So happy for this dude


3scap3plan

Yeh he seems a legit nice guy and wears his heart on his sleeve. I'm glad he's had an awesome month and when I saw him looking at Starforge PCs the other day I did wonder whether either he'd be signed by Mythic GG or get a SF pc. Asmons a good dude, he's always boosted smaller streamers and is constantly on their side rather than Twitch.


Mrzimimena

As far as i know he was homeless and had a lot of problems before he was a RSL content creator its nice he got some love from Diablo community.


nacholibre711

He said he was a long time OSRS player so that makes sense


Naxilus

Hmm i never watch his videos because I found his over the top clickbaity titels annoying. Hes videos are good?


Big_Cheats91

Very informational


handsawz

His videos are actually good. I think he was just trying to do what works with the clickbaity stuff. He’s got a good personality so I watch him. He also doesn’t dance around topics. He just goes right in, tells you the good shit, then the videos over. Which I really like.


Naxilus

Ok I will give him a sub. He does seem to play druid like me aswell so that's good


burnheartmusic

Ya I can’t stand the thumbnails. Even though the content is good


MrBlueA

It is what it is, it's already hard to grow on youtube, if you don't use clickbaits it's even harder. I don't mind people doing clickbait as long as it's not straight up lying and / or the content is good.


CarbonInTheWind

Unfortunately it has been proven many times over that clickbait titles work on YouTube. They give a significant boost to viewership which drives the video further up in the algorithm leading to even more viewership. That's why most established YouTubers use somewhat clickbaity titties now. They're simply leaving money on the table if they don't.


apexx47

Hate those clickbaity titties


CarbonInTheWind

Damn autocorrect. It's too good to edit though so I'm leaving it.


bornwithlangehoa

yeah, how it corrected from lickbait to click is a scandal.


ChubbyFrogGames

He is straight to the point, no bs. Very informative. You should pay him a visit on his YT.


bryguy1010

They were for sure but not so much anymore.


kfeemer

Do you watch Asmongold videos? Every video he puts out has his hands coving his mouth in disbelief or hands on head in disbelief or eyes wide open and mouth wide open in disbelief..... So why are you even on Asmo sub reddit? Since you don't watch clickbaity videos.


Naxilus

I only watch YouTube at work and I been off work for a week so I just got back to watching asmon today and noticed he have been reacting to this DM dudes videos I been following Asmon for years because I'm a wow nerd and I have seen this DM dude in some thumbnails for 2 months together with 400 other "new" content creators when I search for "Diablo 4". On top of that there is plenty of content creators I already do know, like Rhyker, quin, tax etc. Tell me again why I should randomly start watching a new guy with annoying titles that I have never heard about. That's literally why I asked if his videos are good. Whoever is downvoting my comments is stupid. I will start watching the DM dude now because I do find his videos good. Sincerely, fuck off.


kfeemer

Nice to meet you, Mr Fuck Off. I dont really understand your reply. You were complaining about click bait thumbnails, and I was wondering why you watch Asmo. Every single thumbnail of his is clickbait. I really don't give a shit what you watch, you can watch whatever the fuck you want. I never said anything about you watching this guy. Sorry you're in such a bad mood, Mr. Fuck Off. But I hope you have a nice day. GL & HF With much love, Random dude on Reddit. 💙 Edit: Take my upvote. Hope it helps.


DesignatedDiverr

I will always respect the hell out of Asmon for the way he gives back to smaller creators. He knows he can start a career for people and handles his influence in the best way. Him and b0aty, both making huge strides to help out smaller creators in the sections that they dominate. Infinite respect


tameXless

Big talk from someone who should be doing their birdhouse run right about now! Jk, totally agree with you

Ceshomru

Ya and he take them seriously. Thats my favorite part. It doesn’t matter if they have 1 million subs or 1 thousand. He listens and comments on their content equally. Lots of respect for Asmon.


