If that's the case then it's an evolution of video content and a totally different story than the creepy teenagers stuff. Because one of the big advantages of YouTube is that the content is sort of compressed. There is less filler content like a TV show would need to complete a time slot. The content is more information-dense. These apps take that up a notch or two.

That doesn't necessarily work for everything but for many things cutting out the fat is going to deliver more information in a shorter time.
