Well it would be nice if Darkflow / Gaijin also rewarded / support Content Creators with things like Gold Orders and other things in-game. I mean after all they do advertise their “Partnership program”. The only thing is, it is incredibly hard to get into it and it isn’t a partnership at all (they thread people really badly).
I aimed to become a “partner” but after applying two times I actually am close to just say “fuck you” because of the way they talked to me.
The thing is: I as a youtuber actually wanted to grow with Enlisted, Enlisted isn’t that popular, even Quadro the most viewed CC (content creator) has “subpar” average views, compared to other games. After all I can advice everyone who wants to become a “big” youtuber, to look for other games, as the interest on youtube on the game is just not big enough.
Gaijin / Darkflow could with accepting more people into their program counter that and make it more attractive for CC’s to cover Enlisted. With the way how they talk down to CC’s and how they even didn’t give Quadro any gold orders the opposite is happening. I knew quite some CC’s who lost interest and stopped bringing stuff on Enlisted.
Tbh, every couple of weeks I am close to it as well. Do not forget it actually does take quite some time to bring the content. I often played not because I wanted to, but because I needed more/better content. Edits take quite some time, and as the viewer base / player base is quite low I rather do clips as Edits that take one to two days worth of WORK actually do not bring in more views. Also do not forget the cost for (editing) software and (storage) hardware.
I mean everyone can say “Than just stop doing it” yeah … that is true and like I said it was just the third time were I was like, I will just stop.
For now I will just bring way less content, because I am actually burned out, I do not aim to become an Enlisted Partner anymore, because I feel no trust nor respect at all. (one day they say one thing, the other another thing). Also I have a real life as well, a 5yo daughter, doing sports, meeting friends and stuff!
TL:DR I think gold orders and other in-game stuff would be a nice thank you to the Content Creators, that put, time and money into it to basically do free ads, especially as it seems like that Enlisted is so niche on Youtube that it actually is incredible hard to become “big”.
Just my two cents on the whole topic.
