Clan members like FaZe Rain are pulling 150,000 views per video. On a game that's almost 3 years old, a game that we've already seen it all before, and they're still pulling these ridiculous amount of views per video. And I firmly believe once you get some variety in there, get a new game, get some hype going, they're gonna be pulling over 300,000 views per video, which is just gonna be ridiculous. I really feel like FaZe Clan is just gonna explode during Black Ops 3 because there's just gonna be so much hype built around it, and it's finally gonna be a new game that everyone enjoys, in my opinion. Obviously lots of new YouTubers are gonna rise up during Black Ops 3, but I also believe that these YouTubers that got famous off of fake reactions and buying tons of supply drops and making view whores videos about them, I think their channels will die off during Black Ops 3 because then they'll actually have to make quality videos. And I think the only thing they actually know how to do is cheat the system and buy supply drops. And I think during that time, their channels are gonna slowly decrease in view count and they're gonna be completely irrelevant. Alright guys, well, I tried to keep the video short and to the point. I just gave you guys my opinions. I'm gonna wrap it up here because you guys have the attention span of a monkey and I know you're not gonna watch the video that much longer. And I don't wanna make a video if no one's gonna watch it. So yeah, that's my opinion on YouTube during Black Ops 3. I'd love to hear what you think is going to happen, and hopefully you enjoyed.