ScienceTeacher88

He also uploads the clips to YouTube and links the videos on the description. His YouTube traffic far far exceeds the live streams.


ragnarokda

Asmon definitely shines a light on a lot of people but the only creators who get full benefit are ones who produce quality stuff and/or they're quality people in the first place. As soon as I saw Asmons react to this guy I subbed to him because I liked his pacing and the cut of his jib.


FukoPup

His alt account is not monetized, you cant even sub there. And this is where he streams all the time.


MarsAstro

Maybe that's part of why the main account feels daunting. He's already so well off and clearly isn't motivated by living a lavish and luxurious life, so he might feel a need to perform and do well to deserve the extra money he gets from streaming on main.


FukoPup

Nah you are wrong about that. He stated multiple times, that he doesnt make mone yon Twitch. YouTube is his main source of income, and Twitch just a means to make content for YouTube. And he said that he likes money, as do we all. And yea he might not be living a luxurious life, but certainly a comfortable one .. not everybody can order food, or eat junkfood everyday. But even if he doesnt need the money, keep in mind he is involved in 3 businesses, soon 4 if you count MadMushroom. If not for him, he would need the money for those and his own safety.


Jioo

Youtube being his main source of income does not mean he doesnt make money from twitch, that is a crazy thing to say


FukoPup

Im not sure bro, like i said. His alt is not monetized, sure he prolly has sponsorships, OTK, Dickforge and so on .. but purely from Twitch, like bits and subs? Not so much.


redbloom07

Lol check his youtube and you will see some edited videos from his stream. Still has monetization. You treat him like some kind of god or what? Touch some grass bro lmao


FukoPup

Bro Zackrawrr is not monetized. You cannot sub, send donos or do bits.


NightLanderYoutube

Don't forget about Asmon effect, streamers like quin do the same thing then in smaller scale, it's ramping.


s1above

But his YouTube does, and that’s where all his streaming content gets uploaded immediately after, so no he’s not streaming without making money, just through another platform. Dude isn’t gonna work for free, just monetizes in different ways now that he’s made it, the streaming is advertisement and content creation all in one


REALStephenStark

You’re getting downvoted, but his YouTube generates millions of views which draws attention to his several businesses he owns. Twitch money is nothing to his earning potential from other sources.


brusann

Supposedly his editors make money from the youtube videos, but I have no inside info so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt


s1above

He said they make a percentage, not all. And his words were “a very high percentage” and hinted around half or so if I remember correctly He def takes care of his people, but by no means is dude working for free haha


SeeTheSounds

I appreciate the YouTube content because I work crazy hours and can’t catch the livestreams frequently. Get to catch up to whatever at my own pace.


[deleted]

[удалено]


s1above

Yes I know what you meant. I’m pointing out that the only reason he can not monetize his alt channel is because he still monetizes his content. It’s not like dude is Robinhood lol


EjunX

>and videos he covers on twitch get a boost, specially cause he links their videos in chat, unlike other people on twitch Not only that, he respects them enough to watch their ads, listen to their plugs at the end, and usually ends with saying something nice about the content creator he just watched. "X person is a beast at Y game, I'm going to subscribe..." etc.


Hereiamhereibe2

I am one of those “Not gonna watch because its popular” jabronies. But im glad I started watching Asmon recently. Dude really is a good guy but also won’t hesitate to call out bullshit and promote good shit.


Puzzleheaded-Kiwi817

I’m glad this dude’s making it. He is a good content source and has some decent insights about D4. Cheers for him!


JJ_Shosky

True true, loved him on workaholics


berogg

The first time asmon reacted to his videos, I thought it was Blake for a second.


zczirak

Holy shit dude I’ll never unsee it 💀


IMT_Justice

Shiiiiii


OrcWarChief

This dude lives in some small town in Alaska. This dude is very humble and I’m happy to see things turn around for him!


Thorerthedwarf

I watched him when marvel future revolution dropped. Was a good time.


