There's a big audience for YouTube creators and for many it's their job. It's like having your own studio and making content but instead for broadcast you are going straight to online. The wonderful people at YouTube have made given these tools at no cost. Yes, some content is obviously better then other but there are some great channels out there.

On another note there's actually a studio in California much like this. They are called Maker Studios. They basically represent YouTube creators and give them access to their space as well as help advertise and market their channel.

I'm actually about to begin my first YouTube channel to go along for the ride to see what this is all about. I direct music video which goto broadcast, but it's always nice to broaden your horizon and get your toes wet in other fun little projects.
