in agreement with you, except under communism there will be no need for youtube (as it would be nothing but a giant money and technologyhole), as we'll just have communal television, communal cinemas, communal theaters and communal video stores instead.
In which one of these will four hour video essays be found
all of them? except they'll actually be good. they did actually make them decades before the internet was even invented.
Don't think this would pair well with cleaning my bathroom or folding laundry
Can we keep the People's Game Grumps though? I need my slop
there will be local chapters where you and your friends can be the game grumps and people will watch you live on stage playing videogames and be delighted by your live commentary
I already make enough poopy jokes to be an Aren Hansen impersonator
Who will be my Danny though?
I think youtube style stuff could absolutely exist under communism, just that it would be like old youtube, people making videos for fun, and sharing it because they want people to see it, not to make money.
the most valuable thing about YouTube is the amount of tutorials on there, and watching tutorials is generally a solitary activity
Tutorials are better in text form anyway. Also once again, not like "how to" videos weren't made in abundance during the video boom
I thought communism was supposed to improve things?