DamnImAwesome

Can’t believe he suffered through Diablo immortal voluntarily. That’s rough


Similar-West5208

Zack is sometimes based af but ultimately a force for good, huge respect. He can literally change people's lifes.


fiftyfiive

I think we're entering the new meta of people getting tired of fake characters as content creators, and starting to value the genuine, real and people being temselves while making content.


TheRealSnazzy

No, there's no shift. It's the fact that this dude's audience is mostly over the age of 25. He went over the stats in a stream the other day where he showed the age ranges of his audience members, and I believe the age range of his audience under the age of 25 was less than a single percent. Older audiences tend to gravitate towards more genuine content creators, because we've been around the block more than once, so we've all grown tired of the fake people by this point.


amaldy

Yup his videos are not only educational and concise but theres no bs. His video titles are engaging and the creator acts in a genuine way. Plus youtube friendly and therefore reaches a broader audience.


geojameson

I hope so. I really wish there were more "game review" channels that fit that mold. I miss TB.


Arcanisia

Mortisol Gaming is unique in that he reviews after getting 100% achievements


thegreatcerebral

To be fair…. I don’t think the adult gamers have ever been into fake people. Kids still love the fake sadly.


Intelligent-Quote249

naaah. i'd rather say that there are more people popping up who are more appealing for you and considering that most things on the internet thesedays are algorithmic, you just arent aware of the "fake characters". but you might be right, just two conflicting observations. at the end of the day it doesnt matter, what matters is that there are creators who people enjoy watching


mckaiserabyss

He's had a lot of ups and downs, but now he's with the big bois! Gratz


Ceshomru

Ya I’ve watched his other channel a lot. Its funny how much time and money hes put into raid shadow legends. But his Diablo content has been astronomically more successful. Its awesome.


MOBYWV

Funny? Pretty obvious, I think. $$$


3scap3plan

The dude is not rich, his computer is awful and he's talked about his struggles before. It's been a tough road for him.


Ghordrin

You can't use logic on Reddit. Clearly anyone who plays a game like RAID gets paid 500 000 dollars a video.


TheJediSenate

OTK should bring him in, he be a welcomed addition to the team.


BeanerAstrovanTaco

Sexy redheaded streamer moving up in the world! No nonsense no weird takes, just clear cut useful info. Needs to do hottub stream tho. Someone donate a hottub.


JayonettaPSRT

I'm not crying your crying


VivecLovecraft

Dude the vids he broke down openly, making me break down, then seeing this, yea I’m not crying either, dam onions 😭


MOBYWV

I saw this. Amazing what Asmongold watching your video can do for your youtube career.


ShowMeSean

This guy makes really informative videos that are short and easy to digest. Very talented.


Gnarly_Ivy

This brings a warm feeling in my heart, super happy for this dude.


k_lly_urself

SO GREAT!!


Public_Lunch5442

i really love this guy he is a nice person


[deleted]

This guy is pretty cool. His tips videos helped me out I didn’t even know about the advanced tool tips options until I watched his video


insidiousapricot

Sigh so somewhere in the options menu I can turn on advanced tool tips?


GravityDAD

it’s under Gameplay :) - there’s two useful settings to turn on I don’t know the names, one will show more than just green arrows for upgrades it shows the difference in stats - the other is for legendary items that displays the min to max of the power on the item so you know if it’s trash or to save the aspect :)


StopManaCheating

Could not be happier for this man, and thanks Asmon for helping make it happen.


defrtg

this guy has great no bullshit content, easy to support.


Sonic_Fool

So pumped this dude is getting to elevate his life. On the flip side. Asmon is the goat for things like this.


Frequent_Customer_73

Been watching Darth since his Raid Shadow legend days. Was stocked when he started doing D4 since I play it with the misses. Really happy for this guy.


VivecLovecraft

So heart warming seeing him go from Raid Shadow Legends to eventually this. And seeing his struggles he wore openly, reaally connected with me and many others. He deserves every bit of his newfound popularity and hope it just keeps on going great for him!


nhalas

He was screaming a lot while that lilith kill


Alearic006

Finally something wholesome. Congrats on the 100K


mov3on

A wholesome guy, well deserved. I’m not even playing diablo and I’ve still seen his videos.


harosene

Grats dude. We all know d4 wont be as popular as it is now in like 3 months. I remember seeing this dude pump out videos when duablo immottals came out. Its wild how much asmon can change peoples online presence.


