Ed is correct. People want things like friends / simpsons/lost not the rubbish that appears on youtube and the like.

viral is funny for a while but only for 1-2 minutes. Once youve see one viral vid youve seen them all.

Viral videos may be all the rage for a few weeks, but they don’t replace the Heroes, Friends, Simpsons, and other such series that a lot of people love. So Duncan, Online Video may be going Up, Up, Up, Up, but the content is still meh quality in most cases.

I’m guessing with the writers strike and online videos going up and up, this has got to be hurting DVD purchasing and renting no? Your thoughts?

Second thought……maybe this is a conscious, planned strategy to force all us lemmings over the cliff into the new medium.

Could they be so smart?

It is so great how the tv, movie, and music industry is enabling this to be a sort of “self fulfilling prophecy”, and is putting the nail in their own coffins.

All just because they are too greedy to see it and are willing to embrace the new media.

Yeah let’s blame the writers! They don’t have to eat or anything and if they do, go work in a lumber mill or something, who cares about you as long as I can get stuff for cheap; cause it’s all about me me me.

Has anyone else *not* noticed the writers strike like I have?

I watch some TV (when time allows) and I really don’t see any difference.

THAT is the real issue here, it’s like when the NHL went on strike. No one cared and now the NHL is hurting for an audience.

Most of the TV audience that noticed was probably from an older generation that depends on their nightly TV viewing and scripted sitcoms (evening news followed by sitcoms followed by one of the ‘late’ shows). So I guess it /does/ matter as those ‘older’ people still dictate purchasing and politics in this country. *sigh*

Would be interesting to see if traffic to abc.com, nbc.com, etc. increased as well – i.e. are people flocking online to find the same content, or are they actually looking for new content (Internet TV)?

Their strikes apparently made more people aware of online content now. What a negative effect LOL

This has got to be the most brain dead post yet, that’s just knee-jerk anti-union.

Sure, its good for all of us, that visits are rising for online views. But we forget that excluding user generated content, lowly writers write many of the great pieces that we all talk about.

And it just proves their point even more that they need to be paid for online endeavors just as they get paid for traditional media.

We all want to watch content for free. That would be great. But then who would pay for the servers? The bandwidth? And who produces the content? If we were barraged with ads that paid for all of the video, then don’t the content creaters deserve at least a little scratch?

Isn’t it only fair?

maybe someday internet TV will replace traditional TV.

I think the freelancer writers might be also getting good job because of the writer strikes.

Make the strike longer so that it’ll triple its site audience
