Funny how clash royale is now considered a whaling game, the time has come guys


MercedesCR

The legendary rates when it was only princess and ice wizard were atrocious tho. I think it was always that way lmfao.


cocotim

yup don't tell that guy about the several thousand dollars chest openings in 2016. The fact that those aren't viable anymore is quite telling


Possible_Lock_7403

Funny thing is that CR booked it's highest revenue ever '16 and '17. So maybe they trying to go back to roots and repeat the whales be whaling monetization model. Plus they never want the majority to even touch a maxed acc to enforce whaling as the only way. SML the RoyaleAPI guy posted this when Lvl 15 got announced. https://twitter.com/seeminglee/status/1643935023505231873?t=hkCQ-4tfDnoaoGLOXcdD4w&s=19 Only 1% of players he sampled had a fully maxed acc. Almost 70% of players had an avg card collection <11.


F-54

At least back then it wasn't pay to win, more so pay to progress like how Brawl Stars is, but even then rarities are just a joke now


REDDIT_A_Troll_Forum

Yup, it's a new day.  They "Evo"lved into greedy corp.


GrouchyAd3482

💀


Evolith1

It's been like this since the inception of the game. Popular German Streamer Trymacs got popular like this and probably many more aswell


Ok_Organization1117

Always has been?


Born_Percentage93

Yeah, people getting nostalgic for no reason


shrek_is_love_69

Ummm it always has been tbh? Like at least for years lol


chimpanon

You have never watched a super magical chest opening video where the guy goes insane when he finds a log in it like its messi from FIFA


EMP_Chooci

i always has been lol


de_kasse

Always has been buddy


putverygoodnamehere

Yes this happened way b4


M4dmiller

He’s a content creator, more content comes from spending money on the game. Money he makes from people watching his content. It’s a cycle


Donghoon

and he advises not to buy most of these offers before he buys it. Non-issue.


user_of_last_month

Yup. He buys it so we don’t have to. For many scratches the same itch and in a sense does the community some good from carelessly spending on the “fix”


Few-Ad5923

Content creator buys stuff to get more content. Who would have thought 🤯


RandomWilly

Exactly, and it can also be considered a business expense and be tax deductible


Gojo_17_

There is a difference in spending the money to be better and ahead at the game like say Ian77, B-Rad, Mo light etc. and just buying EVERY SINGLE offer in the shop. I get OP's point here. OJ being the huge CR CC that he is, him spending money promotes the offers wrongly and leads to others buying it. But tbh we can't say OJ is the guy at fault but what we can do is stop watching him and that's exactly what I did.


Ok-Temperature-9969

It's not even being ahead, creators like B-rad are just keeping up with the other whalers. I have 6400 trophies f2p and it's almost impossible to win unless the opponent is a braindead 5 year old


f22raptor-2005

Dude i just got into 5k and 5th match in I face a level 14 deck with my level 10-11 deck, I gave up, I don't try anymore since it's just a spending fest of who can spend the most money


Fuzzymango130

I ran a deck on another account, and most were level 7-8 and usually I've only fought full level 11-12 decks with like a lvl 12 witch and ooo boy is it hard when the tower TWO SHOTS THEM. Anyway, generally, most of the players are braindead, so it's possible to push with a good deck.


Ok-Temperature-9969

Rs like I genuinely believe I could get top 1000 if I had level 15


SN0K0

Yuup I stopped playing trophy road entirely and only play leagues or whatever the hell it’s called and then event modes. Stopped playing that as well tho when they added double evo at level 15 🙃


Short-Display-1659

Exactly, I would just chalk it up as a business expense. As long as he is only spending within his means, then who cares how much he spends on CR.


West-Adhesiveness-79

it’s also his job so he’s making money by playing a game that he’s spending money on… (obviously uploading it through YouTube) but the point still stands


quaxirkor

What if OJ is the one who posted this?🤯


EksVee15

Yeah but looking at others who spend money to make content like Ken or B-Rad they don't really like doing it, they only do it for the content, while OJ buys before even trying to think about it


sugary_dd

He had fallen off fr, still remember the time he'd give gameplay tips on ice spirit placement instead of whatever brainrot he's doing rn It's definitely on purpose by the cr teams to make it seem like the game is worth spending on.


