I'm also intensely Youtube positive, even if I don't like ads or google. Youtube is one of the best things on the internet. The shame is that it's centralized with a single point of failure. The upsides of youtube are enormous - people learn a lot there. It's not just nerds learning about stuff, but everyone. How do I fix this thing on my car, etc? People show and tell about all kinds of topics. This is making people more knowledgeable and capable on a citizen level(!) The written word champions here will have to realize that for some, videos are a superior medium for transmitting know-how.
