MTV Is So Yesterday

The other day I left a comment on another blog why the newspapers financial incomes have become outmoded. The same can be said of the recording industry. At one time MTV in coordination with huge corporations once got to decide what listeners would get to see. Then along came YouTube and a number of other internet sites which upset the apple cart. Now fans get to decide who succeeds or not. There's no better example then the video below. The Hollens are entirely dependant on the number of views and amount of donations to their Patreon account as to whether they succeed or not.



Another example is this James Corden video which has received over a million and half views (more then his show on network TV itself)

Meghan Trainor Carpool Karaoke


Just a thought.
Right now in Washington there's an impeachment hearing going on. The outcome will be decided solely by biased politicians who will decide for us. Has this too become an outdated model for dealing with such things?

Wouldn't it be a good thing if the Senate differed to voters leaving it up to "the people" whether the president should be impeached or not?