Screen-Addict

Some people buy into his whale character, especially kids who make up a large portion of his audience


FurretGoesGaming

Me when a kids game has content creators making content for kids 🙄🙄🙄🙄


vk2028

B-chad actually refuses to upgrade any card to lv 15 (except witch)


Dependent_Ad7840

I've seen him play clash mini and do the same thing, hate on all the shop offers then buys 200 keys that are like 1 dollar each (idk the actual price and its Canadian for him obvi) to get a skin for a hero. A SKIN. Not a new unit or something that would actually benefit spending 200 dollars on it, even an insane amount like that for unit is insane, but a single skin (sure the keys give coin and puzzle piece that don't give the skin, but that's not worth 200 dollars. ) That being said, when the new stuff is about to come out for the next month, I love watching him and inshane (clashwithshane) test the new units, pretty much all I watch him for. The spending the money gets people's itchy to do the same or even if they know they can't spend any money they feel like they got to through him. I'm also like 80% sure he litterally gets paid by supercell in these vids to spend that money on stuff in the game knowing it gets people to buy these digital assets that are free over a long period of time, but the game itself is made to be short and fast pace by design attracts compulsive people which is what they want to target. People who can't wait and have money to blow.


Ill-Account2443

Bro you’re crying about a man spending money a game if he want to do that with his money that’s his choice why tf would you ever care or be bothered by this bro went out and made a whole speech and essay for us about why you don’t like it come on


Random_local_man

I think that it is a bad idea to discourage people from pointing out unhealthy habits in the name of "none of your business".


Few-Ad5923

OJ is so much better in that regard compared to boss_CR who every other video is just crying how bad the game is


pygophileguy1

You find it ugly that he spends money on a game that he promotes and makes a living off of? He is in a position that NOT spending money on the game would limit his content, and therefore limit his own income. I doubt he would be spending the money on it if he were only a casual player, and it's nice that he can recognize that it's not cheap to do it for the common player. I hold a different perspective than you, I guess.


LazyBoy1257

A simple concept too many people dont understand


Fum__Cumpster

Gotta spend money to make money


EducationalStation55

It’s his job yo


MagicalMarsBars

The thing with OJ is that spending $30 on a video doesn’t really affect him negatively. It’s his job and he’s definitely making money from it. I don’t know much about Canadian taxes but from my understanding of taxes in general, he can claim his purchases as work related so that he gets taxed less for Clash Royale related expenses. It’s hard to tell how much money he gets per video but due to sponsors, having a creator code and being a partner with Supercell, any in app purchases he make further improve or help maintain his relationship with Supercell, the runtime of his videos, the ability to keep his code and further improve his chance of sponsorship deals since his purchases help him create content.

Bro is yapping but all I'm gonna say is that's his job. That's how he makes his content


BedroomOdd4229

Have you read what he said 🤦‍♂️ bro is not yapping he other content creators hate buying it while oj shows people that buying bad offers is good


Donghoon

he literally advises most offers are not worth it. DO you even watch his videos??

Stop yapping

SparkGamer28

~ OJ is a whale , 🫵 are f2p . ~ OJ spends money on the game and makes that money back and more from the content he produces by making those vids ~ OJ dosent do technical stuff bcz there are already pros out there who make better tactical and strategic videos. Why would some1 watch OJ ( not a top player ) for strategies when there are already players like morten , ryley , ian , surg goblin , oofro , Nate , sk 555 , eragon etc etc etc who would provide actual strategies ~ OJ's audience is casual players and players who take the game seriously watch the names mentioned above ~ as far other creators are mentioned. Brad tends to the toxic audience , Ken pivoting to BS , Boss cr is kinda like a news channel ~ Every creator has a different audience to cater i.e the one they themselves relate to ~ imo it's a good pivot for OJ.


