Groklaw, 88% of YouTube is New and Original Content, Professor Says.
The citation is to this (long) YouTube presentation, “An anthropological introduction to YouTube” by Dr. Michael Wesch, an anthropologist at Kansas State University.
(Lots of other interesting stuff there too.)
Define “original”.
Most of what I see is lame and lacking totally in originality.
As author Theodore Sturgeon once put it, 90% of everything is crap.
It looks like we have a two percent gap.
