Release the Kraken

Now it's time for a blogpost I won't actually take down two days later.

If you're reading this, chances are you came from the video, but I'll recap anyways.

A little discussion popped up about the possibility of all of the Little Dragons and others having a place to go to discuss YTP outside of my channel. I didn't think much of it, but with the help of DoomZappo, the project started.

http://thelittledragons.webs.com/

The site isn't necessarily as advanced, and it will change over time. But in order to update it to its best, we need people to use it. We need people to point out things that could use changing, and we need people to bring the site to life.

This is not a copy of YouChew, nor do I intend it to replace YouChew, or be even a quarter as big as it. I just feel as if YC has its flaws, and more importantly, us dragons should have our own little place to discuss YTP, that's more advanced than just comments on my channel.

If you're interested, then go for it and sign up, if you're not, that's perfectly fine by me.

What is a spinge?

Odd titles=relatively odd post I guess, maybe to some of you it will seem weird.

Spingeboob, sprengbab, spengebill, you know what all of these names mean, and so do thousands of others in the YTP community. There all clever names that spongebob YTP fanboys think will protect them from Viacom. Even SantaWithGuns says it doesn't do a thing to hide you from the V people. But that's beside the point.

Take a look at people like Chewyribit, and possibly even spongewithguns. People who have less skill than artists like DoomZappo or FlummyWister by a long shot. But, SpongeWithGuns has 500 subscribers, FlummyWister has yet to reach one hundred; Chewyribit has over 800 and DoomZappo hasn't even reached 500.

And also, supersaiyan and americanmangaka. They're about the same level of skill, but americanmangaka started before his cousin, and now his cousin has more subscribers than him.

I could go on for a while naming examples, but I don't have the time. The point is, I will never, EVER use spongebob as a source. It is not a fair source. Idiots who don't know how to make YTP are able to get up to two hundred subs, and millions of views handily. Heck, Hurricoaster reached 3000 without any effort at all, he's better now but still. And other people have to struggle, put their best effort into their work, and don't even get noticed. I'm talking about DoomZappo, FlummyWister, possibly even me for that matter. Yes, I'm overrated, but I feel underrated at the same time. Stupid people like RyuHattori get a million views without even editing their content, while I haven't even got a video with 400 views. Not to mention that 9 people are the only ones who watch my videos, I have no clue where the other 291 come from. So either they clicked on me by accident, or they need to speak up a bit.

That is all. I bid you farewell, thank you for reading and I hope you understand a tiny bit of the frustration that I've been having over this.

Opinions, opinions, opinions

Okay, I know after I post this, there are going to be a whole bunch of people angry with me. Particularly the HYTPHA members will get angered a bit. However, I'm not going to sit back and watch you guys continue what you are doing.

Let me get down to the story first. I joined the HYTPHA back in the summer of 2010 before it was created, by telling YER0CKY about SuperMamaLuigi9000, who he had already seen before but had not yet added to his list of "Worst" YTP Artists. Interested by the collab, I started searching for some videos and artists to submit for the HYTPHA (which was still not created at the time). I always felt a feeling of regret after I left a rude comment or insulted a style of YTP, even if it were not directly to the face of the artist. I always shook it off, because... hey, everyone else is doing it. After the TTP 500 subscriber incident, that side of me actually surfaced, YER0CKY was planning to use a video that I found funny for the collab. I was angry, and even told TrueTubePoops that I had always had a disapproval of the HYTPHA's actions deep down inside me, particularly YER0CKY's actions.

After that all blew over, I was back to my own blind puppet self. Mostly because, the videos YER0CKY was choosing now were ones that I did not like either. The feelings still burning inside of me that I was not doing the right thing. Now insert long month where nothing happens. Then my DID takes over. Let me explain something about my DID; everything it does, has some sort of deeper meaning that I end up realizing later on in my life. Well, it decided to take over MrWalrusGuy2 and make an account dedicated to protecting those who were bullied (notice lack of quotes) by the HYTPHA. Yea, it was a joke to start out with, but it quickly turned into something else when YER0CKY took it so seriously. It was the pushing factor to unleash all that was building up inside of me.

Why did I waste time writing all of that? More importantly, what am I going to do about it?

Well, I'm not going to take any direct action against anyone in the HYTPHA. Most of them are my associates, and great YTP artists. However, I will protest the YTP collabs in multiple ways. Reason with members of the HYTPHA to get them to stop. Possibly get some back-up from total supporters of "don't be a d***" on YouChew. But in the end, some members of the HYTPHA will get angry at me, and I'll probably have to resort to a few cheap tricks that I've been planning.

