I have always thought that, out of all the hype and cambrian explosion that was Web 2.0, Youtube was the only site that clearly improved the world. There is an astounding amount of great content on Youtube. Turns out that giving normal people a platform, and a way of sharing, can have results which are utterly amazing.
I'm not happy that Google basically has a monopoly on this, but honestly, I consider youtube to be a force for good. And even more honestly - to some extent Youtube, and the fantastic content creators I've discovered on it, has gone a long way towards restoring my faith in humanity. Man there are some smart, wise, knowledgable people on this silly little blue speck we call home. And man am I glad they feel the need to share and educate the rest of us.

There's a little revolution that goes on in the hearts and minds of every geek on a site like this when they really, truly realise and admit that 50% of people have an IQ below 100. We need solutions, not complaints. You can't just kill them all.
