YouTube and the content creator industry (and the surrounding hardware tech) excites me.

I follow a channel on YouTube called "The Best Ever Food Review Show", a super high-production values travel/food TV channel produced by a guy from Minnesota who bootstrapped the operation himself. Imagine having the camera equipment (anything from Sony RX's to BlackMagic) and computer hardware (PC/Mac) and software (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, FCP) today that is capable of producing a show that is equal to or exceeds the quality of most network travel TV shows. (he has since hired a team, but still, I'm sure their budget is a fraction of Food Network budgets)

Same deal with MKBHD -- really high quality content and really high production values. (MKBHD uses Red cameras)

I have no interested in producing content myself, but I can't help but be fascinated by the amount of amazing independent content that's out there on YouTube, all enabled by prosumer hardware and software.

I went to YouTube to watch "The Best Ever Food Review Show" and to be honest I thought it would be dumb. I ended up watching a very entertaining episode about the best fried chicken burger. Thanks for sharing.
