Can you not see the difference between drama/shots and poker hands with famous people in them? Of course more popular players get views. That's what most of these videos are. If you want to fixate on the few dramatic exceptions, that's cherrypicking really, zoom out to the top 20 or more for a better idea of what typically performs well.
I don't claim to make fun of DNegs and other people for altruistic reasons. I do it because it feels good speaking my mind. I used to work for a poker company where I sometimes worried about crossing lines and upsetting the wrong people. I'm okay having fewer friends or possibly making less money down the road if it means I don't worry too much about saying the wrong thing.
I appreciate the kind words about my technical skills. I'm sure there would be opportunities for me, but it's definitely true that if I had any aspiration to potentially work for Stars, PokerNews, PokerCentral, etc. that I would be screwed. I have burned those bridges, and Daniel probably has his fingers in several other such companies too.
