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.
