Unfortunately, unless there is data to examine, this is only a platitude. When I survey the landscape, I'll tend to agree with the parent. Yes, there's been an explosion of content. But there's also been an explosion of consumers. Parent probably pulled the ratio out of thin air, but I'd say his point stands. The explosion of consumers is enough to handle the explosion of producers (and even the so-called prosumers). Honestly, you can count the number of YouTube stars out there with probably five digits, maybe even four. Compare that with annual YouTube views and passive accounts.
