Wizardry System - Chapter 63
The next day, the two videos that Madeline made was posted onto Youtube while they were at school.
“Oh, I’m kinda nervous about this,” Kristine said when she looked at Youtube through her flip phone.
“It is what it is,” Chris said. “I’m sure that your editor did fine. Let’s just finish school and watch it on your computer. Phones are still really bad at playing Youtube,” Chris said.
Kristine sighed and put away her phone.
During the hours Madeline and Chris were at school, the two videos that Madeline made were blowing up each having 100,000 views each. She also gained a couple thousand subscribers
“Look at her, she’s so hot!” A commenter said
“She plays Maplestory as well?! I picked it up a bit ago and wanted to move onto to WOW, but if she’s going to be playing Maplestory, then I guess I’ll stick with it,” A fan said.
“Take a look at the quality of the video. The editing and the camera she recorded with all look higher quality than a lot of the videos here on this site. I mean compared to those Smosh videos, this is much better!”
While some of the comments were perverted, most of the comments were supporting and mainly asked Madeline to make more videos. When Chris went to Madeline’s house with her, Madeline was ecstatic. She started dancing around in her room.
“Look Chris! I have 100,000 views on each of my videos. So many people watched it! And my subscriber count too! I have 5,000 subscriber!”
“Congratulations!” Chris exclaimed. While he knew that Madeline would be relatively successful as a Youtuber in the future, he couldn’t really remember how successful she was at the beginning stage of her Youtube career.
“This is so fun! I want to make more videos!” Madeline said ecstatic to make another video.
“Alright let’s set everything up then,” Chris said.
For about a month everyday after school, Chris tried to help Madeline as much as he could with her videos. Fortunately, every time she posted, she gained more subscribers. Due to her being beautiful and the fact that she had a very good editor, her videos garnered 150,000 views on average and she easily gained 100,000 subscribers zooming past the second most subscribed Youtuber that had only 50,000 subscribers.
“Wow we’re doing great!” Madeline said. “Although uploading every week day is kind of tiring. I’ll do it for the sake of building up my name for now and then I’ll start uploading less once I get big enough,”
“Yeah at the very least you’re able to rest during the weekend. I was kind of scared that your audience would be mad at you for not posting,” Chris said.
“No my audience is nice. At the very least, most of them seem to be better than those boys at school who all look like they’re trying to devour me or something,” Madeline said.
Madeline constantly uploaded at least 1 video a day with her editor working nonstop as well. Fortunately, due to the high pay and the work being only about 4 hours a day, the editor was able to constantly churn out high quality videos that received praise from her audience every time. When she hit 200,000 subscribers, it was announced that Youtube was bought by Google and that now there was going to be ads in videos allowing Youtubers to make money.
The online community went ballistic with more people becoming both creators and users of Youtube. Due to the sudden influx of people, Madeline’s subscriber count was boosted to 500,000 subscribers with each of her videos netting at least 300 thousand views per video.
‘The rise is too big… Even Smosh didn’t gain so much at this stage in Youtube,’ Chris thought amazed at the progress Madeline was making.
During this time, it wasn’t only Madeline that was gaining more popularity on Youtube. Maplestory, the game that Madeline consistently play every video also started to skyrocket in popularity with everyone playing it.
In the Nexon headquarters at Tokyo, the employees were extremely enthusiastic about their growth.
“Manager, we’re almost doubling in the amount of new players we’re getting every day for the past couple of weeks! Furthermore, the amount of people buying in-game items have skyrocketed as well in that same time frame!” An employee said to the man behind him.
“Is it that girl?” The manager asked.
“It seems like it. From what I can see on Youtube, Maddy, the most popular Youtuber, has been exclusively playing our game. Furthermore, ever since Google bought out Youtube, the amount of publicity Youtube has been getting has been massive so Maddy, the most popular person on that site, has been getting more and more attention every day. This all flows back to us where we get more players due to her!” The employee said excitedly.
“So then it looks like we will have a very good earnings report this week,” The manager said happily.
“Yes it looks like our revenue has easily doubled and we can expect our stock prices to rise greatly this time around,” The employee said.
“Looks like we have to thank that girl. Think of a reward for her that will only belong to her in the future. Remember she’s the one that will probably give you your bonus so think of something good,” The manager said.
“Yes sir,” The employee said excitedly as he racked his brain to think of a gift for Madeline.
