This from Rupert pretty much nails it, not just about vidoeblogging but about media - commercial, fine art, indie, ALL OF IT - in the new landscape:
"No one pays for media. People don't pay for the movie when they see it at a theatre. They could wait and watch it on the telly or BitTorrent it. They pay for the EXPERIENCE of going out - huddling together in the dark to feast on sugary crap and distract themselves momentarily from the ever-present inevitability of their encroaching loneliness, senility and death. Just like you pay for Chinese food when you don't want to cook and the inside of your apartment is starting to feel like the Overlook." I'm not quite as pessimistic on the rest of it, even as a dyed in the wool anti-advertising anti-product-placement worshipper at Rev. Billy's Church of Stop Shopping, but as an analysis of where it all stands now that post is as spot on as anything I've read.
