I personally think he should, although thats not to say his under-10 minute videos aren't good viewing. Far from it! But I'd just love some longer ones simply because I could watch the show all day if I had the chance! Also, having seen the improvement in quality of layout of Pete's homepage since he became a partner, it makes me think HCG would benefit from a similar move What do you think guys? |

I would love to see what kind of layout he would get. Maybe after the movie gets done and word of mouth spreads about it, maybe YouTube will see that he deserves it. Who knows, he could get partner soon and get some more notoriety for the movie. |

I don't know if his opionon changed on this. It might have since he has much more subs. But I asked him a while ago. 8 months so it probably changed somewhat. But this was on my channel comments its funny I am not interested in partnership the reason is I don't want people to deal with the annoying ads. " |

Thats a good point, though I believe most HGC fans would gladly put up with the ads if there was more content. Or perhaps I'm wrong? I know I'd be fine with it |

I don't know if he should cause that is up to Johnny M...but he deserves it. The quality of his video's is second to no one. Based on his content and quality he should have 50,000 subs or more and he has the best co-host on youtube...RobMan!!! |

I doubt he (or anyone else) is in it just for the money, and I've heard Pete and others say that the money is not too great unless you have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. But it would be nice to see some Youtubers making a little money from their hard work, although the subscribers and the fun they have is also a reward in itself. Personally, I don't see a big problem with the ads on Pete's channel. I've been on sites where the ads are in your face and they make site navigation a real pain. For example, AVGN's webpage is full of strange ads (including ones for Scientology) which is not too big a problem, however some of his videos foce you to sit through a 15 to 30 second add before the video kicks in. That is what I cannot stand. |

I would love to see this happen and he certainly deserves it with the time and effort he puts into his vids....the quality certainly shows that. He clearly knows what he is talking about and is always informative. Just a great overall channel that needs many more subs |

I think it would be a great reward for HCG to get partnership. His top notch quality makes him one of the greatest Gaming channels to watch. However I wonder how he will handle the new website, will he slowly detach from YouTube and start posting (longer) vids on there exclusively? |

Heck yes I would! I just feel when he is doing a review that spans across a whole series that I bet he sure would appreciate some more time! He must have to edit a lot and cut out a lot of good bits just to make the time limit which always sucks, you can see how much passion he has for it, so it must be a bummer to make it fit this limit when he just spent so much time putting it together. Would be great to see! I'm actually surprised that he hasn't made partner yet. |

Well I was just recently watching one of his older videos and he said that he makes the videos around 15 minutes and then he cuts abunch of it out. |

Okay I am ready to come here and answer this for sure! Thanks everyone for the great comments! In the past I had never wanted ads to show up, but Porcelain is right it kills me editing everything OUT of the videos,like the last one with me and Rob talking about game art books. It was 15 minutes long and I had to edit us both down to 10 and I lost 4 books out of it too. Sometimes editing to 10 minutes is a good thing it makes you trim the fat but lately I feel really good stuff is getting cut because I have to cut something to make it fit. I think Pete can agree we never started channels to make money and I doubt we ever will from them, I have a full time job and I would never leave it. I don't need the money from youtube BUT I need the time limit broken. And I got denied partnership last week as they said my channel was doing nothing new  Also to answer another question I will never leave youtube but I will post some very personal cool videos only on the website but regular episodes will always be on youtube. So for the foreseeable future it will be multipart episodes. and some big ones coming up!  |

Awesome! However, you should keep trying for partership man. It took Pete a few times to finally get accepted so mabye it will be the same with your channel? You should get accepted because well... Your channel is awesome lol. Anyway Im looking forward to future content from you Partner or Non-Partner!. |

That's good to hear about the plans for the website and the YT channel. Hopefully you will eventually get partnership, or Youtube upgrades the time limit to maybe 15 mins or so. Like when Gmail to to insane storage at once. Looking forward to the new episodes as usual! |

I would love to see longer more in depth videos but at the same time I also think the time limitations helps the video stay focused and professional. It helps trim the fat I would say. Either way, I'm a huge fan. |

I am happy to see you aren't against the idea of being a partner. I usually do not watch TV as a) I am so behind in the current series, b) it usually is crap and c) Netflix allows me to start from beginning to end if I find one I like ( Jericho ). However, I find myself not being able to get enough of HCG and several other channels. I've rewatched them over and over. So cheers to future eps multi-part or otherwise! |
