The Wave of the Future

Ah the internet. What a magical place of "freedom" and creative growth

News to me
  • I suppose I never really drew connections between the budgets of professional television shows and amateur internet shows, but it really does make sense. Online viewers who are looking for cutting edge resources and high value will find themselves searching for quite some time, because many shows online lack the funds to deliver what they are looking for. They do the best they can on the budget they have, which may range from some to no money.
  • Views mostly rely on your name being spread from person to person because it's unlikely that someone will stumble upon your video and stay long enough to appreciate it to its fullest extent. Again, seems obvious enough, but some people (*cough cough* I) don't always think about these things.
  • Quality over quantity? This I would have to argue with unless a quality of the audience could be more well defined. It is certainly good to have a large audience, but how does the quality of the audience effect how long a show/web series lasts?
Cool story bro
  • I think we all saw this coming: online shows are almost becoming more popular than their traditional television counterparts. The internet is becoming a part of who we are (almost physically too). It does allow for easier access and more freedom of  speech at least.
  • Oh my god I love Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog... Neil Patric Harris is the best xD
Seriously, how would one define a "quality" audience? What makes it so much more beneficial to the producers of said show?
