Nobody held a weapon at their sleeves to form up youtube. Too much crap there anyway, and too much repeating of one and the same stuff. sometimes it's fun and useful, but mostly it is - not needed at all. It's like with cellphone chatter. Just listen a bit to the kind of nonsens people send over cellphones while walking in town. "I must tell you that X has this new girl Y and now his former friend Z cried all day long." "Hi darling, I'm at the second crossroad now, I'm home in 5 minutes, bye." "And then I told that he can do you know what and what did he do? Nothing! It was as if he dad not listening!"
We communicate ourselves to death.
And with some people it's hard to imagine that to be a loss.
and the whole web seem to be a marketplace of narcissism. Everybody thinks to be so overly important that he must made himself heared in this poll, that reader's comment. And many seem to consider this to be some kind of basic damocracy. But it's just a polishing of vanities, a killing of time, a behavior of somebody bored to death.
