Hi, I was thinking today...
What would happen if YouTubers lost their jobs? I took some time and though about it well. Here is what I came up with
If YouTubers lost their jobs?
We all know recently that Microsoft bought Mojang along with the other games for 2.5 billion dollars. Now everyone hated it, and other people try to calm them down. I am not about this. This is just a hypothises. Minecraft is really known out there in the YouTube community and its hard to imagine for someone to stop playing Minecraft on their YouTube channel if they do it on a daily basis. For example people who live off Minecraft on YouTube is CaptainSparklez, AntVenom, iHasCupquake, Bashurverse, etc. could lose all their jobs. The reason how they are gonna lose their jobs is because I think Microsoft has a whole avantage on Minecraft and could do what ever they wan't. Now Microsoft has been know for profits in the past. Microsoft really wants money and we all know that. Microsoft can pull a card for which is to make money off any Minecraft video on YouTube. You are thinking I sound insane but hear me out! Microsoft at the end of the day wants money, and want more profits off of something. Now 2 options can happen for the YouTubers. They can either 1. Still do Minecraft but their profits from a video can be cut almost in half and somehow live off that. Option 2 is to stop playing Minecraft and play something else, but maybe the person views will go down and so will the money for which maybe is to buy a new came to come out or work in the real world. They are both pretty hard because at the end of the day you are losing money than gaining money because of Microsoft.

Tell me what you think of this Article! Am I wrong in different or am I right in different ways? You guys tell me! Hope you like this!

UPDATE:1
I'm glad to see people take this seriously. If you want to see who's wrong and whose right then leave it down in the comment section. A bunch of these people are proving good points but I am here to answer some of them at the same time. While at it why don't you discuss this topic on Twitter or Facebook and see what your Follower's and Friend's think about this! Anyways onto the REPLY!

R: From Fox454x: "I have never heard of a game company take money away from Youtubers..."
A: You are right about that, Microsoft has not taken any money but instead give money. Maybe not all YouTuber's will accept the money for playing a game while at to they might pull a sneaky move. We are not to sure about what is going on.

I understand...A lot of the people hear seems like they are not reading the text and some are but this is a "What if.." and said it might happen even though it is stated what if it did happen.

Microsoft did say they wouln't do anything about the xbox part of minecraft. They haven't said anything about the pc part. I think youtubers would just switch to another game.

Wow, I think you are really delusional. This is the most foolish blog I have ever read. Microsoft owns Halo, they don't mind people making videos using the games for profit. Roosterteeth has been making videos since 2007, and Microsoft is actually very supportive. I have never heard of a game company take money away from Youtubers, that is absolutely ridiculous and counter productive because the fans make the game.

I am not delusional as you see. I said "This is just a hypothises" which means might happen or not happen.

I'm simply pointing out how you're incorrect. I see you think saying it's a "hypothises" makes you immune to any response that isn't in agreeance with your own opinions.

The title was changed to "What if" So this is just a thought while at it.
