Google owns Youtube, and already has a music streaming service that sounds exactly like this new Youtube program. I wonder what the goal is here...
Vlogging is what youtube was created for I think. You know, people that want to make videos and don't have a tv show. But then google bought it, now they monetize their videos and it's getting quite competitive.
...better tutorial videos basically stop before anything interesting is revealing and try and get to to be a paid subscriber.
I'm getting really tired of Google. ...and now charging poorest artists while leaving richest with better deals. I'm sure there is more I don't know about I wouldnt like.
In a nutshell, the Net Neutrality aspects that also should be championed for, not just from what is publicized but also equal in this manner too. But one would not hear about this aspect and angle anyways.
Google may start in shifting to prioritizing their bigger traffic market - you know, the ad traffic pullers. Smaller videos, and ones that do not garner enough ad revenue maybe de-emphasized. It gets worse that anyone uploading to Youtube must feel the need to post something "popular" thus garnering ad-traffic revenue for what basically amounts to a worthless video - coupled with a blanket-ad-serving system.
Or, a channel/user/owner submitting copyright claims for a competitor channel to be shut down, and then ripping content to be hosted on their own channel for such ad-revenue... in some cases.
I gave two sites in my first post to this thread. But they may not have the proliferation of selection. Some web series (I partake in some Nostalgia Critic at times) are hosted through Blip. Both leverage existing social media commenting systems - which maybe a negative to some, but better than starting from scratch in that area.
