Id agree with that. There are clearly circumstances where doing is important. And for example, as a non-vlogger, if I spent my time ridiculing the efforts of everyone who 'does', telling people that there stuff isnt a vlog, saying its all rubbish or hatever, then I would be on very thin ice (but then so would a vlogger saying the same stuff I guess, but it may be a little easier to take from a fellow vlogger)
It would also be far too easy for me, with a well paid day job, to sit around moaning about vloggers selling out, which wouldnt be fair because I have the luxury of not needing to associate earning with vlogging. Likewise its easy for me to criticise this wikipedia situation because Im not one of the people who've spent so much time and energy making edits, only to find them removed by Pat. Claerly frustration has been building for a long time and its all come out in a concentrated blast of emotion and the desire to end the situation. So Im not siding with Pat, I just assume that some of his edits have merit, and I always get a sickly feeling when the mob takes effect here.
