Should I get a capture card and upload to Youtube?

So it's always been a dream of mine to upload videos on Youtube and get praise for them. But now that I can buy an Elgato HD, I'm starting to rethink this, I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to buy the Elgato and put so much effort into videos. And no one sees them..ever. What do you think I should do.
My videos consist of PS3: COD Zombies, and soon to come PC gaming.

Well...
Yes and no. It is a fun thing to do especially if it's with friends, and if you put your name out there through social media, school, work, whatever it may be, you can get a bit of local attention which grows into bigger things. However, becoming the YouTube famous PewDiePie or SkyDoesMinecraft isn't so easy, obviously. But people will still see your videos if the quality, both of your commentating and of the gameplay, is good. but if becoming popular is your only goal, not having fun with friends or making videos to laugh at later, I feel like you'd be doing it for the wrong reason. So if you really wanna do it GO FOR IT!, as long as YOU enjoy it.

Also, um Twitch is way cooler.
