The You in Youtube

      this article talks about the future of small time animators and freelance animators and designers on youtube. if the small time animators stay independent and do not partner with companies the will not get as many views and they will be more vulnerable to copyright strikes and attacks on their channel, but all hope is not lost. although the alternatives are harder they are still alternatives. for a self employed animator using youtube as their outlet they will have make, pitch, and sell their creations to their fans and hope to get ad-revinue all while battling copyright and plagiarism.
this author seems to have done his research on youtube and can write with a good flow. his sentences art choppy and there isn't any awkward pause in his blog. he talks about how youtube is more about pointing viewers towards high ad potential channels and because there is just so much content being made now that the limit to what is being watched is not by the channel or a TV schedule it is made by the viewer. one of his weaknesses is that he docent get to the point of the article very fast he is two to three paragraphs in before he tells you what he is arguing for.
