Great to see, very well deserved. Congrats, Peter!

I think you mean "Congratulations, juggler." 'Cos that's how he's billed there. :/

Now all we need is a little smile - c'mon Peter, I know you are concentrating hard, but just a little smile! ;-)

Unfortunately, instead of an embed or link to Peter's video..it is an msn video uploaded by some "Jokeroo", without any mention of Peter. Does this in any way help Peter, his popularity or youtube channel?

Firstly, I'm not sure this is actually what I would call 'viral'. Secondly, this is completely with my permission. I was contacted through my YouTube channel by a guy from Rumble.com, part of which is Jokeroo I believe. He said I could earn more than through YouTube (ie nothing) by uploading my 3 ball stack video to Rumble.com and that they would be interested in using it. After verifying that it wasn't some kind of scam I did upload it to try it out and see what would happen. Basically you hand over the rights for them to use it however they want. They then distribute it to other sites like yahoo and msn to use and you earn 60% of the revenue from advertising. So far I've earned nothing, but maybe there's a delay. I'll keep you updated. The video on the Rumble website does mention my name but I guess the other sites don't have to. I don't mind either way.
If I do earn anything from this it will be the first time I've ever earned from juggling, which I am a bit conflicted about.

Click the info (i) button on the msn video and it does show the original Rumble text, which includes my name.

I'm pleased to hear you'll get some credit out of it, and perhaps some cash too. Good luck.

Why does that make you feel conflicted?

Are you an Eliza bot?

Orinoco - - Parent

Tell me about Eliza bot.

Little Paul - - Parent

Ahh. Please continue...

Just because juggling has always been a hobby for me. I'd worry that earning money from it would change the way I'd view it. It could become less enjoyable for me. I have been paid a couple of times in the form of juggling balls though.

Little Paul - - Parent

If the payment worries you, donate it to charity. Then you're not being paid for your juggling, you're doing it for the greater good. Win!

I nominate my pension fund as an appropriate charity. I don't know if that counts as "the greater good", but every time I eat a doughnut I become greater.

Think of it as making money from the video, that happens to contain juggling.

Nobody really makes money juggling, they make money doing a performance that happens to contain juggling.

Ohh, nice phrasing!
