I just leave this here as a form of sanitizing contrarianism to counter all the empty buzzword abounding in this thread.

Democratization /= fueling the televisization of the Web

I can't understand the argument of social media making the world a worse place. Television is made by publishers who get to decide what to deliver to their audience which is in stark contrast to facebook, twitter, etc... where you are in control of who you follow or friend. Additionally we don't care where you share our media, you can feel free to use it in a blog post.

The only thing we're trying to fuel is the ability of the common person to express themselves through short video. If you think that is a bad then we'll have to agree to disagree.
