Free registration at the forum removes this block.I guess what I meant was, if it takes me 2 hours every couple of days to make one of these, and it happens to explode and get noticed, it was a really good investment, and works as a way to advertize my website. Not like I'm relying on it, but it's surely not a waste of time.
There is a guy "Pewdiepie" who ends up making around 10-32K a day, because all of the other videos pile up and the views don't stop.
And that's like saying to MJ when he first started his business "What do you make a day and what do the other limo websites make?".
Just because you don't make something right off the bat means it's a bad idea?
I got a kick out of that
So what happens if youtube decides to keep all ad revenue?
What happens if my tire blows out tomorrow and I drive off a cliff.
You know what would happen? People who live off it (A.K.A people who make the MOST views) would stop making content (Considering it's their job), and eventually, all of the money would stop flowing in and in the end, end up screwing google over.
This is the funnies section, right? Was the first post not funny?
Video games are a waste of time.
I just know people who are into them and they spend every waking minute of free time playing. That is a horrible way to live life. They don't seem to accomplish anything of value.
It's what you do with that entertainment that will value or devalue your time spent.
Entertainment such as golfing is a great outing to build or gain new business relations if used correctly. Whether you seek out the value or not is where it's going to determine time well wasted or well spent.
Video games are a waste of time.
I think videogames are our future as a culture.
Oh, and I guess there's this: using entertainment to clear your mind and relax you. Games are also a great outlet for aggression if you have those sorts of problems (video game therapy).Since when does being entertained have to have benefits such as gaining new business relations or gaining something of great value? What happened to just being able to relax for a bit and doing what makes you happy?
sorry, realized I had more to say on the subject:
I've taken up video gaming again recently. I had stopped for nearly a year while trying to build a biz... but 2012 was the year of self discovery. I realized I work best while taking frequent breaks.
I stopped playing videogames just because it wasn't supposed to be a productive thing. I recently learned that just because it's not productive for other people doesn't make it so for me. I now work for 30 mins on my biz, take a 10 min game break, repeat. My personal accomplishments per day have gone up SIGNIFICANTLY because I don't get so frustrated or bored with my work anymore.
I swear to god it's difficult for me to concentrate on the same thing for more than 40 mins at a time and I end up sitting there starting at my computer trying to concentrate and failing. Now that I've reintroduced videogame breaks, I found my productivity is through the roof.

I actually play an hour of video games daily. It's so relaxing:
I sit back on my bed, pop on Minecraft, work on building my castle, and listen to an audiobook. (Currently listening to Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers"). For some reason, my brain just learns better listening to audio while doing something kinetic.
Allow me to interject some advice. If you're going to listen to an audio book while not working, make it a business book or a self improvement one. Then you are learning at the same time.
I don't have an eggtimer next to me. I work until I get to the mental breaking point, take a refresher, and then work until I get to the mental breaking point. The mental breaking point is ALWAYS between 30-50 minutes.I would also tack on 2 cents about if you can concentrate for 40 minutes then make it 40 rather than 30. Your business is worth your attention, right?
It is a business/self improvement book.
It's number two on the list of books most quoted by millionaires for it's advice in chapter 2, "the 10,000 rule". Gladwell also wrote The Tipping Point which is another staple book for an enspiring entrepreneur to read.

Not to squander your free advice, but I've already figured out what's works for me.

You don't have to search for a business opportunity in EVERYTHING you do, just because you're doing something you enjoy doing that does nothing besides make you happy, doesn't mean that's time wasted.
How will you handle this in your new job? I would instantly fire an employee if he couldn't concentrate on work for more than 30 minutes and started to play video games.

Luckily, I don't know anybody like that, and just because you knew a few people that do doesn't mean you have to generalize.
