You do understand that’s like saying you look down on television as a medium, or magazines as a medium, correct?

Television and magazines are far more general. Television as a medium could be compared to Web as a medium. YT could be compared to a specific TV channel.

…Yeah, that falls apart when you consider YT is full of specific channels. That’s why I specifically compared it to TV. It’s far closer to cable than a single channel.

This is an absurd argument to make.
