That couldn't be farther from the truth. In every video he places ads and makes money off of views. In a way he is getting money off the videos because half of his material is video footage, and that's what people clicked on his video to see. He's like an "America's funniest home videos" version of youtube. and to say he's not making money off his videos? he's a youtube partner afterall..

And if you watch some of these videos, you'll see a bunch of comments like "thumbs up if RWJ sent you here" with like, hundreds of thumbs up. I find that extremely annoying, but it does show that thanks to his videos, the videos he reviews get even more views.

Even then, when I find one of these videos funny, I don't send them his video, I send them the original video which he puts on the description. Geez, it's not like he goes all "im in ur youtubes, stealin all ur videos".

I agree, you have a good point. Ray does generate some views to the original. but it's common sense, once you seen the video once, you're probably not going to see it again. Am I right?

except you're talking about youtube buddy. spill.com does some of the best reviews, and they did one on "Black Swan". They've been doing video reviews for a long time now. And all of a sudden, the review was taken down by Fox, and they lost youtube partnership. I feel wronged, because unlike them, they are actually doing things by the book, Ray on the other hand is not.

Votes, elaborated.

The Reviews.

You should compare the last and first page of the reviews, at the back there are the "This movie was good" reviews, at the beginning, or the "best" reviews, are the reviews that... well...

Just go have a few laughs, I know I had lol.

Even though those 1-voters and 1-star reviewers are complete idiots, because what they do is just stupid and close-minded.

Imdb actually understands, this movie isn't worth watching, how the idea got to the big screen is beyond me, that will remain a mystery. JB nail polish + JB fan movie = $$$

well.. i'd consider him a comedian, his material caters to a specific audience though. not good taste.

Kinect > Wii.

Kinect is a ripoff of the Wii. so for originality the Wii wins by default

It just seems to me like the forums are not as active as they once were. It just seems like it used to be every time I pressed the refresh button a new thread would appear. Maybe it just seems like it is less active because I am on much more now including the "off hours" when fewer users are on the site.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

it could be that most users considered the forum a fad and moved on to better things, like twitter. honestly, I have no clue as to the reasons of less viewers, but be happy you're still here Cootie :)

This is important and you should continue arguing about it.

well i've certainly seen some worse opinion threads, at least appreciate the fact that I put some time into that opinion. it's better then the thread, "hey guys, name one reason why america is better." at least my opinion does have some decent points (which you've missed a couple times). neither am I jealous nor would I want to be famous like him. stop trollin' Falonefal, it's almost like you purposely made a stupid response and know how I would react. I can see through your thin layer of intelligence, yes that's right (that's nerd smack talk). stop swearing every couple of words.

Chris, you seem like a nice person, so i'll tell you nicely.
You replied to the post which I said I am offended by that statement.
When you reply to something, usually it's directed towards you
So if what you said is not directed at me, don't reply to me.
Read what you put, 9/10 people would say it's directed at me.

and yet you still haven't answered your original question. can't even remember at this point.

I never said I hated Ray William Johnson, read my 1st response and tell me the part where I said that.

definitely not the greatest health care system according to Justin Bieber's statement XP

answer the question then, directed at me or not

there is 0 reason to hate on RWJ, he's just making videos to promote other videos even more.

You're not really understanding the jist of it. He does devalue the originals by whoring it out to everyone. Ray is not "the viral video hero" he doesn't say, "oh wow, your video was hilarious, i'm going to make it popular for you." Instead he says, "i'm totally going to use this for my comedy routine and make some hardcore cash." That's it, and if you think i'm jealous, read the response I gave to the other guy that said that.

At 2/16/11 07:37 PM, triplenoob wrote: Actually, loads more views are given to the video he "reviews". The number of comments saying "I got here because of RWJ" are countless. Normally, he shows about 2 min long videos, shows the middle of it so that people go see the entire clip. Personnally, I watch RWJ's videos, see if anything is funny in there, and go watch the whole video by myself, preferably from the original owner of the said funny/awesome video. And dare I say thousands of people do the exact same as me.

Not everyone does that. Understand that there is a lazy group of people out there who only watch the video from Ray's point of view. "Oh we gotta see what Ray says!!" Now to say "thousands of people do the exact same as me." That's very bland, you barely could list off one-thousand people you know, people will react in different ways. Ray gives no reason to watch the original videos, it's that simple.

Aww is that you and your gay little bitch?Seriously, you don't deserve to be on NG. They should have an anti gay system, where only straight users can join.

yeah, you would like that wouldn't you? too bad this site doesn't belong to you >.>

No, it's that you hate it, yet you run around bumping the threads you'd rather not see around.

LOGIC WHERE BE WHO BETWHATEVER.

hmm.. bumping the threads you'd rather no see around? ..for example?
not too sure where you're going with that statement. back it up.

It's ironic cause you did the same thing.

Anyway, there's ALWAYS some flaw to find in any celebrity that you and I know.
Your negative reaction at him mostly comes from the fact that he earns so much money and publicity by doing what he does.

I'll admit I don't completely like his way of doing what he does, but it's his style, and I can't interfere with it, and YouTube doesn't seem to mind, so really, ranting about how stupid it is how he does it is extremely useless in my opinion.

"mostly comes from the fact that he earns so much money?" Like i've said before, i'm not jealous, it's a simple opinion. That's right, and I should be able to talk about what I want as long as I have a good reason backing me up. You really just seem like a butthurt crybaby for posting that garbage.

and you also have an opinion, if you think it's extremely useless, then fine.. be on your way then.

personally i think its very wrong and nasty. something is seriously wrong with you if your into guys and your a guy.

also, the idea that your born with it, i don't buy it.

I just got done watching, "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" you should watch that movie, get some insight on gay people. to say it's "very wrong and nasty" i'm sure it is, because you don't really understand it, and being that you don't, you like to hate on it. you're going to get nothing but negative responses for a thread like that.
