i don't know. i could look it up. i'm not going to.
it's just that, in the sense that these videos should exist, should they not be made by trained professionals? and, should that not be state funded? or at least funded by community organizations?
regarding the news, grassroots news organizations have existed forever. democracy now existed long before youtube did. that's an existing model...
there's another discussion that i think is worthwhile as well: the guaranteed minimum income. it's more applicable to the artsier side of things. things that weren't getting hits, anyways.
but, i am actually in agreement with the crux of this. the idea that you have some kind of right to make a living off of stupid youtube videos is outrageous.