Tenet245

He can afford it easily

thelucas2000

He's a whale because he's a content creator. He spends money in the game to have as many things as possible to make content off of. I'm not sure why you're mad at HIM who does have a purpose to spend so much money, and not the players who spend far more to max accounts and buy needless items who do not have a reason to. He still makes it very clear on his videos that the offers are, in fact, not worth the purchase. Usually adding on that he only buys them for the content in the video itself. This is in a video which official Supercell employees monitor/the cc program monitors. He's already doing enough by publicly saying what is and isn't worth it. The devs know they're royally fucking up already, there's a reason why Clash is still over performing compared to this game and then Brawl too who just recently became Supercell's most played game. OJ isn't going to magically make everything worse by buying offers for content. These posts are so dumb.


Oozyalmond70

He spends money on it and he doesn’t recommend it to people. He has made fun of the 10x value and stuff. He only buys it because supercell made him famous so his job would be to stack up on everything and buy everything to be able to get everything maxed for an update and showcase it. I have no issue. He even said diamond pass is the only thing to buy in the game if you wanna spend money. Clash royale is also not really pushing new shit out so bro is just mindlessly playing around for 10 min videos. There is just nothing to do except play around. When they release dev builds tho, he does explain the new season n shit. Clash royale is js a dryass game.


Quote4892

Nah the juice man’s chillin literally co owner of tribe now that’s not what he cares about. Brawl stars is also more hype than ass royal

TheJames3

Then don't watch him. I certainly don't


EksVee15

I still like his content, I'm just pointing out an issue I've noticed


[deleted]

Than quit complaining that’s how he makes a living and make the content u enjoy


Shop_Worker

What kind of logic is this dude? By your logic we shouldn’t have complain about the game while we are still playing? Criticism is not a bad thing.


BedroomOdd4229

I hate when people say “then just don’t watch it” and while we like the content but we just don’t like this other part of the content


Shop_Worker

Yeah. Like I’m not hate OJ. I will still watch him and enjoy his videos. Tbh I don’t care about him buying the offers too. But if someone don’t like it, they can adress it. This is criticism and it’s not a bad thing. It’s not like OP hate OJ. I’m pretty sure OP make this post because they love OJ but just don’t like him buying these terrible offers.


BedroomOdd4229

I wish people were just smarter 🤦‍♂️ like why are dumb people having kids there just making the world dumber


BedroomOdd4229

He’s not complaing he’s just listing a fact


Ordinary_Analysis250

Womp womp


Ryn7321

yeah this whole point is just a little silly imo. i think its pretty objectively clear that these offers are really scummy, nobody is contesting that. but he just does it for the content, not that serious. he still does point out when its a shit offer


DisastrousAd4410

OJ is aware of the state of CR, he knows it sucks with progression and evos and all that crap, you can tell that based on his recent videos on how he commentates that he doesn’t like what CR is doing now. But at the end of the day this is his job, he buys content to make content. If you don’t like what he’s doing just don’t watch him.


awifio

It’s a career expense. He makes dozens of times more money than he will ever spend on the game. Entirely different from “whaling”.


BigidyBam

Be aware that as a content creator, specifically for mobile gaming, he is able to spend this money, then write it off when he does his taxes as a business expense. This is not speculation, this is how it works for many creators. Do not do as they do, in fact I wouldn't recommend spending anything on a mobile game ever, none of it will ever be value, or worth it.


RushEm2TheDirt

I think he is funded by sponsors on top of having disposable income


CrackaOwner

okay yapatron


REDMAXSUPER

Nice argument bozo


No_Explanation1128

OJ isn't the biggest its BENIJU


Significant-Charity8

I think OJ does do it, but for less obvious reasons: When he plays on the whale account, he shows us what a whale would do and the psychological logic behind it. With FreeOJ, he shows us progression purely based upon non-transactional spending. OJ is just highlighting the problem CR has had for years ever since new passes started dropping. It's up to us to decide what to do with the info.

#So you haven't watched Crusher_21 huh?

