They live on borrowed time from rich benefactors who pull the bacon out of the fire at the last minute. <br />Why do you think a media conglomerate as huge as CNN would go after farking Alex Jones or Wall Street Journal, (parent corp. News Corp), would go after PewDiePie? <br />Viewers, ratings, eyes. <br />They aren't getting them, the YouTubers are. It's that simple.

Two points: 1) That prestige publications have managed to stay up goes to prove my point, not against it. 2) "dying media" doesn't only refer to print, it's just my example. The phrase was used about the tv networks, seeing movies theatrically, etc. Betamax was supposed to be the death of movies, so was the DVD. Now we're on streaming and we're still obsessed with movies and the people who make them. <br /><br />Progress does make some things obsolete. But it isn't always progress alone, which the "dying media" predictions seem predicated upon. Vulture capitalists are killing a lot of alt.weeklies, for example. tetsujinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329099352205176388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-15287167198485356832018-03-06T19:27:41.632-08:002018-03-06T19:27:41.632-08:00As strange as it sounds...some of these YouTube st...As strange as it sounds...some of these YouTube stars are selling out stages with touring shows, making money off books and signings as well as YouTube Red being a thing...I'd say that even if you don't...I wouldn't quite discount them from being successful.

The thing is, the genuinely talented ones like Bo Burnham move on and do things elsewhere, and then you don't think of them as "YouTubers". <br />The people who shout and overact at video games, or stage sub-Jackass "pranks", or narcissistically chronicle their lives, those people will always be "YouTubers".<br />Memhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171734437474412861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-53824169295431642782018-03-06T15:30:55.284-08:002018-03-06T15:30:55.284-08:00There is a lot of genuine talent on youtube.