Last thought: YTP is like music, there is no "good" and bad".

Congratulations HotelWeegee!

HotelWeegee, one of my Drakon buddies has finally reached the high number of 1000 subscribers, and I got to say, he more than deserves it.

Now when I made my first account (masterhippomr) I was a spa-dinner fanboy. Not entirely sure how it ended up occurring, but I subscribed to HotelWeegee before he hit 500 subs. Most likely it was either because of his meme YTPs he previously made, or because he associated with Spongewithguns and Hurricoaster. Anyhow, I began talking to HotelWeegee a bit. What really made me a fan of his work was his 500 subscriber special, which even a spa-dinner fanboy like me could appreciate at the time. (This was probably a very good change for me, because at the time I did not like any ear rape or effects)

When the idea first came up of me creating a YTP on MasterHippoMr, HotelWeegee gave me his advice and wished me luck. However, I failed to get Sony Vegas and I was still blind to the fact that WMM was sitting right on the computer in my basement. After I closed my account (due to my close call with anonymous) I declared HotelWeegee one of the seven Lil Dragons and as a Lil Dragon he was given the honor to know that I was MasterHippoMr returned from the dead. (I was still playing it safe at the time) Later on, I became HotelWeegee's biggest fan by being the first to subscribe to his alternate account. And now, HotelWeegee is at 1000 subs, the big 1K, so I decided to interview him.

"I am going to interrogate you "until you shout: 'hey world, I'm for breakfast!'" Or just give you ten easily answered questions. My blog will be posted when you reach 1000 subscribers (which should be any day now) so answer them as if you've already hit that number.

1. One thousand subscribers is a big number for a YTP artist, can you say that when you started out that you thought you were going to reach this number?



No way, I started making poops for fun and I didn't think I would get many subscribers. I was surprised when I even got 10 subscribers!


2. So, do you plan on making a 1000 subscriber special? If so, would you be so kind as to reveal the source you will use?


Of course, I might use Spongebob as the the source like I did for 500, but I may change it since 1K is such a special occasion.


3. Your "Freddie Benson's gay games land him in double detention" has definitely made an impact on other people's styles and your own too. Do you think that you'll be able to duplicate or double your successes like this later on?

Freddie's Gay Games has to be one of my best poops I've ever made, and I don't know if I can make a poop like that again that will make everyone go nuts a second time, But its possible.


4. Honestly tell me, who is your favorite YTP artist?

My favorite pooper has to be Shroomhead1, his stuff is amazing. He is my biggest influence.


5. What is your favorite YTP of all time, or at least the YTP that influenced your style the most?

It has to be "Spencer and Chuck Harass Homosexuals" one of my favorite poops. It has inspired most of my Icarly poops too.


6. 1K is a huge milestone, but I'm thinking that you still want to get further. Could you possibly name a goal that you want to reach before the time that you stop making YTP?

I plan to keep making poops for as long as possible, but along the way I might get bored with making them and stop. But I would probably get bored at 5K, assuming I get that far. Or if I get suspended for whatever reason, that will end it too.


7. What general advice can you give to all YTP artists that want to be as great as you someday?


Have fun when you make poops, because if you're not having fun, then there is no point in making them. make poops for yourself and try not to care what others think.


8. Who is one person that you have to thank the most for helping you reach your fame in YTP?


I have to thank MyNameIsVargas. He taught me how to use Sony Vegas and Imovie, (the program I used before Vegas). And he inspired me to make poops and was one of my biggest influences from the beginning.


9. Why did you start YTP or better yet how? Like what was the first YTP you saw, and what made you want to make YTP?

I started YTP after seeing my first in early 2009 I cant remember the first one I saw, but after I kept seeing numerous poops and after enjoying them so much, I had to make them myself.


10. Give me one word that you think can define your entire journey to 1K subscribers


Awesome


Joe's Bonus Irrelevant Question (extra points for answering): What is one thing that you think JoeTheBlueDragon needs to improve on in order to be a great YTP artist?


JOE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE DOING GREAT. (Translation: You cannot improve, just quit now Joe you have no hope as a YTP artist)"

A Chance Out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai25963a99g

^In case you somehow missed that video. It was featured in YTPNews and has quickly become a YTP source itself.

The guy is making valid statements and suggestions about how we could turn YTP into a truly remarkable and recognized art form. Ever since I first found YTP I dreamed of that too. Like Stu, I always dreamed of a TV show where they would feature the best YTPs. That kind of inspired some of my work. YTP of the week, the YTP artist archvies, and the YTP academy was based on the thought of it too.

