Epilogue: YouTube killed the Hollywood star

One of the most fascinating and difficult things about being a critic in this particular moment is the sheer volume of culture available to us. The number of original television shows in production is overwhelming. New business models, like video on demand, and new buyers, like Netflix, mean that lots of movies are reaching audiences and merit consideration. And this is not even to mention Web-based content.


This latter category is particularly important, given a new study that suggests younger viewers care more about YouTube sensations than conventional Hollywood actors. Sometimes I feel like I do not even know where to start. As our question of the day, I would like your recommendations: Which YouTube content should I be watching?
