I think this is the most impoartnat thing to do is reconsider your
view point on this. You assume this to be the case because it was
this way in the past.
Look at the musical artist. It used to be like this. As a musician,
you either made 1,000,000 or you were in debt. There was no in
between. NONE.
Now, as a musician, you can make $1000/mo, $2000/mo, $3000/mo $4000/
mo, or any amount. MANY DO. This is a big change. Its because the
technology got cheap and the Intenet let distribution and promotion
flow. And people could try hard and not be dependent on a handful of
elite companies.
You can see the paralell here. Now with video, despite what you said,
more than a few people can make a comfortable living doing it,
without the competitive gatekeeprs in the way.

No one has ever questioned this. This is extreme to infer that anyone
here is videoblogging for the number one purpose to make money. Has
anyone ever said that they are doing this? I have never assumed this
from anything anyone has ever said.
