What’s in a game? It depends, undoubtedly, heavily on which game we’re talking about. While some currently-popular games like Overwatch and Fortnite run primarily on killing opponents, there have been games like long withstanding Tetris (initial release: 1984) which do not require the shedding of virtual blood but demand skill in spatial arrangement and quick responses. Meanwhile, there are ones like Minecraft which are a mix of a score of features, and which have been faring well enough for 8 years, and are still bagging the first position in the category of top video games of all times (GAMEDESIGNING) and of 2019 (Wealthy Gorilla). Let us, today, explore why it’d be a beneficial idea for a deft player of Minecraft to create videos on YouTube.

1. You’re doing what you love

We all love doing what we love (duh), and we love even more to be allowed absolute freedom to do so. (I know; experience, little one.) There’s a quote that goes thus, “Do what you love, love what you do”, when choosing a career path. Steve Jobs advised us all to choose our jobs according to our interests, since we, being the intelligent beings we are, will drop off the long-term jobs that don’t appeal mid-way. Why torture yourself, really?

2. Your work gets more appreciation

While your family may think you’re chucking your time down a useless black hole, debuting on the internet will allow you to network with like-minded souls and boost your morale, in the least. And even if your viewers are no aces at Minecraft (or even at the M of it, e.g. me) we’ll sure enjoy watching you build your houses and lay mob traps and slay those dragons. We’re game, we’re a good sport.

3. You build

If you’ve committed a channel to Minecrafting, you’ll play more often. And what was that — practice makes perfect?

4. You can reach out to famous Minecrafters

Who doesn’t fantasize meeting their idol — given that you watch Minecrafters on YouTube too? Plus — since you’re both gamers — you can have a match, get more popularity, inspire humankind — anything that the sun’s rays touch is our kingdom (of possibility). Don’t let any doors be untried.

5. Wanna Money Money

They’ll tell you it’s not in the money or in the materials, but we all must face the harsh reality of life — we gotta go out there, hunt to eat, build fences for security. “Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy (insert enjoyable material, for instance, food) which is kind of the same thing.” I’ll bet you my Rubik’s cube you’ve heard this statement at some point. I’m not quite sure about the rubrics of YouTube payments, but all these YouTubers (e.g. IISuperwomanII, Ninja) have asserted enough times that including ads pays, and if the ad’s clicked on, it pays more.

To sum up, in maintaining a Minecraft YouTube channel you get to show off your skill, upgrade the same, and connect with fellow Minecrafters, all with the incentive that you earn simultaneously. If this ain’t a good starter deal, I don’t know what is.
