In what could be a revolution for the little guy, Youtube is considering paying popular video producers for their uploads. This has the potential to change the source of our entertainment. As soon as one of these producers creates the next “Friends” or “Seinfeld”, lookout corporate television. And now with the lure of money, it’s only a matter of when.
Come to think of it, this is going to be revolutionary. The prospect of pay-for-play could create a whole new class of videomaker, not a dweller of the Ivory Tower of broadcast but a middle-class erstwhile vid-volunteer who will suddenly be awash in cash. With the prospect of a hit video that pays big, this adds a whole new element to the uploading jones. Roll the open, cue the upheaval. – Charlie White
