I absolutely love YouTube! When I go to view something on YouTube, I end up spending endless hours poking around watching crazy ass people doing some crazy ass stuff……all for my entertainment.
It’s just amazing when you think about all the hits certain videos get in such a short time period. For example, Numa, Numa has had over 9 million hits. YouTube is providing the public with a new kind of entertainment. From watching a chubby boy singing some Romanian pop song, a guy doing a dance parody, sensational news events, to a sleeping kitten (27 seconds in length), which was viewed over 2 million times in a period of two weeks, YouTube is a big part of the technological social hub and paving the way for all types of new literacy.
This technological social hub is something the traditional media elite are struggling with. Because of this sharing and making of content, between people like you and me, the media elite are losing their influence on what they think we as an audience should be watching. Advertisers can no longer count on Hollywood alone.