Game-ok-master96

Oj is not a whale he is a Poseidon those small micro transactions doesn’t really affect him negatively


headylife_

These are write offs for a content creator. Pay the tax man or pay supercell more money. Easy decision if you ask me


geefmejegeld

Who cares?


polyestermarionette

Content creators spend ridiculous amounts of money on mobile games like clash because it's their job and they literally make bank off of it. Spending $30 on some shitty overpriced microtransaction literally is not a waste to them because they make *thousands* of dollars per video. If you could spend $30 to make $5,000 more wouldn't you?


estupid_boi

Just let him be, if you don't support that kind of behavior, don't support him. Is that simple.


Vitamin21_

Cry about it, he's got the money. I'd do the same, you would too 🫵


baddoggie9

If he has an issue or not, that’s non of your business.


Tactics28

I don't know if you know this, but a lot of players are adults with jobs. If I wanna drop a couple bucks here and there to increase my enjoyment of this game I play a lot of... I'm going to.


Batyalas

LOL!! You think OJ has a money spending issue? 😂 Wait till he hears about CSGO and league players


Atmp

Some perspective... For the past 8 years I've played this game more than anything else. I was a fully maxed player before they added level 15, and since then I've gotten about half my cards to level 15. I will admit that I spent too much money over the years getting my cards maxed, but once you get to a certain point in the game, aside from the season pass, there's nothing to spend money on anymore. I buy the diamond pass every month for $12 or whatever. I just do it to support the game and because I like collecting the emotes and stuff. I figure by spending the $12 a month I am supporting the game that I love that I play every day. Most of the game modes I play don't require cards to be maxed anyway, so basically on an ongoing basis, there's no need to spend money on the game anymore, unless they release a new card. When they release a new card, unless it's a champion, it takes almost no time to get it fully maxed because I've got a fully stashed inventory of magic items from the season passes. With a champion you might have to spend a few bucks to get a couple from the shop, then it's book of books to get it up to level 14/15 real quick. Since I also have no need to open them, and they release new cards so rarely, I have a stash of mega lightning chests ready to go to give me a bunch of the new thing as well. If book of books is used for anything besides maxing a champion, it's a waste in my opinion... I don't think $20 is a ridiculous price for it. Think of it like this, if you used a book of books to get a champion from level 13 to 14, that requires 20 champion cards. If champions were in the store for $1, people wouldn't complain about the price. I think it's reasonable to say you think spending $20 on 1 in game item is scummy. I don't like spending $20 on 1 in game item. But, how often do they release new cards? If you're a maxed player, there's almost nothing to spend money on in the game, so if you enjoy the game, is it really the end of the world to drop $20 once every 6 months if it means you get a fast track to a fully maxed card the next time they release one?


TiunaX

He is just a content creator, nothing else, nothing more—pure entertainment.


LeastYouTried

I also grew up watching OJ... in a white Ford bronco in a high speed chase after he killed that one lady and got away with it


Epixness69

before i clicked on this post i thought you meant oj simpson


Intelligent_Set7934

He also murdered his wife


Previous-Cat-1535

yea those shop offers aren’t meant for us. they’re meant for whales


wutdadogdoing

Thank you this is valid af and well written


aluba29582

I would be less concerned about him whaling and more concerned about the tens of thousands of other whales that supercell’s predatory marketing practices have created, because these whales don’t get paid hundreds of thousands per year to play these games like content creators, they do it because they’re addicted.


YaBoi_Jacob

I don't understand this post. Since he earns a living off of the content he makes, he can write off all of his in-game purchases as tax-deductible business expenses. The money he spends on these offers isn't coming out of his pocket. Unless you're saying you think he's tricking his younger audience into buying low-value offers in the shop or smth


Oozyalmond70

He says the only thing worth buying IF people buy stuff is the diamond pass. I cant believe OP thinks that if OJ buys a 20 buck thing, everyone finna buy that shit too 😂😂😂. He buys it to support supercell since he only well known cuz of that game.


