    one is a very entertaining piece of art, and the other is a YouTube video.

    if we live in a world where YouTubers become the main form on entertainment then just please kill me

      well hopefully it gets reality tv shows off normal television, but with Netflix's current reputation of canceling shows people actually like, it might be a race to the bottom all around..

      There are some good YouTubers (BDG, ProZD, Kruggsmash, GMTK, probably a couple more) and I will die on this hill. Do I want YouTube to become the only form of entertainment? No, of course not. But is it a staple in my entertainment diet? Absolutely.

          Ok!

          Some of my favorite YouTube videos, organized by creator:

          --- Brian David Gilbert ---

          This is just a small sampling. Everything he touches is pure gold.

          --- ProZD ---

          Here's a playlist of all his skits. The rest of his channel is fun too, but start by going through whichever skits strike your fancy.

          --- Kruggsmash ---

          Here's one of his more recent, more involved forts, Scorchfountain.

          And here's a recent, less involved fort, Murderhall.

          --- Game Maker's Toolkit ---

          I really like Boss Keys in particular. Here's the playlist.

          https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc38fcMFcV_ul4D6OChdWhsNsYY3NA5B2

          --- Two more creators I totally forgot about until I opened YouTube ---

          -- Viva La Dirt League

          It's all good. I particularly enjoy Souls Logic and also the amazingly well-produced short film they made, Baelin's Route.

          -- Daniel Thrasher

          Again, just a random trio of videos by him I enjoyed. These are definitely not the only good ones.

      Come to think about, YouTube is basically broadcast tv on demand, considering it's mainly supported by ads. This kind of model used to support many great shows. Wonder why the whole "YouTube show" didn't make splash in the same format. Is it Google's money-grubbing ways?
