Lektion wird erstellt...
1
My friends, this is a video I honestly never thought I would have to make.
2
On Thursday, Bargaming kicked me from content creator program.
3
I didn't expect this to happen.
4
And I took a moment to let everything sink in before letting you know.
5
And today I want to share with you full story
6
because I think you deserve to know what happened as well
7
as what is the meaning of this for the future of the channel.
8
I am making this video only to inform you about a situation
9
and would like to ask you not to take it as a reason to harass or pressure anyone.
10
so about a month ago vargaming introduced multi-tier loot boxes with
11
their roam filter event i'm talking about loot boxes within the
12
loot boxes within the loot boxes where you have to through three different levels
13
if you wanted to receive all of the things This event put me in a tough dilemma.
14
On one hand, there were seven new things that, as a content creator, I wanted to cover.
15
Making videos about new things is always attractive content, both in terms of views and revenue.
16
But on the other hand,
17
the content was locked behind a gambling practice that was much more aggressive than everything we've seen before.
18
And I felt that no matter how I make a video about these things,
19
I'm going to promote a system that I strongly disagree with.
20
so before the start of the event lanikia
21
and i spent a lot of time thinking how we should
22
handle this situation at first we were considering making videos with
23
a disclaimer at the beginning saying something like we do not support these boxes
24
but how can i say at the start of the video
25
that I don't recommend buying them and then show you how fun the tanks are basically promoting it
26
therefore we've made a very difficult personal decision not to create
27
videos featuring these tanks for as long as the loot boxes were on sale.
28
And in our video about the event, I asked you to vote with your wallet because I hoped
29
that together we could show Wargaming that these loot boxes felt problematic both for the players and to us, content creators.
30
Specifically, I said this.
31
To everyone watching, my advice is very simple.
32
Do not buy these boxes.
33
If we collectively refuse to support this practice financially, Vargaming will have no choice but to listen.
34
And please, let me know your thoughts in the comments, especially how I should handle the new things going forward.
35
I want to ensure that we are on the same page, guys.
36
The clip that we just show is the reason Vargaming cited for kicking me from the program.
37
On Thursday, Vargaming invited us to a call where they informed us that I am being removed from CC program.
38
To us, this came completely out of the blue because there were no prior conversations,
39
warnings, or anything that would suggest an outcome like this during last month.
40
They followed up with a written message, which I'm allowed to share with you here.
41
I decided not to show the name of the person who sent it
42
because I want to respect Wargaming's community managers since they're just doing their job and I don't want them to be targeted.
43
If you want to read the full message, you can post the video here.
44
Wargaming says this decision is not about opinions I shared about the loot boxes.
45
and that they respect the right of creators to express themselves.
46
Instead, they say that my call to action, the one that you just heard, violated rule number eight of CC program,
47
which states, participation in or condoning of bullying or actions designed to incite,
48
offend or create unrest in our community is not permitted.
49
According to Wargaming, me asking you not to buy loot boxes caused harm to other content creators,
50
to the players, and their stuff.
51
Also, they gave a second reason.
52
The video was translated into Chinese by the community members.
53
For context, if you didn't know, we have Chinese community, and some of the members of
54
that community decided to voluntarily add Chinese subtitles to our videos and post them on Chinese YouTube platform called Bilibili
55
because there are quite a few people in China who want to watch my videos but don't speak English.
56
So this is what happened and the reason why I got kicked from CC program.
57
With this you can make up your own mind.
58
But here's what I think about it.
59
I stand by what I said in the video.
60
I didn't attack anyone, I never called out other creators, I didn't harass, bully or insult anyone.
61
I didn't ask or encourage anyone to do any of that.
62
I only shared my opinion about the event and encouraged people to make peaceful,
63
personal choice not to support a monetization system that I believe is bad both for the players and content creators.
64
I don't think that my message should be considered a violation.
65
If this is inciting unrest, I am worried about the CC program and the path Wargaming is taking.
66
As creators, we are being encouraged by Wargaming to share our opinion all the time and even voice criticism.
67
But this decision doesn't feel like support for free expression.
68
This isn't the kind of environment that encourages honest discussion or community trust.
69
Regarding the Bilibili post, we've had loyal Chinese-speaking community members supporting my work for years.
70
They've asked if I'm fine with them adding subtitles to my videos
71
so that others in the region can engage with my content.
72
And I don't see an issue with this.
73
They do this fully voluntarily without any obligations.
74
Personally, I'm not involved in translations because I don't speak Chinese,
75
but I have no reason to believe that they are not done in good faith.
76
I truly believe that the real unrest was caused by the monetization event that was new and controversial,
77
and not by my video.