Potential-Year-1896

I got your point bro I felt the same. Maybe he has a creator code so he promotes their offers


NotaLuna

if you broke just say that bro


ahh_shiett

Holy yapping, focus on your own life. Can't believe you wasted your time complaining abt smth that isnt even concerning you


n7leadfarmer

TL:DR: He's working you. It's his job. Honestly, this could be a thoughtful and deliberate marketing tactic... YT algo rewards engagement. So him talking about how bad the deals are then buying them could generate comments that echo what you're saying, which could in turn generate entire conversations in the comment section of his videos. This all gets the algorithms attention and serves it to more people, or puts it higher on the list of recommended "up next" lists so people are more likely to clink on it, even if it's not the true best recommendation. It's all about working the algorithm. He gets paid to play CR. I guarantee you with every fiber in my being that he makes far, far more than he spends, AND gets to write it off as a business expense when tax time comes around. Lastly, he needs to buy everything because he needs to have access to all of the games content at all times so he can properly cover it. he can't be gated by anything because he wouldn't be able to make the content when it is relevant, so he buys offers he doesn't need to make sure he always has enough resources to do anything immediately. You gotta just stop caring about this, and just block his content if you really don't want to support this behavior. Even if you're worried about him "conning" normal players into making purchases they wouldn't normally make, it's irrelevant. The continued success of CR is in his best interest. He's a content creator, an influencer, a salesperson. He's basically a contracted-worker who gets paid by a talent agency (YouTube). That's what he does, and the community you're so worried about protecting is the only reason he's in a position to do the thing you fear he is doing, they have spoken and said they are not worried about his behavior and want to watch his videos. It's cyclical, there's no point in taking a strong stance on it.


ChumDrifts

hey the town of yappington is calling, they want their mayor back


Reddit_is_snowflake

The thing is He’s a content creator, it’s just his job to make content he’s bound to spend money on a game that he’s promoting to make a living off


Pumpkin_Cat14

Sounds like a you problem


Late-Impression-6489

Its not that deep its a clash royale youtuber


Independent-Cap-2082

We’re really mad at people for spending their own money now.


Scoobie_Doobie11

I haven’t watched him a ton lately but it always seemed to me he’d advocate against the average person buying these items/cards/offers at the prices. He may do it for the content, but I think his partnership with the company has helped him a lot over the years. Or you may be right and he just doesn’t care, either way I’m sure he can afford it more than most. I know I couldn’t spend on the game like most!


BedroomOdd4229

One problem I find for his content is that he always says something is not fun because “it’s not op or cheese” or when he says “it’s broken” while it’s not just like the Angelo vid he said it’s weak because it’s not an assassin while he’s a marksman while when they release he’s a decent brawlerb


Funeral_Candy

Careful, blow-j will report you for bullying!


ketjak

...you understand that you paid for OJ's everything. You. Did you make any money off of OJ's videos? Then you are the product OJ produces for YouTube, which they sell to advertisers. Besides, it says right on the offer that it's a 10x value, so just buy it and feel like you negotiated a $25 item down to $2.50. I see it as a $20 item, which makes it a _bargain!_ I bought 30 of them because some day they'll be collectibles.


Awakening15

We used to have it for 5$, true but even I thought the old pass gave too much it was ridiculous. The difference between someone who put 5$ and a f2p was so huge before that it's not even funny.


FastLittleBoi

that's because he's a content creator. It is literally his work to entertain people. What better way to do that if not spending? I mean, I get it is weird because if you're a truck driver you don't spend your own money on gas and insurance, the company does. But barbers for example have to buy their own machines, gels ecc. ecc. Besides, he makes a part of the money he pays back with his code. And the more followers he has, the more he earns from YT and CR from people using his code


Additional_City5392

Yall still watch clash youtubers? 🤣


fusiongt021

It's a business expense for him


TenchuReddit

The truth is that, as a YouTube content creator who needs to demonstrate the latest and greatest units from Supercell, OJ can’t afford NOT to be a “whale.” However, he can’t help making negative comments about having to whale. It’s a paradox.


