Parody: How I Achieved Reverse Monetization As A YouTuber

I've been playing with comedy on my YouTube channel. This is my third episode of the YouTube Rebel, where you don't get just one Jason, but three! The full script below is what I wrote out and acted out. It turned out pretty good (although I'm quite biased), and I've got a funny idea for episode four.

1: I'm here to talk to you about YouTube Reverse monetization. All these YouTubers are doing videos about how they achieved monetization but I'm the first one that's achieved reverse monetization in the history of YouTube!

2: Reverse monetization? That's not a thing.

1: Oh, it's definitely a thing. For those of you new to YouTube, reverse monetization is when your videos are so bad, you have to pay YouTube to upload videos.

2: If you have to pay YouTube? Why would you upload more videos? That's ridiculous.

1: Isn't it obvious? The point of uploading more videos to YouTube at a cost is to drain my bank account of all my savings.

2: If you want to drain your bank account, I'll be happy to help you.

1: Let me continue. The most meaningful part of this achievement.... I'm sorry it's just tears me up thinking about this movement and all the people that didn't make it possible.

2: Seriously? You're crying? What's so special? Did they give you a plaque or something?

1: Getting ahead of yourself there? As a matter of fact, they will give me something eventually, once I hit a deficit of 100k subscribers.

2: What's a subscriber deficit?

1: People can subscribe and unsubscribe, but if you're bad enough, they can punish creators too. So that increases the number of punishers. Subscribers minus punishers equals the subscriber deficit.

2: Punish? Sounds like a pretty dark function of YouTube. Why would they let the audience punish creators?

1: So, YouTube ran out of ways to make more money, so the only way they could increase their bottom line was by selling audience credits to punish creators.

2: ok. But, who would pay to punish creators?

1: Apparently a lot of people.

3: Hey, do either of you have any money?

2: I do but he's mostly drained his bank account so I can't imagine he'll have anything contribute. What do you need it for?

3: YouTube just launched this ability to punish creators and It's pretty exciting.

1: See, even normal guys like him are doing it.

2: I think I need to lie down. My brain hurts.

1: [zoomed in] And that's how I single handedly crashed the YouTube economy.

You're welcome [wink]
