There's a whole new scene now that's way beyond the whole "random edits and effects" shit that typified YTPs for so long. I mean, it sounds silly and something I never thought would say, but a lot of this newer breed of YTP is pretty entertaining.
Well, there's always been stupid youtube poops, and there's always been clever ones.
I think this is a personal bugbear for me because in my field, it's always irksome when the mainstream press reviews a comic book by saying 'this is too good to be called a comic book'. I mean, it IS a comic book. Why not adjust your personal definition of the word to fit reality, rather than adjust reality to fit your personal definition of the word?