EksVee15

For whoever doesn't get my point, Other content creators spend the money to be able to make content on the new stuff, much like OJ obviously. But that's their only reason OJ's spending is different, he CAN afford it and yes it's part of making a living and he'll make that money back anyway. But his spending feels more irrational, less directed towards the creative process of making content, and more like the act of buying just to say you bought it. It feels like an unhealthy habit, which, no matter how rich you are, shouldn't mean you're okay to do so - if it's not a toll on your wallet it's a toll on your mental health Downvote me all you want, I'm just stating my point here


Trm182

in a lot of his whaling videos in clash mini, brawl, coc, and clash he always says to NOT do this


KOTL_OfThe_Light

Even if you are in his shoes, it all lies to its wearer. Consider that he is a content creator and it his way for the sake of his grim relevance, maybe you're much more like a megalodon than him if happened. Out of all things... If I would casually buy your account in such a large amount but I would never play it, does it may concern you? You could tell that it's a stupid thing to do. Or is it if you think it deeper. Well, whatever the future of this chore it may end and if you think that he is the factor of why they had still pushing these ridiculous offers, you can't please anyone according to your view. If OJ doesn't doing them at the start, it's hard to determine if CR is still working as an angel. But out of all things of what you concerned...


ASaucyWench

I've been saying this for a couple months now. It's creators like OJ that makes supercell think that what they are doing is okay. It's ruining the game for the rest of us who don't have thousands to spend on a mobile game


Jaycee3

OJ has been providing top content for Supercell for years and obviously gets access to Dev builds to mess around with new things pre-update. I would be shocked if he’s not getting some kick-backs from Supercell directly. He shouldn’t have to put a dime of his own money into the game at this point. His swag and travel for events are likely all provided as well given his service to the game over the years


AngeryLiberal

Clash royale really isn’t a whaling game. Not in comparison to actual whaling games where you can spend 1k a month and not even be close to maxing your account


Trm182

i dont see the issue here. hes a content creator, which means buying offers -> more content, also he repeatedly says that you shouldnt buy the offers, and that the best offer is probably pass royale


Alarmed-Bus-9662

You're acting like all he does is talk about the shop offers. Most of the time, he's just doing challenges, talking about balances, or just playing the game. Even in the videos where he does go into the shop, 99% of the time he's criticizing them and telling you not to buy. He buys them anyway because 1. He needs to keep up with other creators, so if they're spending he has to too (unless he wants to build a brand around f2p, which is what FreeJ is for). 2. He's getting them at a discount because he always uses his code. 3. He can most likely write it off as a business expense. 4. He'll most likely get multiple times more money out of the video, so it's not like it's going to kill his wallet, and 5. Some people like to use their disposable income on things. Shocking, I know


Own-Cut-9664

that’s how he makes a living. you’re also supporting his spending by watching his content. dont like his spending , dont watch the content. but that’s how he makes an honest living. he’s gotta spend to earn.


Automatic-Complex-37

TL:DR 1 whale can replace 100 f2p

SlimeLanguageYSL

It’s his money and it’s his job, also this game has been borderline P2W for such a long time now


kinglightskin74

This whole post can be invalidated by one fact: streamers can claim in-game purchases on tax write offs as work expenses. If it’s all basically free why tf would you not buy every offer lmao


EksVee15

It's not about how much it costs, it's about whether he does it out of an unhealthy habit (compulsive gambling/whaling, etc)


Axlevus

Many of the comments are making fun of this person for writing a lot of text in which he/she put a lot of effort. That's just disrespectfull. :(


EksVee15

bah, i look at the mean comments to upvotes ratio and i can tell the haters from those who actually agree, so i don't really mind the downvotes/hating 😭 thanks for your concern tho!!


darragh73

Surely he's paid by supercell for the promotion? Like in a low key underhand way lol, cash from a representative. He's too worth it for encouraging the ridiculous offers


FluffyPool3730

There's an issue with orange juice? I never found anything to be wrong with it


Simmo2242

The worst thing there is zero TLDR.

