I'm not trying to make an argument for one or the other. What I am pointing out is that there is demand for the whole spectrum. Too often, professional broadcasters write off the web as solely the domain of YouTube content and other material they wouldn't deign to put on-air. The iTunes store is one more data point, to be sure. But we've always tried to provide lots of data points here at LR. There's no silver bullet in figuring out the web audience. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify the point. Ed: Agreed. I’m not trying to make an argument for one or the other. What I am pointing out is that there is demand for the whole spectrum.

If I'm wrong about the aforementioned music video being AI-related, then it begs the question: what's wrong with people!?

People are watching user created videos in their millions on You Tube and other places. It's not one or the other, it's both mass media created content and user created content consumed at different times and different moments and split by demo.

Those that oppose just don't get it and will be left in the dust waiting for their daily newspaper with day old news. Thanks for the reply.

What I am using is the language of those who oppose the concept, the language I often hear from the old guard who dismiss the new media in those terms. I am a proponent, of course.

Aren't you also a proponent of "new media"?? That usually comes from "jokes and teens with mics and laptops"... “not from jokers and teens with microphones and laptops.”
