I fail to see any purpose in boycotting anything, how would it change the issue?
I suppose its natural that some will get annoyed with stuff they consider 'overexposed', but I dont think a solution has to be negative, I do not think this is a case where the 'old guard' are standing in the way of new videoblogs receiving attention, thats one of the benefits of videoblogging after all. I think its actually gone better than could be expected so far, very few examples of people coming along and trying to build their own hype via the shortcut of taking credit from the people who have actually helped build the scene. I am glad there is no single 'Adam Curry' figure of the videoblogging world. Judging by the sensitivity and flames that can come out of such discussions by videobloggers on topics such as motive, fame, ego, money etc, I expect anybody trying to be 'the vodfather' would be reasted by the vlogosphere. Such things are better when diluted, when there are many vlog brothers and sisters doing such thing, not a single 'great leader'. I am also interested in the fact that there seems to be quite a divide between videoblogs that are well promoted in mainstream media and various websites, and those video podcasts which are promoted via itunes.
