He addresses the problems he sees within the YouTube community, and his biggest complaint is that people with low numbers of subscribers have a difficult time getting exposure on YouTube. His video has sparked an enormous discussion and 242 video responses have been uploaded so far.
In one of those response videos, finchiphile made a suggestion to start a Tumblr page where people can submit interesting content from new vloggers or vloggers who do not have a huge subscriber base. The hopes are to kickstart the YouTube community, have video conversations, and share the fun of making videos.
Regardless of what you think of the points Andrew made in his video, this Tumblr page that came out of the conversation is a neat idea. The page is a good place to find little-known YouTubers, and anyone can submit videos they think deserve more attention.
I've watched several of the video responses, so I don't remember who said YouTube has to cater to the masses in order to survive, but that's true. At least the people who are interested in the community aspect have a way to find each other on Tumblr.
