How I consume the media, and its future.

How I consume the media, and its future.

February 14 was a special day—for some. It was the 10 year anniversary of YouTube.

TVs are a thing of the past and along with it TV advertising.

A borrowed subscription to Netflix, the occasional YouTube video, the annoying auto-playing Facebook videos and the even more annoying auto-playing videos, with sound, on some 'news' websites.

Once pseudo-addicted to television, aside from the news, I haven't really watched TV in about 5 years.

The rise of how we consume media has changed vastly over the last 10 years.

I feel as though we have a certain level of control of what we consume—as long we don't blindly follow suggested videos.

I scored some ridiculously high mark on my entrance general knowledge test to this program. In my interview the panel asked how I consumed my news. My answer: Facebook.

Its also seen the rise of clickbait and the eventual immunity of the victims.

It also has the ability to shoot users like PSY into internet superstardom and beyond with his Gangnam Style music video.

It's also saw the rise of OK GO. Billy Corgan's accused it of using its videos as a gimmick.

Just the other day, The Winnipeg Free Press, a still profitable daily print, announced they will be starting to charge for its online content, as it feels that subsidizing online content through subscribers is wrong.

Do you think OK Go's videos are gimmicky? What'd you think about paying for news?

Gimmick or not, I like the artsy videos.

The latest video I won't let you down.



And the giant Rube Goldberg machine, funded by State Farm, that is This Too Shall Pass.