78
It makes me sad that my video may have been perceived as the primal source for unrest
79
because that's just the last thing that i would want for the game
80
that i love now finally what does all of this mean for the future of this channel
81
losing cc status means
82
that i no longer have access to press account i will
83
not be able to to participate in CC CC-only events and get special drops on Twitch.
84
I won't be able to get early access to new tanks
85
that are coming into the game and hence won't be able to prepare videos on them on time.
86
All of this is very unfortunate and going to make things a lot harder for me.
87
Losing such content opportunities will also hurt financially.
88
But here's what doesn't change.
89
I will stay here.
90
I will have my voice, my passion for making videos, and most importantly, you.
91
An amazing community.
92
It was always my goal to be honest with you.
93
When I thought that Wargaming was doing something right, I said so.
94
When I felt they were unfairly attacked,
95
I defended them, even when some of you didn't agree with my decision and criticized me for it.
96
But now, I disagreed with Wargaming's approach to the recent loot boxes and shared my thoughts openly,
97
even though this time my perspective wasn't well received on their side.
98
But I'm going to stay true to myself.
99
Ultimately, guys, I don't make videos for gaming.
100
I make them for you.
101
You have supported me throughout all these years.
102
You are the reason I am still here and why I can live my dream.
103
And I will never forget that.
104
To everyone who has been with me, who has maybe shared a kind word here and there,
105
or maybe who was watching my content silently.
106
Thank you, guys. And finally, Tuver Gaming.
107
It was never my intention to hurt anyone or cause any negativity.
108
I love the game and I want it to thrive.
109
I'm always open for dialogue and I hope that there is a future where we can talk again.
110
I believe we all want the best for this game and its community.
111
And I hope that in time there will be a way for mutual understanding.
112
and future collaboration.
113
In the meantime, I will keep doing what I've always done,
114
making the best content I can for the best community I know.
115
My friends, thank you for being with me.
116
I truly appreciate it.
Warum das Sprechen mit diesem Video üben?
Das Üben des Sprechens mit diesem Video bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit, nicht nur Ihre Englisch sprechen üben Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, sondern auch Ihr kritisches Denken zu schärfen. Der Sprecher behandelt eine komplexe Situation und gibt Einblicke in die Herausforderungen, denen sich Content Creator gegenübersehen. Indem Sie seine Argumente und Emotionen nachahmen, können Sie Ihr shadow speech effektiv trainieren und gleichzeitig lernen, wie man komplexe Themen im Englischen diskutiert. Dies stärkt Ihre Redefähigkeiten und Ihr Selbstbewusstsein beim Sprechen.
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
In diesem Video verwendet der Sprecher mehrere wichtige Strukturen, die eine interessante Analyse wert sind:
- „Ich habe nicht erwartet, dass das passiert“ – Diese Struktur vermittelt Überraschung. Mit „I didn’t expect this to happen“ lernen Sie, wie man eigene Erwartungen klar formuliert.
- „Ich war in einem Dilemma“ – Hier wird das Wort „dilemma“ verwendet, um innere Konflikte zu beschreiben. Dies ist eine nützliche Ausdrucksweise, um komplexe Entscheidungen zu schildern.
- „Ich habe eine schwierige persönliche Entscheidung getroffen“ – Diese Formulierung zeigt Entscheidungsfindung und reflektierendes Denken. Sie können lernen, wie man solche Entscheidungen im Englischen präsentiert.
- „Zusammen können wir zeigen“ – Mit dieser Wendung wird der Gedanke des gemeinsamen Handelns betont, was in Diskussionen oft wichtig ist.
Diese Strukturen ermöglichen es Ihnen, flüssiger und präziser zu kommunizieren, während Sie gleichzeitig Themen von zeitgenössischer Bedeutung behandeln.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
Im Video gibt es einige Wörter und Ausdrücke, die für nicht-native Sprecher herausfordernd sein können:
- „Loot Boxes“ – Achten Sie auf die Betonung und den Klang. Besonders das „Loot“ kann für Deutschsprachige schwer auszusprechen sein.
- „Informed“ – Die Endung „-ed“ wird oft falsch betont. Denken Sie daran, dass im Englischen „in-formd“ ausgesprochen wird, nicht „in-for-med“.
- „Dilemma“ – Hier ist die Betonung auf der zweiten Silbe wichtig: „di-LEM-ma“. Dies kann in Gesprächen den Unterschied in der Verständlichkeit ausmachen.
Um Ihre Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können, ist es wichtig, sich diese Ausdrücke und Wörter genau anzuhören und sie mehrmals nachzusprechen. Versuchen Sie auch, im shadowspeaks Modus zu üben, um die intonatorischen Muster des Sprechers zu übernehmen.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
