in 2007ish, there was lots of new content creators coming on the scene, but often producing 8 minute episodes.

I found them quiet enjoyable, like 'the guild', but a lot of people struggle with the idea of watching something so short. I had to twist arms to get people to watch it. once they did, they enjoyed it a lot, but were still unwilling to watch content of that length. unfortunately, I think short works much better for independent content producers.

I agree, that size video is great for independent producers. But there will always be demand for large spectacle productions, and for the foreseeable future, those will cost large amounts of money. Simpler distribution won't—can't—help with that.
