I feel as though I've got my own blog post to write in concert with the views you've outlined here. It could be a strange, masculine duet of sorts.
I'll be brief, something I'm not good at doing.
We're the avant-garde, and YouTube, et al; are the established, the "institute", we could be considered the outsider artists, who can freely push the boundaries (of which there are none), which would be crushed under the thumb of a machine algorithm elsewhere.
Hope that made sense. I'm very sleepy today!
