Meh, Youtube is making bank on short videos (often <10min, like Quibi's cap) and many of those aren't spontaneous bursts of creativity anymore, but highly produced products.

- nmfisher 6y agoI hate to play arm-chair executive, but I have this nagging feeling you're right. Many (most?) YouTube content creators are making a pittance that's growing ever smaller by the day - $1.75bn can buy a huge amount of organic content. The obvious mistake was going all-in on the first (unproven) concept and leaving no time/budget to experiment with the latter. Smacks very much of the hubris of a entrenched, well-capitalized industry.