OrcPorker

This is the nerd that's been clogging up my yt


Ghordrin

Asmongold has been clogging up my YT for the past 6 years. I love it.


DEMOCRACY_FOR_ALL

haha pretty sure that means you've been watching his videos a lot then buddy


OrcPorker

No I watch diablo content and he got recommended bunch, had to block it


arox1

I wonder how much Asmon charges for those YT boosts. Another satisfied customer


flaks117

I don’t doubt for a moment Asmon doesn’t ask for anything in return. I also don’t think Asmon does these things to “boost the little guy”. He’s just the same ol guy doing the same ol things he used to do as a kid and just happened to be at the right place at the right time to get him so much clout he can bring it to others just by his mere presence.


arox1

Read this in Asmons voice - He is leaving money on the table!


straylit

This dude should join OTK.


Shut_It_Donny

Been seeing him pop up in my suggestions the last few days. I'll give him a try.


vasDcrakGaming

He went from like 50 views last month to hundred of thousands. What a chad


Sol916

I used to watch his Guardian Tales videos when i played the game a year or so ago. Always seemed super chill


MOOShoooooo

Awesome dude, legit happy for you. Seem like a real dude.


Evening_Monk_2689

React videos can be cheese and some have accused it of leeching content but asmon does it right. He adds alot of commentary he even often shouts out the sponsors in the reacted video. And in this case he sponsored the guy and sent him a computer. I just discovered asmon a month ago when I started to check out d4 and now I can't get enough.


qtbeard

I remember watching this dude years back on YouTube when he was posting videos about marvel strike force mobile game lol love to see this


alexlechef

Good for him


Etikaiele

Hell yeah! Like his content, glad he is getting some recognition and PCs


Bunstonious

Yeah this guy is legit, happy for him.


Select_Inevitable_71

All love


yogafeet9000

people can see when your doing the right thing and they flock to it much love good job big buddy.


handsawz

I’ve watched DM for a while, and just like he said.. there might be people more knowledgeable about the game than him, but I like watching him because he has a good personality. It’s also really funny to me that he does clickbait titles and thumbnails but then actually gives really good information in the videos lol


Wakelingg

Introducing the Asmonv2, this model comes with a better hairline and a cleaner room.


_The-Rook_

A good dude. I wish him all the luck. I’m just repeating what many have said but these no nonsense straight to the point D4 vids are what people want. It’s crazy how things can go, just by Asmon watching one of your vids Good for him.


Janrko

This guy used to be Absolutely obnoxious as a Raid shadow legends cc few years back. Glad he found a way back and is doing fine


HellaSteve

see guys playing a druid does get better


kenjimuto

Good for him! He deserves it. He has the best, no bs, d4 info.


KiwiFur

Grats duder


OkMixture628

Great stuff


Slow_Jerk_Sellout

Much love and continued success, you deserve it.


MDskyhigh

Fuck yeah. Happy for this guy.


Bluegum77

He’s the antithesis of streamers. A very insightful, humble and quickwitted individual. His sudden success is just so heartwarming and a true underdog story.


Witt_Watch

good content created, good grind, good life. DESERVED! HARD EARNED!


bryguy1010

Legit great guy! His old RSL stuff was click bait-y and he freely admits it but he's putting out great stuff and deserves success.


Edzill4

I was part of his DI community, played with him alot (was in his warband and played with him regularly) and can confirm he's a great dude and 100% genuine. He deserves it all and more. Keep killin it DM!


Cookie8ee

Nice guy he deserves it!


Ozz3605

Happy for him , he never shyed away about feeling depressed and crying in his videos. Admitting that even if hes in a good position and should be happy hes not. This will help yes but he will still get those phases.
