I make moving pictures!
My two cents:
One of the biggest road blocks is audio and video equipment. I know a lot of students (and adults) don't have the money to invest in clear audio recorders or HD video equipment, but it's immediate quality that can differentiate a hobbyist to a professional.
If you want to appear like you are taking YouTube seriously, your video quality has to appear that way too. It sucks cuz not anyone can just upgrade equipment, but sometimes it's a huge roadblock for growth as audience on YouTube these days is getting more and more used to HD videos and cinematography.
