Content creators are ruining MUT

I saw a tweet from a content creator, previously before saying that the confusion shouldn’t have ever happened, EA is lazy blah blah blah, proceeds to spend money to try to get the card and this is why the game we used to love will never change

here’s the tweet

Content creators need to realize something, to fix something that is happening now or even the past, it won’t just fix automaticly and something has to change, which is not spending money or at least spending less money not 50$+ every video 

And they can still have a successful career not spending money 

example: lets compare swift vs itsdom 

swift has more subs, he is NMS, little less views then itsdom but close, provides helpful insight per video 

itsdom: clickbait’s 80% of his videos, spends at least 100$ a video, yet has 30k subs less then swift 

Then theres other creators like zirksee, CC, guttfox to show if the pack is worth it. If it is “worth it” that makes the views want to spend their money on something that wont be worth doing spending a lot of money on a virtual game 

just wanted to get this off my chest

Some content creators absolutely. 
I started playing MUT three years ago with my sons who were 9 & 10 at the time. As a total noob a guy like Pop was very helpful and I got a lot of value out of his kind of content. I hate to tar Pop with the same brush as some of the other creators.

There is no doubt the pay to play aspect of the game is unfortunate and largely unnecessary.

If you stop watching the content creators, their funds will dry up, then won't be able to spend mindlessly on Madden.

I’m not sure why people are so interested in how much money others spend. It seems like it’s driven by jealousy, and I don’t think that’s healthy.

It’s the principle. i spend my money recklessly at bars but it’s the people spending weekly on cards that lose value within weeks that enables this predatory behavior from EA. we’re mad at EA.

EA knows that and that’s why we’re now stuck with 3m LTDs in october and 96 overalls going for 2m that arent even classified as LTDs

What they don't tell/show you is they say they've opened a $100 bundle. But let's be real, the bigger creators can spend $100 on probably 3-4+ accounts so they can get that thumbnail of them pulling an "insane OMG can't believe pull gotta watch!" just for their completely real and bewilderment of pulling the latest LTD card.

This

Unfortunately we have gotten to the point where this is all most content creators can do to make enough money. Guys like Don need their clickbait thumbnails and insane LTDs to lure in children that keep the view and watch time high. The few competitive Madden YouTubers need to spend money in order to have the best team and win. I appreciate the few guys who call out EA while not still consistently giving them money but the cesspool who spend hundreds of their earnings every week far outweigh them. And then some idiots will go and think they can pull the 20% chance LTD from an $100 bundle because their favorite YouTuber did. The scarcity of these expensive cards drives the price of the LTDs to 2-3 mil for a few days and players waste coins. Eventually this cycle goes on a few times a week and things like this will make the NFL renew their license with EA because all they care about is revenue instead of trying to make a good, enjoyable, realistic football game.

I think CC is a bit different, simply because most of the packs he opens are with coins. Even when he does get something good out of point packs he almost never says it was worth it.

It is not, and should never be, the responsibility of content creators to make EA fix things or change their ways. Nor should we be asking content creators to stop spending money. It will not change anything. Regular people will still spend money all the time on this game. There are likely thousands of regular people out there who spends hundreds every year on Madden who have never once watched a Youtube video, Twitch stream, opened Twitter or heard of this website. Stop misplacing your frustration on content creators. If you were in their shoes you would likely spend some money on this game too. It's literally their CAREER and they can write off the expenses anyways. Just my two cents, but to me this is misplaced anger. EA is the problem, not content creators.

CC is fine, he says the packs aren’t worth it he spends money on and he does spend a good chunk of coins on packs which is good

itsdom and guttfox are by far the worst