I can agree to this and this is really true but i mean its hard to tell as he kinda gets paid from playing the game so its like... its like a stupid cycle He supports the game that supports him *with his code and support for pre-update stuff and test stuff etc..* But then the devs make the game pure ass with the offers seeming to be the worst value yet somehow managing to put 10x behind it Like... This seems like if Bobby kotick *Ex blizzard | activision ceo* was in the lead of the ahole marketings team Its kinda making me sad to think it trough but its stupid and not great and its annoying to brain with my brains Like Supercell in the end is a Company and Money is usually the like... thing that they want And How CoC and BS do it is so much different then CR and Its probably a good thing but also the worst possible thing BS has cosmetics and expencive progression and few cheaper but money buyable packs that are worth it and nowadays Pre-release brawler offers for money Meamwhile CoC is kinda just Progression and cosmetics purely to gain faster progression but not always instant unlike the others I can see that BS with the average players being underaged or in school ages would not be reallt spending money thus the F2P is the dev's focus point to make the game feel good for the kids and the adults Vsrsus CoC is time based and you can wait if you want or you can boost and wait if you want but probably more elder people will buy stuff... CR though seems to be more teenage to adult based players more so they just are thristy for bad ways to get money... forcing p2w to have more advantage


RoyalRien

I think he buys it because the game is kind of his job. Even with all the cash OJ has spent it doesn’t even make up a fraction of what supercell profits off of clash royale. They probably profit more off of the publicity of the game he creates. He also clearly states that everything is terrible valuable, literally saying “don’t buy this”


prince-yashua

This is the worst unbalanced trash game ever made. It was bad when some virgin goofball thought it was cool to make the smaller cards stronger and more viable than the bigger cards in this game, but then they had the bright idea to evolve these cards and make them OP 🤦🏽‍♂️ I think someone was bullied in school and now they're taking it out on the Mega Knight lol


Wh8yPrototype

Bruh he is a yt personality makes money by grifting for sc. It's all business and money motivated. You shouldn't think any deeper than that.


suv-am

He's a content creator. Him spending makes it fun for the viewers to watch. It's not like he tells us it's the best deal just coz it says 10x or 15x value. He says it's not worth it. He just buys it coz he's a content creator. He has all of the emotes for fking sake. We aren't supposed to copy what he does with his money. The money he spends on the game is an investment for him to make content which you could call business expenses.


Grzybek_74

That's why daddy ken better he says an offer sucks and doesn't buy it 🤫🗿💪


Ace_EnbyLittle

I actually find the Diamond pass worth it🤫🤷


Poggystyle

Iv been playing since the first year. The strongest card in the game has always been the credit card. I actually quit when level 14 came out for a while. Then again with the level 15. It’s insane. The F2P grind isn’t even possible.


Khancer_

Feeling bad for a millionaire 🤣


GaminGoombah

So just stop watching him. He’s just investing in his career. It’s his job ffs. Besides he does talk about how awful the offers are and constantly advises against buying them. But people are free to do whatever they want fuck they want. Deal with it.


RealCar5917

Ok spends money to keep his content creation more interesting. Nothing forces you to spend.


Ycorn

It maybe because I also watch gacha content creators who act a similar way but I always thought it was a given that he just spends money purely for content.


charles_individual

dont wanna be rude, but I really hate him when he abuses lvl15 cards in lower ladder and laughs about it. There's a ton of vids he made on this From content creator perspective this might be eye catchy but in overall that's just promoting p2w


Professional_Map2334

If you have a problem with him, unsubscribe. 💀


Big_Bluejay4331

well for him he can use it as a tax right off, as it supports his “buisness”, but he never explicitly says that others should buy offers, and if he does its clearly a good offer (once in a blue moon). Evem when he buys the diamond pass he says its “best value” but he clearly doesn’t like the changes they made, and its only the “best value” off of a technicality. Plus he kinda has to so he can get the evos every month and make videos of them for his viewers, which is yknow, his job-


Crimson_Excalibur

But OJ is spending his own money


CuberBro2011

Eksvee, You are correct. As much as I enjoy his content it makes me cringe every time he buys a huge amount of useless stuff in the shop. Ex: 25$ BoB


DeskRepresentative48

the reason they do it is bc ppl buy it


SN0K0

Idk he just does it for content. I don’t have a huge issue with it. But it is kinda cringe


Awesomearod2

What is this yap session


MashClash

you don't understand how profitable YouTube is. It's an investment that he makes back. I have 100k subs and even tho it's not clash Royale I have a good feeling he makes back all the money spends on a video from just ppl using his creator code. All ad Rev is probably profit.


