YouTube the best way to become famous.

So before we all blame YouTube for making people famous let us at least know what YouTube is. YouTube is a free video streaming website, it allows anyone to post any type of video they can think of. For example the thousands of random people posting cat videos.

So since we got that out of the way let’s look at how YouTube is effecting the music industry. Back in the old days in order for a musical artist to become famous they would have to record a demo of their song, and either send it to a big record company or some shady guy in the back alley

saying he will make you famous. In the wonderful world of today in order for a musician to make it 
famous we have YouTube. Before you go and record a song trying to become famous on YouTube it is harder than it sounds. Due to the large influx of cat videos actually having people listen to your music is near to impossible. In order to get you music heard on YouTube you need someone famous on YouTube to promote your music. One of the big things on YouTube right now are gaming channels. These YouTubers play videogames for a living. Yep that’s right they get paid to play videogames, but they are always looking for music to play in their videos. So if you become friends with some of these YouTubers your set. Most normal people might think that music artist on YouTube are just wasting their time, but the artist can actually make money off their videos. Yes you heard it here folks you can make money off YouTube videos, it might not be enough to get you from behind the deep fryer but it is something. In order to make money on YouTube you must become a partner. To become a YouTube partner you must have over a certain amount of subscribers, and a certain average of views per video.

For example for a YouTuber who has around a thousand views on one video he/she will make between $0.30 to $2.50

I know right, that person is rich now, but that is only one video. I won’t go too far into the details but if you want to see how much they can make click on this link http://ytcalc.com/. Now some of you might think that these independent artist on YouTube are killing the traditional record company, but all these record company need to do is hire these artist. Look at Justin Bieber (and yes I did just use Bieber as an example) long before Bieber was overly hyped he was also a YouTube artist.

Dam it feels like I just wrote a book about YouTube artist. I will spare you anymore torment of by BS rant, and in summary I think that YouTube is good way to become famous…well it is a better chance of becoming famous than a record company.

Is this news?

Now I'm sure we all have seen these many different news commentators in some sort of way for instance a spoof of that commentator, an epic rap battle of that commentator, or just actually watch that commentator. Either way I'm sure you have seen half of the crap they are being paid to say. For example lets take a look at Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly says that Obama is going about this ISIS completely wrong, he says that Obama doesn’t know what he is doing and is scared to fight. Currently President Obama is sending drones to bomb ISIS targets and has also sent military advisors to Iraq to train Iraq's soldiers to fight ISIS. Bill want to send a declaration of war against ISIS, are you friggin kidding me WAR!.. I think the last thing anyone (Except Bill O'Reilly) wants is to go to war, but wait theirs more. Bill want to also go to war with Russia what the fuuu... Might as well bury our selves now. War with Russia will end bad for everyone, might as well sign the planet over to the cockroaches now because they will be the only living thing left after the nuclear holocaust. Obama has already done a lot to Russia with out a world war. For example Obama and almost other countries have placed sanctions against Russia which with out going into to much detail mean a big FU to Russia. Now when people ask me "hey Shawn do you watch Bill O'Reilly." I would say "Oh Bill O'Reilly that old dude who wants us all to die in a fiery explosion nope haven't watch him lately."  The problem I see with Bill O'Reilly is that he is only seeing one side of the situation. He sees that is the United States goes to war that everything will be alright. If the United States goes to war with Russia it would be the cold war allover again. At least we can make another X-men movie around it. So in conclusion the only reason I can see for why people like this have their own show on T.V. is so they can stop complaining about real news, and from know on I know not to get my world news information from these new commentators.  

