If user content of this sort is so great, then why are 99.9 percent of YouTube videos trash? Even most YT fans agree on most of it being poor when being honest.

I also notice that every example he used happened to be only vaguely funny mashups with little original content or value. The audience didn't even laugh at the first mashup.

Making great art takes a great effort. And quick mashups of other peoples' art isn't that kind of work. User content COULD be great. But so far, it just isn't.

What a waste!!! to use your voice and intelligence to offend logic as well know it!! how miserable you are to mock us.
You vehemently piss me off, you blind fool!

"Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."

Furthermore, this video has a very prominent Christian message, so kindly stfu and stop shooting yourself in the foot, aye? Jesus was a guerilla, a revolutionary, a Che Guevara of ancient times. Guerillas can only come about if they are creatively inclined, man!!
