Maybe it's because I only watch or subsribe to a certain number of 
people, but I always get the feeling that for every Epic Fu or Ask a 
Ninja, there are a thousand "shows" like mine....which isn't a show 
at all, just a personal vlog...so for them to not be aware or to 
state that "only we can do Hero's"....maybe he is sorta 
right....again maybe it's because I don't watch a lot of 
internet "shows" so I am missing out...but when I search YT, or Yahoo 
video, etc....all I see are just a bunch of viral videos....

I don't know, I am sure there is talent out there but it still seems 
a bit fragmented at times.....

I don't know, I agree that it is frustrating....I am just not smart 
enough to figure out how to change it.
