Symph
I'm a dude with a face and I know how to use it.
It is one of the coolest things man has come up with. And what people are doing with youtube is amazing. Up until the last 100 years or so, people spoke in person, through letters, or not at all. When one human being is in the presence of another, it also alters their behavior. So in a sense, people couldn't fully express themselves. They could only express themselves within the confines of how the other person in their presence affected their mood and thoughts.
Now how cool is this, there is this community that meets on the internet. We aren't actually WITH each other, but we all KNOW each other. And we communicate through videos. This is amazing because you aren't limited by the personalities of others, you can express yourself however you want, and not only that, you can use animation and music and camera tricks, to bring what you are saying and doing up to a whole different level of expression. You don't just talk, you show images, you embed songs, you wear costumes, you do cut aways and instead of just saying what you're trying to say, you're making a whole video audio experience out of it.
The fact that this is a community. The fact that people get "famous" within their circles, and we have clicks, we've got the ranters, the musicians, the comedians, the fashionistas, the deep thinkers, the artists, the otakus... I mean, how fun is it to watch people like the Archfiend and Mues Productions get into it with the vloggers they rant on? How cool is it when you watch channels come together, and this guy you liked on one channel is now featuring this guy you liked in another.
It's like we've been given a magic mirror that can portal us to a place where we can watch and interact with millions of other people with the same mirror. But instead of this mirror just reflecting yourself, it actually gives you the ability to appear super human, to say what you are saying exponentially with incredible tools to help you do it.
It seems like something they would make a movie about, but it's real..
