The purpose of video is information and/or entertainment. I drive my car to work every day and don't have a clue how it works. It just gets me there every day without problems.
To be honest, I don't care how it works as long as it does it's job. The same can be applied to any product/service that exists. Just because we are bordering on, or actually are, purists, junkies, enthusiasts, anoraks etc etc, we shouldn't assume that everyone else shares the same values as us.
I love, and live for, video and photography. I have long realised that very few people I mention this to are even remotely interested in my hobby all they say to me is........."show me the video" - that's all they want!
We mustn't be offended or insulted. I am absolutely useless and have no interest in golf for example. This would be unthinkable to many others out there but, I cannot stand the stupid sport - it makes no sense to me. I fully appreciate that others think the much the same about my interests.
All I can say is........"Thank God for that!"
It means that some of us can impress the hell out of the public with our video's and others can impress the hell out of me when they get a 'hole in one"
It would be a boring old world if everyone was good at, and interested in, video, golf, car mechanics, race driving and every other thing that can be done.
So Marc.........Long live 'You Tube' - it's crap! Full of utter shite! But hey...........doesn't it make us look great eh?