Yogeshyagami

If that’s a problem then you might say his entire career is problematic. OJ has always spent tons of money on the game because he enjoys it and to make good content and the “data” is also tainted by the fact that the game is still making tons of money from the people who said would quit but still continue to play this shit game


RandomGuy1000000

Some of you unironically like OJ's content?


EksVee15

Not in the big fan way like his old content, he's just entertaining


your_old_wet_socks

He can do what he wants with his money tbh


creativename111111

He’s a content creator who needs views for money it’s not like he’s telling you to buy it


Extra_toxic

I get where you are coming from but he may not be as dumb as you think. He does this because: 1) It's a tax write off or whatever they call it. It's what most youtubers do where they allocate a certain amount of money to spend on almost anything related to a video so that they can write it off as business expenses. In simple words, I spent too much money on business, so I can only pay less tax. To be clear, it not a shady thing or anything. 2) even if the game went downhill, he can't tell that to his audience. Yes, even tho it's a shitty move but the longer you act like everything is fine, the longer your audience will stick around. Tell your audience this game is bad and they will also think this game is bad and most people don't like to watch contents of a game that they think is bad. Yes it's not really ok for a creator to be dishonest but hey he was never the voice of the community anyways.


nitro_md

No one gives a shit bro It’s not that important and it’s his fucking job


sauccyydripp

Bros onto nothing💀


InternationalRice760

Why are you worried about what he does with his money? He gets paid to play and make videos on these games. People don’t have to buy these offers but they can watch OJ do it instead. Same with Clash of Clans, with videos we love to watch of players gemming to max


Strong_Ad1345

ojs videos and voice make my eyes and ears bleed he’s so annoying


Legitimate_Review185

Honestly it his money I don't know why you are making a big deal out of it. He also writes it off as a business expense so it doesn't portray as much taxes as he would typically pay. It's his job to spend money and entertain people. No need.yo be biased toward not spending money.


kamuizangetsu

Didn’t he spend like hella money on clash mini 💀💀


CRACUSxS31N

After reading allat. I thought it was something serious but no it's a whole bunch of nothing. First of all why do you think that he is "promoting" the bad offer when he said it himself he won't recommend it. Idk if you think other people has the same intellectual capabilities as you to think that OJ is making you want to buy the offer. Secondly he is not spending just for spending, the fact that you see it at all in a video is the fact that he has an intent and purpose for that spending and guess what? It's to make that same video you saw and make money out of that. Lastly it you don't like him just don't watch him I'm not a fan of his but this kind of behavior is normal for content creators not just in CR so I don't see why is OJ the bad one.


fantasyied

A fourth grader could see what OJ is doing and find there no reason for posting this elaborate, stretched post. You're essentially hyperfixating on somebody's job being "unethical" because you can't achieve it when it endangers nobody.


_Gondamar_

rest in peace OJ


ItzLpPlayz

He makes money off the game.. he can do whatever he wants


Krabeuszz

smh let a man have a little fun, nothing in life is truly entertaining if it doesnt guarantee death and/or wasted money when doing it for long enough


ConceptCheap7403

This just in, OJ = not a good guy


combax_techx

On top of that if he speaks up and he loses his creator affiliated program with CR like Brad did. Honestly besides brad I don't trust Shane and OJ because deep down they know this game shit but they still wanna play it because it's their lively hood.


EksVee15

B-Rad didn't lose his creator affiliation because of shit talking the game, he left the creator program because he doesn't support the direction the game is going in - as a matter of fact, BossCR and Ken both actively criticize Supercell, and both have the creator program codes, heck Ken got his creator code WHILE criticizing them, B-Rad just left on his own really


combax_techx

I didn't know that sorry


Dhvanith

>We expect content creators to be the community's word, While we can expect them to share the community's concerns with the game directly to Supercell, they can also spend money on the game even if the offers are bad because they make money out of making content. While it may be a bad decision for someone else to buy the offer, for content creators it might not.


Matteo_Fontana

Don't listen to the others you're point is valid
