Making EEVBlog profitable

[coppice]

I noticed Dave only gets around 50k views on his videos. I suggest renaming the channel to "Extracting Eggs Video blog" and start making videos about opening and assembling toys from those chocolate eggs.

Yes, the worlds #1 youtuber unboxes kids toy:
http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/disneycollectorbr
She earns between $5-10M a year and has 10 times more views on one video than I have on all my 800 videos over 5 1/2 years.
Clearly I'm doing it the hard way.

Your own most successful activity is opening packages, so why the critical tone? She focussed entirely on what works. It seems you can't bring yourself to (I don't think I could bring myself to, either).

Its kinda sad through. Taking toys our of boxes gets someone $5M per annum. Putting them into those boxes gets someone $2000 per annum.

Probably add a zero to that $2000 number but still not  a living wage

$2000 is on the high side. A lot of toy manufacture has moved to Vietnam or Indonesia where even $1000 per annum is on the high side. In those places it is a living wage, although not a great living.

I live 4 miles from the the Kinnerton chocolate factory where they make those Kinder surprise and other equally revolting  chocolates.
The smell when they unload the tankers is truly appalling, yes the so called chocolate arrives by tanker and is pumped into storage tanks before it makes it way through the factory and none of theire products taste of chocolate.

I could never stand Kinder surprise. I remember the first time I tried it. It was so disgusting I spat it out on the drive outside the house and pretended that cat had been sick!

I've always loved chocolate but Kinder surprise isn't chocolate.

i encountered 1 myself, not a wasp ... but a black goop of something (i still have it frozen in my fridge LOL)
you can try to send in a complain ... but nobody will talk to you ... they reply you "thank you for your FEEDBACK" lol
if the entire world population died by eating contaminated nestle chocolate ... thats it ... snap a finger, all is quiet, nobody knows who kill the entire world ... "thank you for your feedback" indeed pffft lol

Fun fact, insect contamination up to a certain percentage is considered (by the FDA) a cosmetic defect, not a food safety issue. Same for hair, mold, maggots and feces. For fruit juice it's something insane like 4 maggots per liter. Not sure what the European standard is, probably similar.

Sure there are channels or jobs that bring more...

But i would have stayed at 1 of the two best-payed jobs I had, I would be a complete alcoholic now.
Bore-out.

Not sure about other locations, but in Australia there are several food labels you should look for...
(Correct as of mid 80s)

CHOC - is not chocolate.  (e.g. Choc coated, Choc flavoured etc)
PROCESSED CHEDDAR - is not cheese.  e.g. those slabs of plastic sandwich filler.

Read the back label, its not obvious at all.  I only learned from making  a lot of TVC in the 70s/80s.
The number of weasel words in marketing and sales is astounding

Half naked women, dancing to that psi song, with kittens playing at their feet, while unboxing disney toys, as they eat kinder eggs.

Whilst reviewing the latest iPhone and blowing something up.

When can we expect this video?  I promise to watch it 50 times whether I like it or not 

[coppice]

PROCESSED CHEDDAR - is not cheese.  e.g. those slabs of plastic sandwich filler.

It wasn't even Cheddar cheese before it was processed, but just what the heck was it? The people of Cheddar should really engage in some trademark enforcement, even if there is only one cheese making operation actually left in the Cheddar Gorge.

They're also illegal in the states.

Wait, seriously?
On what grounds/excuses?

Potential choking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#United_States

If you scroll up a little three children died in the UK after choking on toys inside the eggs in the year 2000.

Let's get this into perspective.

A few kids might die from choking on a Kinder surprise, but many more kids die in the USA due to being shot dead. You can get fined US$2,500 for bringing in a kinder surprise egg into the USA, but it is legal for any drongo to own a gun. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/toddler-accidentally-shoots-woman-in-idaho-walmart-9950847.html

90 guns per 100 people in the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country

In Australia, we can buy Kinder Suprises at the local store without the risk of getting shot. I know of no cases whgere kids have choked on a Kinder Surprise in this country. And I can walk anywhere in this country and know that I will be safe from some loser pulling a gun on me.

This is the same as the general problem with bad movies, bad novels, and pretty much anything else bad in some form of media. Its natural to want to see just what the stuff is like, but if you do you've helped make a profit for it.

Nothing wrong with that. It helps to make this food healthier, because it adds some more protein to otherwise mostly sugar and fat

[LEDAero]

The difference is she has titties. People like titties. Or will watch videos for the potential titties

And beer... I thought I had made that point already?

Here - more evidence.

[LEDAero]

also the plastic "egg", you can never get them opened so you end up biting on them which makes them "pop" apart. Haven't had one in along time but I believe they are now as signle part and have holes in them

Damn, really? They used to make the best 'wet, motorcycle-riding, tobacco and papers holder' going...

My supposedly 'dry lined' inside pocket was a sponge, but nothing got through that little yellow egg. My friends without fingernails weren't so happy, but if they choose to lose an evolutionary advantage, fk em...

Or even further in perspective: In the US, choking is the leading cause of injury and death among children, especially those younger than 4 years of age. The majority of choking-related incidents among children are associated with food, coins and toys.

On average, a child will die every 5 days in the United States from choking on food - so they should just ban food for anyone likely to choke, right? More kids have died from eating hot-dogs than ever died on a Kinder toy...

Idiocracy is alive and well in the US.

Yeah, because the penal code in your country is so much better.

Brunei Sharia penal code

Seriously, why does everything has to revolve around us? People should clean up their own backyards before pointing fingers 

[Yago]

Looks like someone got what they used to be called

[Rigby]

They're also illegal in the states.

No joke!  You can get serious fines for trying to bring those over the border.   

They used to be.  They aren't anymore, I'm told.

Edit: I read somewhere last month that the toy is now encapsulated inside a plastic shell, so the choking hazard goes away.

Of course, now, I can't find a damn thing to support my memory.  Maybe I'm schizo...

Kinder Eggs used to be great back in the 80ies when I was a kid. The "chocolate" tasted great and the toys used to be cool.
I haven't had a Kinder Egg in 20 years or so until a couple of months ago my employer brought a whole palette of the things in to work. We each got one and the male workforce reverted back to little boys, as you'd expect. The guys who got a car in their egg were the kings. I only got a stupid crocodile .
The chocolate is disgusting, btw. We all agreed it used to be better, probably is still the same muck as 25 years ago, though.

They changed the yellow capsule that holds the toy, it used to be two halves pushed together now it's a hinged lid affair.

Used to put a load of freezer spray into one of those capsules, throw onto a colleges bench and giggle as it pops.
Yes, I know so immature

Why?  Because it makes them feel better about themselves.  Carroll Shelby once said that it was better to have people say bad things about you than nothing at all, at least they are taking notice.

[LEDAero]

Not my country...

But the last time I looked, yours was locking up more of your fellow citizens than any other single country in the world, both in raw numbers and as a rate - and when it comes to executing them, you are right up there.

The last execution in Brunei was in 1957.

Seriously, why does everything has to revolve around us?

Because you pretend you are the best. It's called the Tall Poppy Syndrome.

[miguelvp]

We don't pretend anything the rest pretend for us
