We're coming in on two years since Slime has left Mogul Moves and became a content creator and since then: he has made 18 videos averaging a total of 100K-300K views on average across all those videos and has streamed a total of 231 days with a viewership of an average of 1.5K-3K viewers for 5-9 hours each stream. Nowhere near what Maximilian Dood has done in the two years since this.

The ads are not for consumers theyre for the distributers, they don't need us to see their ads as long as they convince the companies that will buy and sell the products from the manufacturer.

Nick is right, so much money is spent placating CEOs. I work at a ~500 person company and its insane how much money we lose just because it makes a random higher up happy. We have an entire line of shitty lights that don't sell because a higher ups wife wanted it and he didn't want to pay full retail (we get an employee discount)

Yo Mama

Not really smile doesn't do political content

J

Knowing that CourageJD is a fan of the podcast makes this episode so much fucking funnier man

Alex Nelson

i know ur not lying bc who tf knows the term working in “fasteners” except someone who knows someone working there lol

Cross Johansen

I had to hear more about screws and bolts on this podcast from aiden then i do from my dad who literally works in fasteners

Markus Tønder

Sdothannon

I almost stopped watching Ludwig at one point because of the clickbait, I think you guys are making very valid points lol

Andre Male

I've been smoking that Historia Civilis shit for years now. Glad to see him getting some respect :)

lowpolymoose

Without Ludwig needing to clock right at the hour it’s hype that we get a bit of extra content

Eli

Apples 3 min ads that you’ve never seen in Tv are probably just ones that they thought weren’t good enough. Just like Mr Beast videos sometimes they finish the video and say “well that’s kinda shit”. But with ads you have 0 reason not to still post it because if anyone sees it it’s still just an ad lol they aren’t gonna say “apple felled off” like they would after a shitty mr breast video. Like they already paid for the ad, they just haven’t paid for the 30s Tv slot that they cut it down into yet because they don’t think it’s good enough. It’s probably them just trying to get their moneys worth lol why would they just can the 3 min ad lol maybe it just didn’t work as a 30s ad so they couldn’t cut it down

richardthegreiner

Can’t wait for Ludwig to have his Griffith Arc because slime left

Joe Molloy

I think there’s a disconnect you have to realise for what your willing to spend money on and what a CEO of a major company is willing to spend money on and how that falls down, a board of directors probably have an idea of how they want their company to appear and how they want it to look, but they don’t know how to do that and they’re not going to do that themselves so they use their resources to hire a marketing department to make those decisions with some input for them, but then that marketing department gets a budget and if they don’t use it they’ll lose some budget next year, and the rich execs won’t care cause they’re still making money, it’s a lot of money but the people who make the decision to give someone a lot of money to make a piece of art that shows their company in the way they want will just be happy, I don’t think it’s directly tied to boomers/non-boomers just tied to work culture, which is also why I think you see a lot less high budget ads and a completely different marketing strategy used in like Japan/China/Korea, because the work culture is so different to the western work culture. I think it is being realised that you can just post a stupid TikTok for your company with a bouncing cat that will get your brand awareness out there

Keegan McDermott

This episode was phenomenal

Adam garrison

Atrioc has a video about these ads you guys talked about an hour in. I'd ask him about it he knows a lot

Anura

Felt like I listened to an advice show ep

Adam B.

Netflix does have an ad tier btw

Isaac Sterling

I really dislike the idea that getting more views is more important than informing the consumer. I really don’t care how good the content actually is; it still strikes me as weird and manipulative.

Nazario Lopez Montes

I think once Slime really alligns what his goals are for the future he has a sure shot to being a successful content creator. Right now it seems like there's a lot of muddiness in what direction he wants to go in but that'll obviously take time with whatever work he's doing as of now for Ludwig. Either way you're that guy Slime we'll eat up those highlights compilations because we're starving rn.

Robby Messenger

I don’t know about you guys but I love when they take a step back and just talk about some real shit.

Isaac Miles

Do it slime but don’t leave the yard mogul moves is fair game tho

EveryOtherMonth

nah Slime is cringe and deserves to be in jail.

Ethan Flynn

Reminds me of my friends bosses companies. Rusty Pipes and Erect Scaffholding.

Curtis Leavitt

Omg slime if you start streaming 🥹 truckercast the sequel!!! Please, it's one of my favorite streams of all time.

Austin K

Someone in my hometown started a screw company and got super rich with their slogan being "Wanna screw?"

