If I were to partner my server with a youtuber such as mineplex partnering with captainsparklez, what would be the costs, pros, cons, etc. I want to know if I would have to give them like a % of donations, or a set amount of pay. I would like to know how often they would do videos and such. Just some details like that. Maybe what commands I would have to trust them with. Any other questions you think I might have would also be helpful. My server is this: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/13006/ if anyone would actually be interested, and would propose an offer. I would probably get the youtuber to get people excited about release, and then have a grand release and things. Those are just some ideas though. Thanks :)

Yeah I was thinking on good ways to advertise so I thought this might be a cool option. I mean I just need a YouTuber to maybe help me kick off or keep a stable player base not get me thousands of people.
It would cost bling bling ching out of your pocket. No really depends on views he gets and subs he has ...

If you get any one like captain sparkles then you wouldn't just want him record but to play on the server aswell so the players can see the person playing


In the end it costs extra $$
Yeah I know it would cost money, but I'd rather do like % of donations or something to help my server kick off. Also I just want a smaller one, I was using him as an example.

Tried doing this before and it didn't work out well, because the YT'r wanted a bigger percentage after server became bigger and threatened to tell all his viewers to leave if I didn't follow through.
If you partner, they have some kind of leverage over you, especially if most of your playerbase is their viewers.

Ouch, that's very immature.

Your pros are that you're not losing anything except a % cut, which you wont notice as much as $x for a video. Disadvantage is that the viewers will get bored of your server videos, and so will the youtuber and then it'll be very in-effective where it will be very effective to begin with.

Correct.
As server was starting, the server did well for the first month or so.
Later on, his videos on the server started getting a decline on views when compared to other types of videos.

Any other suggestions for advertising on release. Such as what day and time to release, how to get ready, and what to do?