What the **** is on TV

You get home after a hard day of school/work you sit down turn on the TV and what do you see? TV shows like Teen mom, Jersey shore, here comes honey boo boo, keeping up with the Kardashians and other overly hyped shows with mentally deranged cast. You might ask yourself what the **** has happened to TV. All TV now is made up of dating shows like dating naked, the bachelor, who want to marry a millionaire (which ended in a domestic violence case, guess that happens when you’re on a dating show), TV are also made up of shows that follow family’s like the keeping up with the Kardashian(the reason why people watch that show is to see Kims butt, well the men do at least), here comes honey boo boo (which is a disgrace to TV and I have no fringing clue why that show was even aired) and dancing moms which the only reason to watch is to see the moms kill each other (no one was actually killed in the show I think). All TV shows are these days are about people’s problems and fights hell if I watch these shows I would want to see a fist fight or two to get passed the bs of the other twenty minutes of the show, or their just sheer stupidity shows that are just made because no one can think of a something worth watching and making them to just fill a time slot (*Cough* *Cough* honey boo boo). Now you might ask yourself wait what would my kid do if he/she watches this stuff, they might go and get a spray tan or a truck load of hairspray and go fist pump at the club, because we know that kids do anything they see on TV. Please just make sure your kids don’t watch jackass and end up with a toy car shoved up their butts, that’s the last thing you want to here is “MOM I have a car in my butt vroom vroom”. So as you can see are full of junk that should never be aired, but before I go I just had to ask this question? Do you remember when MTV aired Music videos, Naw me neither I just wanted a good laugh.

What are newspapers?

  

 Let me ask you something? When was the last time you picked up a newspaper and read it? Some of you might think “Wait what the hell you can read a newspaper, I thought it was there to make paper Mache sculptures.” For those who never knew about newspapers they’re different types of papers, such as Local, Regional, and National Paper.  Local newspapers such as the Dundalk eagle are basically the things no one cares about going on around them, such as who’s marrying who, find this random person to win a gift card contest, and people who are just trying to get rid of old junk. Regional papers such as the Baltimore sun write about who got shot this week, how a Chinese snail lead to a fumigations in the port, and how Maryland is ranked the 15^th happiest state in the country. Now National newspapers is a bigger picture writing about both national and world news. National papers include the New York Times and U.S.A. today. These papers write about “PETA urges vegan diet for alleged cannibal killer”, “Did Obama serve up a coffee cup-salute snafu to Marines?” and different terrorist plots and attacks in the world. Now as everyone expected Newspapers are dying (queue Da Da Daaaa sound clip.) In 2003 the newspaper ad revenue was $46,156 and in 2011 newspaper ad revenue was $23,941.

Now the part the newspapers fear the most which newspaper will die first (queue Da Da Daaa soundclip again). In my nonprofessional opinion the paper I believe will die first (Drumroll please) the local newspapers. I believe the local papers will die first because they have a smaller limited audience, now a days if you want local news all you have to do is check social media or talk to the old neighbor who sits on their porch all day. The newspaper I believe will last the longest is the U.S.A. today because it as a bigger average circulation compared to the New York Times by 600,000 in 2011, but either way the physical copy of the newspaper is declining and probably in the year 2020 everyone might read the news on our Google glasses or a smart watch.

"Magazines"

Now imagine that you are walking to the checkout isle in your grocery store, and you look over to the magazine rack. You would expect to see cooking, health, or how to build a bird house magazines, but when your eyes glance over all you see is how to make you sex life better, how to look thin as a supermodel, weird and random headlines such as “This Is Why Starbucks Employees Misspell Your Name All The Time”, and a whole bunch of useless celebrity gossip mumbo gumbo such as “What Does Anna Wintour Eat For Breakfast? And Other Fascinating Discoveries about Vogue's Editor-in-Chief” now that is real news....no just kidding. The problem with them is these “magazines” are that their open for the whole world and beyond to see them, next thing you know a ten year old is asking “What is sex mommy” which is the last thing you want a ten year old asking, and giving them ideas that being healthy is to not eating anything and having a paper thin body like the ones on “magazines”. The only reason that people read them is because they have too much time on their hands. I think that these “magazines” should not be in the front of a store where anyone and their mother can see it and should be placed in the far back and darkest corner of the store under, and be replaced with helpful magazines such as how to be healthy (The non-paper thin edition) and how to have a successful and happy in life. So I hope you can see my view point on these “magazines” are complete rubbish and should be replaced with magazines that have a positive propose and actually help people do something useful such as, How to pay for college and not having to sell an arm and a leg.
