Better yet, check out the people Ken subscribes to on YT. Ken is an amazing composer, arranger and performer. Thank you for giving him the recognition he deserves!

Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done. This action proof to be a win, win situation. This is a true art
work, which will be a success story.There’s usually a good bunch of talent nominated- they just don’t usually win.

Lower resolution and FPS. Only 10 minute videos. No thank you. TV will not be replaced by youtube. Youtube is in a different category. It has its cool stuff and its bad stuff. It is not organized like TV programming. It is a nice place to watch and make entertaining skits, songs, and home videos, but not to replace full length movies or TV shows.

Yes, because everything remains static and never improves. :rolleyes:

Youtube has HD support, and now is limited to 15 minutes - soon to be upped even further - a select few have the privileged now of testing a new video length time limit - which is reportedly up to 4 HOURS.

but what if you like episodic television and story-telling? it's easy to see how youtube (or something like it if you want google to know your every thought and whimsy)could work for reality tv. but most of that which is on youtube seems to be aimed at voyeurs and not those seeking involving entertainment. if that's you desire- by all means enjoy it. i find youtube to be fairly trivial at the end of the day. but it does reflect the increasing ADD character of our society and even those who teach. kinda scary to me.

I spend time on YouTube and enjoy it. I can find old songs that I used to listen to as well as new talent that is very good ( some not so good too ). I have made a lot of friends over there. It has it's entertainment value, but in my opinion will never replace TV.
