She’s not really on keeping up and isn’t a executive producer she had life of Kylie which flopped and she introduced by telling her viewers “this is a television, it’s like a big phone”. I think she thinks of herself as more of a social star because her time on keeping up has been limited since she was 18.

I was just thinking that too! It’s a genius idea. We’re literally seeing things from the camera mans point of view and you fell somehow connected to them as well because they are also just a person watching and reacting to what’s going on. It’s also makes it seem less like a production because instead of two people being filmed by an anonymous camera man like traditional media where even in reality shows the filming part is ignored, they act like the cameras aren’t there, but by acknowledging the camera man and having them contributing to the content itself it becomes more like 3 people filming themselves. I think it was a recent Saturday night live episode where the cast broke character and all started laughing and they cut to a camera man who was also laughing which you never see on television and then they cut to his camera view and it was shaking because of his laughing. I don’t know why but I just loved it! Probably for the same reason we love Andrew it makes it feel more real.

This is a naive statement though. Naive because you don't realize the scale involved. Video upload services take a lot of bandwidth so the barrier to entry isn't obtainable by any regular company unless they are already a large multinational or invent truly game changing mechanisms to manage this (but content delivery platforms are already mature). And then you have to be able to police your own content unless you want a lot of copyright issues or other legal action taken against you, both of which will probably hurt your financial prospects in running the site in then long run. And then you have the fact that the more popular the state grows the more it attracts anybody and everybody and also is more bandwidth intense. The barrier to entry to compete with KZfaq is the thing that is preventing others from competing with KZfaq.

It's all lobbying from mainstream media. They're in their death throes, and spending billions on trying to kill youtube or take over it. Millennials and Gen Zers don't watch cable anymore, i haven't had cable in my house in 8 years. If they don't get us addicted to their content like our parents and their parents, all the power they've accumulated over time will be stripped from them. Even the recent FCC decision to move all content that's kid friendly to youtube kids where there are no comments or ads or ability to earn money from your videos; big media is no doubt behind that decision, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on "convincing" those lawmakers to chip away at KZfaq's dominance in whatever way possible. All that just makes me resent traditional media even more, and makes me far less likely to consume their content. Notable exception of course, is Melanie Martinez, whose movie was extremely authentic, and put out for a whole month for free with no ads. It really feels like youtube content, and not something you'd ever see on regular tv. I went and bought her movie just to support her for being so awesome

This is why experienced companies like professional sports have a draft every year and are always promoting new talent. The complete idiots running KZfaq don't get that and have destroyed their own cultural relevance. They'll pay or it. They've been on a downward slide for years in terms of their trend ranking.

Related to the KZfaq theme - could you do a video on Kids' KZfaq? There's channels such as RyansToysReview which is basically embedded toy ads aimed at toddlers, which there has been controversy about. Also some anecdotes of videos that look like kids videos but spliced into the videos are violent and disturbing themes. And apart from the content of the videos themselves, what will be the effect on young kids of growing up with such accessible streaming content at their fingertips at all times? Is there any evidence that this is affecting them already? Is such an unregulated platform even safe for kids to be using, since compared to television where all the shows are screened, basically anyone can publish on KZfaq and often the only monitor on the content is algorithms or other user reviews?

LMG is trying with Floatplane, but it's much harder than it sounds. You have to bring your viewers over to the new platform, and if your viewers watch all their other content on youtube, they'll be unlikely to switch viewing platforms for one creator. You would need a coordinated mass migration to the new service. Aside from that, the entry cost is extremely prohibitive. Imagine how big the servers need to be to hold all the content on youtube. It would cost billions. KZfaq's not going anywhere, and we're pretty much at their mercy.

BroadwayInHD Yeah, they're just starting out and doing it as a passion project. I don't have an account either, tbh. It's mostly just tech youtubers for now anyway, but they need to slowly build up capital with their current loyal audience of techies, so they can grow their servers. It's probably not something that's going to be interesting or accessible to the general public for years, if ever. It just goes to show how hard it is to start a new platform like this. When you don't have 10 billion dollars to set up server farms all over the USA, you gotta start small with a dedicated and passionate audience who will help you raise capital, and donate/contribute.

KZfaq has a lot of areas where they need to up their ish, and, even though I understand why some people may think their complaints matter to massive corporations, moving away from the platform is the only assurance we have of changing something. We have no choice but to be complicit in the system for now (unless we go off the grid or watch cable, ugh), but supporting the people who are trying to make a new platform, with the aim of eventually moving to the new one is our best bet. -Are we still talking about KZfaq?-

I have watched some talk show clips (love John Oliver!) but as far as personal celebrity channels? Pssshhh. Don’t care! The only one I’ve seen that might count is Steve-O. My point is, the people who are putting the most into supporting KZfaq don’t give two shits if celebrities make videos.

One thing I saw somebody say about why we don’t watch youtubers on tv is because we don’t have cable, but for the most part, I feel like a lot of us just don’t have the structured schedule to sit down and watch a show that happens at the same time every week. We like the flexibility of youtube, you can watch a video at any point in your day and anywhere you are. A lot of us watch things on our phones or computers and if we have to watch it on tv at a specific time, it takes away the freedom we have when watching KZfaq. Also, if this was on tv, I would have missed it because it was “on” 3 hours ago; but since it was on KZfaq, I was able to click onto the app, see this video, and watch it while still benefitting you.
