What about this? What if Nintendo had it so that on all Nintendo related content on YouTube that YouTubers put on to be monetized, only Nintendo Switch ads would play on them, and the YouTubers get the full ad revenue.
This accomplishes 3 things and makes both sides happy. 1st, Nintendo gets their advertising for their games and the Switch out there quite a lot. 2nd, it keeps the YouTubers happy and Nintendo gets good press because of it, which leads into the 3rd thing, that being that it then encourages more YouTubers to put out Nintendo content, which means more ads for the Switch, which means more exposure for the Switch.
What do you think? Do you think that this is a good idea, or that I am completely out of my mind?
I think part of the problem is that Nintendo want to influence the content of YouTube videos - the Creators Program only permits certain games, for one thing.
Really, though, it would make as much sense for Nintendo to just drop it and leave YouTubers alone. Videos are largely free advertising anyway. Their protectionist attitude is only hurting them here.
