Such hybris, you can't directly just assume that the sales increase is a cause of only the yogscast. There are other youtubers or mediaoutlets that can cause indiegames to get popular. The system is basically stealing money from other people's coverage of the game, people who may be morally opposed to taking money of Indiedevs.

What if other youtubers don't want to make money for Yogscast?

YogsDiscovery is basically a systematic overevaluation of Yogscast's influence, and it's clearly set up to gain undeserved credit and money. Even though ALL of the credit and money isn't undeserved it's still a shitty system, unfair in it's core.

So no, Referal links are better, those are direct causation by your video which we can confirm.

Frankly I see this as a scummy buisness practice made to extort desperate Indiedevelopers. Which is really sad since an Indiegame made Yogscast popular in the first place.
