Good people are being lost to Youtube...

While talking to a friend, I just made a realization about Youtube.

Youtube, while being a creative outlet for countless of young (and now also older) people in the world, it is essentially preventing creativity from flowing out into the real world (i.e. the physical, not-make-believe internet world).

Youtube is like a blackhole, where creativity is being sucked in and lost forever. It is essentially trivializing creativity, since whatever creativity channeled into Youtube is to a certain extent worthless since there is no clear tangible product of that creativity apart from a short video clip.

All the bright, creative, young minds out there who might have interesting ideas are wasting their time making videos on Youtube, when they could have been spending their time chanelling their creative thoughts and ideas into whatever field they would've tried to enter and excel at were it not so easy for them to just channel their creativity into Youtube.

I think this would actually make for pretty interesting social/media research.

Or at least I think so. And I sound like an old person writing this...
