If this was applied to an organisation, and people voted for what the organisation did, Dan would be the organization in the situation and his viewers (us) would be the clients of the organization. If the company adopted this, they would do it so that it would work for them. They wouldnt adopt this way of decision making to better the world, better rather themselves which, in the long run would better the world anyway. Couldn't have said it better myself. Oh I get it. You have all the time in the world to micro manage everything. Obviously you have time time to read through 500+ page health care bills. You have the time to discuss stock of companies and make a decision. This is why we elect/hire people do this for us. |

Man, I must be a genius or something, cause this is exactly what my first thought of the secret project. But I thought it would be even bigger! When he announced it, I was not amazed though.... I mean...I've seen this before. It was fun on like... DoD (David on Demand) and stuff. But it gets kind of boring in the end.... BUT!!!! It will be fun for Dan  |

In a way, Dan's project is, well, even greater than just one project. It is many projects in one. We can also help Dan too with this. Even though we will tell him to do a certain project some time, that doesn't mean we can't help Dan. Maybe helping Dan in projects could be something the next generation of triads could do. All we need to do first is tell Dan what to do.

Pfft... it's not as revolutionary as I thought it would be. Dan isn't 'that' famous, and no matter what he does he most likely won't influence the rest of the world to do the same. Theres a lot of retarded people on the internet, they'll try to make him their monkey boy. Oh well. It's only a year of his time wasted. Feel free to punch me. =P

Someone guessed it in the speculation thread and I thought "nah, its not something that dan-centered" but then.. it was O.o It's a really cool idea, I think. It'll be fun making him do stuff and it'll be some sort of learning experience for him and maybe for us. But tbh, i am disappoint. I thought itd be much huger. like i said, less dan-centered. but oh well. Couldn't have said it better myself. Oh I get it. You have all the time in the world to micro manage everything. Obviously you have time time to read through 500+ page health care bills. You have the time to discuss stock of companies and make a decision. This is why we elect/hire people do this for us. /agree furthermore, youd get a load of idiots thinking they know how to run some important organisation and making their decisions for them when they really dont know anything about it. AND it'd be really easy for someone with an agenda to influence those people to manipulate the organisation to their whim. Disclaimer: ive only read the last page so sorry if i repeated stuff someone else said. *goes to read more* |

The sucess of the project will only be as good as we make it.It has potential it depends on the ideas people submit it could be amazing though.  |

anyway..
After reading the rest of the thread I noticed people have the attitude of "we can make him do stuff for us". Wouldn't it be a good idea to also think about what we can make him do with us? I mean people are talking about how he's only one man and he can't do everything alone, he can't take on huge projects by himself, but those things would be more than possible with our support and our participation and help. Jus.. keep that in mind I guess.

I was just hoping that the project didn't involve himself making more money.
Half of me hopes that this tanks and that he has to end up getting a real job to support himself.

The point of the project isn't just so Dan can make money; it's an experiment that could possibly change a lot of things. I don't see how making videos isn't a "real" job because this is what YouTube partners do for a living. Just because they don't work 9-5 at a desk job where they hate their boss doesn't mean they don't have "real" jobs. Maybe this is just my opinion and i'm not trying to rip on you, but making YouTube videos isn't a fake job it's how people make an income. |

The point of the project isn't just so Dan can make money; it's an experiment that could possibly change a lot of things. Yes but in a way, he is hyping up the public to interact with him. He will then make videos which will be YouTube partnered. These videos will just make him even more wealthy. I don't see how making videos isn't a "real" job because this is what YouTube partners do for a living. Just because they don't work 9-5 at a desk job where they hate their boss doesn't mean they don't have "real" jobs. Maybe this is just my opinion and i'm not trying to rip on you, but making YouTube videos isn't a fake job it's how people make an income. I'm not saying that one needs to work at a desk for them to have a real job. I'm saying that he's putting an awful lot of trust into YouTube for financial stablility. I know that YouTube is ran by Google, but it's only a matter of time before some new technology comes out and YouTube becomes old. Once something becomes old, it loses most of it's funding. Especially in today's world, people are always looking for the new thing. Dan won't be the "new thing" for too much longer and when that day comes, I'll be happily doing what I love and making a living doing it while he will be asking if people want fries with their meal. |

This is true, however the risk Dan takes and the chances of YouTube tanking are no greater than the chances of other companies tanking, like Comcast or Verizon or any other place that would hire workers to have what you would consider a "real job". |

I'm not saying YouTube will tank, I'm just saying that it's just another form of technology. It will pass in 5-10 years. And when that 5-10 years comes what will Dan have when he's done? If my company failed, I would still have my college degree which would make me highly more marketable than just "the kid that makes videos a lot". I think relying on YouTube as his only form of financial gain is foolish (this goes for any YouTuber), but that's just my opinion. I'm allowed to have my own personal opinion. I think that this Dan 3.0 thing is just more $$$ for Dan. It might be slightly revolutionary, but that is shadowed by the amount of hype and money he will get. EDIT: I hate getting sniped before I get to make my full arguement :/ |
