Invent awesome products, services or content + give it away for free on internet + get the traffic + charge for advertisement + sell the products/services/content = new successful I-business model???
I was very surprised to hear Chris Anderson defending Wikipedia as a credible source until I came across the following analysis http://www.vqronline.org/blog/2009/0...anderson-free/ showing that in his book Chris heavily borrowed from Wikipedia himself. He was even accused of plagiarizing.
Jon Lajoie is a You Tube success story. Low budget, but funny and talented. His career is just now taking off. Yeah, there's a lot of garbage out there.
True there is a lot of crap on youtube. But as Chris hinted thats subjective isn't it? Secondly, a lot of those arguments come from an older mindset of centralized controlled entertainment. The arrogant assumption that a few in control of media understand best what the audience should or wants to see. So yes you will find junk on youtube, but you'll also find gems and unique ideas that you would never get to enjoy or discover in the days prior the internet.
