This is my second attempt. My first was so full of bile and vitriol that my screen started to stink. I know these people. I work with them. And they're not important. They're not a microcosm of anything. They're a desperate cry for attention by a bunch of trust fund kids. I can tell you want this to be relevant and worthy of comment. It's not. I'm sorry. Youtubers only matter to other Youtubers and they only matter as much as their ability to buy or trade followers. The Glenn Becks and BIll Mahers of the world have to compete in a marketplace - Youtubers can buy influence and their best method towards reach is to spam, spam, spam their way to the top. I can also say - as a Streamy nominee - that quality absolutely doesn't fucking matter one little bit in the land of Youtube. So whatever parallels you're trying to make to the real world, thanks for trying, but it's kind of like trying to call Buzzfeed a legitimate news source.
