Basically why does it seem like most people here and on other websites hate youtube so much? I really like using youtube, personally.
yes exposure, and just crappy performances. with youtube we get tons of kids just trying to up their subscribers and viewers just by doing lots of crap magic without any real practice or thought put into what they do. also the exposure is CRAZY REDIC. just search any trick exposed and you'll find a little kid with some hat on showing you how to do this and their crappy DL they have been working on for the last 5 days during school. There are great things about youtube, like performance videos (check out lee ashers site for a whole bunch of great performances) and some good tips and tricks from other magicians, but we are getting over loaded by David J Castles and we as a magic community shouldnt be doing this for fame or fortune, we should be doing magic for the art and the fun and passion. if we were more into the art of performance and entertainment, then fame will come our way to those who deserve it.
If we ever hate on youtube, that is why
