in agreement with you, except under communism there will be no need for youtube (as it would be nothing but a giant money and technologyhole), as we'll just have communal television, communal cinemas, communal theaters and communal video stores instead.

Can we keep the People's Game Grumps though? I need my slop

there will be local chapters where you and your friends can be the game grumps and people will watch you live on stage playing videogames and be delighted by your live commentary

the most valuable thing about YouTube is the amount of tutorials on there, and watching tutorials is generally a solitary activity

Tutorials are better in text form anyway. Also once again, not like "how to" videos weren't made in abundance during the video boom
