The year 1910 was the first time Hollywood became a site for filming movies. Decades since people have flocked there by the thousands to be stars, or at least to be in the movies. In 1947 Hollywood branched out into television. Hollywood, like no other city in the world, dominates the entertainment industry.
Youtube may be the new Hollywood. I was surprised to learn this morning via reddit.com, that Youtube pays people who post high volume videos.
A couple weeks ago I read that the writers strike was prompting many writers to bypass Hollywood and go directly to the internet. I had not realized that many people were already making thousands of dollars via Youtube.
We live in interesting times.
