I agree, but not based on Harry Potter or Rowling (never read Harry Potter), but maybe Astrid Lindgren, and countless others. Strike the "training", but keep the awareness, the thinking about what one is doing, which I feel is sorely missing from many youtubers. You're right, it's not rocket science, but some people who woulnd't be able to spill a bucket if you handed them one, can still find someone to setup a camera, mic and "gamer chair" or them, and click upload on their behalf. Maybe we were weird, but from my childhood, I remember how even kids 2 years older or younger might as well have lived in an entirely different world, much less adults or parents. Now I can't find a let's play for a game I'm interested in without coming across what is basically 20-40+ people showing off to 10+ people. This wouldn't be possible without the distortion of "virtual reality" I think. Imagine a 25 year old person coming by a bunch of 13 year olds and lifting a trash can or doing $any_other_stupid_shit, so the kids can be their "fans" and "supporters", and maybe sneak them some cents out of mommy's wallet. That's what I see when I look at a lot of youtube.