Tyler Thomas

Im not sure we give enough credit to TV and some of the older media that they have a pretty good idea of what they’re doing. At the end of the day I think Netflix is one of the only profitable streaming services without ads and everyone else is working on making an ad tier. Im not sure where they put all their ads and nicer videos but these companies are vastly more profitable than streaming is currently

nicksmizzle

share holders, they make ads for the share holders

VigorousPringle

Slime content creator arc would be fucking fire

nolain

"You could leave: two sticks, a swisher, and a fo' And a Screw tape on the counter And ain't nobody taking none of those drugs.. The fo' will still be ther', the sticks will be ther' Know wha' I'm sayin'? The swisher be ther' But where's the motherfuckin' Screw? Everybody want Screw" -E.S.G.

Ryan Miller

And slime blocked me on Twitter🥲

Max Jenkins

The slime content creator arc is going to be crazy, his valorant stream edits on YouTube are so fucking funny

Kota

Lobotomy patient take

Farzam

God rest his soul

Seth

Slime would basically become a funnier and more handsome Hasan

Sleeepy

Slime is just like Oscar from Shark Tale, he just wants to be somebody. And they’re both voiced by Will Smith.

Jeff Blaze0s

It’s the Wolf of Wall Street, ‘sell me this pen’ scene, but it’s Aiden with a screwdriver and no screw.

Kelly

In response to the previous premium ep: I’m getting my doctorate in psychology, I’d be happy to tell the boys their diagnoses. And no Lud does not have ADHD. Slime may have autism though.

Ethan

Slime the one individual that could overtake summit

Justus

Would fully support Slime content

CJ Bingman

Slime content would be so hype

KamFord

I would love if Slime channeled his energy into doing "Yard Specials." Also with Bros vs Pros in a bad spot (Rip BigA) These 4 doing stuff would fill that content gap. Maybe like a yard gaming channel or just a second channel.

Bizktsupper

Just watched the new mogul mail. My people would have taken one of that guy’s hands. One-handed guy goes in death penalty tier. Hire me if you need a shooter.

Quinn Dartt

Apple has created the greatest margins of any company of all time through their ability to advertise luxury while also appealing to the masses, that is why they are the most valuable company on the planet. I don't know about these ads that are never being played, but I don't believe it is because their C suit is old.

Bairdsen

Mogul Screws

Ale

Big up for aiming to be like Maximilian. Dude's the actual greatest

Cross Road

this weeks ep is going to be way better as a vid I think

Sam Turner

I’d actually love slime content creator, every few months I go and watch his “Are Melee Commentators Actually Good at the Game?” Video every few months, because it’s a work of art.

butler18

I was also thinking the other day how I wish he would stream more. Even like one day a week and obviously he has fans that would enjoy that. I like his Valo streams but would watch other games too

J

Can Nick please share that director’s ads I rly wanna watch em. Also Slime as an influencer is just gonna hate all his fans lol

Graham Mcgrath

Wow, funny that this was the topic this week. I was recently thinking about how slime would do as a content creator. Slime has a lot of the traits of a successful content creator, but also has traits that would prevent massive growth. But many of those latter traits are part of what makes him really funny. I’d personally love to see slime also making content with folks outside of the yard/melee communities. Ludwig’s largest growth spike coincided with Pogchamps, and I think similarly slime collaborating with new folks would help his growth. I’m just not sure if that’s what slime would want out of being as content creator. Either way, good luck, dawg

Carlos Vallejo

What if moist signs slime as a content creator

Nic

yeah i feel like youve interpreted that weird my mans. zach explained succinctly

Sam F

Nothing is stopping you from making content right then and now, why does it have to be quit then make content, judt start by making content and everything will fall in place

EveryOtherMonth

Slime's entire scarface arch this episode is he want more money so he can have more power. Now show me the part where anyone says they are grateful.

Casey Reed

Michael Scott paper company vibes

Marc W

Slime you can literally upload stream highlights with minimal effort and still grow the YT channel. The slime valorant highlights are amazing

Michael H

I think i know the commercials nick is talking about sometimes apple makes straight up music videos that they never air. There’s this one for the HomePod that its just a high production video choreographed to Anderson Paak’s “til its over” that my friend who danced showed me one time

Ryan Miller

Bro I was sitting here thinking how I’d listen to a slime only podcast then he started talking about making content and I am hyped

Alex Lee

Big A woulda been perfect for this ep. God rest his soul.

Zachary Patrick

When were they complaining about the amount of money they make? Sounded pretty clear that they are grateful for the position, but simultaneously have goals that require more money than they have