I'm planning to make this happen. And I hope you guys got my back on this one, I appreciate you having my back in other situations but of all times I really need you, now is that time.

YTPNews gave a very true statement, all of us could write a book about YTP defining what it is. But hardly anyone would agree with that. Walrusguy would be anti-effects, CommanderGwonam or other high effects artists might dismiss the sentence mixing and visual arts as lesser value.

Ever since I've signed on Youtube with this account back in september, I gotta say, I've been gathering up a lot of great artists who collaborate with other artists on my channel. I once talked about the YTP Theory, I'm sure most of you have heard. It was going to be a long explanation of in broad terms, what YTP was.

I've put it aside, but I think I need to revive it now. Stu said that there would never be an official Gospel for the YTP. Professor Bailey used the Bible as a comparitive sign of how art is.

Well, let's focus in on that. There are four books of the Gospel in case you didn't know, they contradict eachother in so many ways. (Hence the reason many people criticize Christianity)

What I'm suggesting, is that we all work together. To create: "YTP Theory: Book of Drakon" submit it to this guy, and show the world that YTP can become a big thing!

It's not just me right?

Recently, I planned on taking a trip to The Walrusguy Memorial channel to get a little inspiration for some upcoming YTPs. My opinion on walrusguy is really strange, I like his videos but I hate him and all of his fans. I was reminded why that is today: http://www.youtube.com/user/walrusguymemorial

Take a look at all the comments. It's a bunch of people whining and complaining about YTP being dead for these reasons: Walrusguy quit, Krobo is suspended permanantly, and Deepercutt doesn't post videos as often. TELL ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THEY ARE ALL IDIOTS!

Let me get this straight with all of you. All three of them were good artists, Walrus, Deeper, and Krobo. But YTP isn't just gonna suddenly die because three of the five most overrated artists are gone (CaptainOhYeah and I are the other two). I mean, surely there's no one called cs188 who posts the best YTPs almost once a week and he's better than walrusguy right? No, there is someone called cs188 he does make the best YTPs of all time but these idiots just can't realize that. They probably don't even know who DinnerWarrior, Imaperson, CommanderGwonam, and Captpan6 are!

The moral of the story is that YTP is not dead and all walrusguy fanboys are really freaking annoying.

Edit: Addition to moral of the story: I'm also an angry person who takes things too seriously.

Retirement

A lot of things have been making me think about my YTP retirement recently. YER0CKY retiring, CaptainOhYeah possibly being gone forever, Krobo being knocked out for good, and a lot of other things. I enjoy YTP, and I plan to for a really long time. But of course I will have to retire some day like all other artists. And I just want to let my true fans know when that should be.

I just started high school this year. So far, I have a bit more time on my hands than I need. This will probably change before this year ands and I'll have less and less time each year. When I graduate from high school, most likely, I'll work on my retirement YTP the entire summer until it is finished and as amazing as I can make it. Maybe every now and again I'll sign in to see whoever is left and how their progress is coming. But not often, once college starts I plan to leave YTP behind.

But no worries, I got four years to become overrated. YTP's about only 4 years old at the moment isn't it? So if you've been a good enough fan to read this through you're lucky because now you get a little treat and I'll tell you something.

Before I retire, my goal is to reach 10,000 subscribers. I've been making YTP for a month. If I hadn't removed subscribers, I'd have well over 100 now. And at some point in time I do plan to stop removing subscribers. So let's calculate. 150 times 12 is 1800. So I should have about 2000 by my first year of making YTPs, jeez, that's overrated. 2000 times 4 is 8000. So hopefully, I'm underestimating and I'll have about 9000 by the time I graduate high school. And then maybe my retirement YTP can be my 10,000 sub special, it is fitting.

Anyways, here's the treat. The list of subscriber special ideas I have.

100subs- I use famous YTP artists in my epic card game with DaThings1
500subs- I attempt to recreate my first YTP so that its actually good, all Dragons will get shout-outs
1000subs- I give a shout-out to my #1 inspiration YER0CKY before I battle the king of evil
5000subs- Not entirely sure. Probably part 1 of my 10,000 sub special
OVER 9000subs- Preview of my 10,000 sub special part 2
10,000subs- I thank everyone for helping me reach my dream number and retire in peace, and I reveal who the real Joe is (my face)

So hopefully I can achieve these goals with your help. Thank you for reading this. It means a lot to me that you did.
