The question is not whether user-generated content is dead, it's whether it was ever truly alive. The vast megatonnage of blogging and YouTube must inevitably implode into nothingness thanks to its randomness and idleness and lack of authority. It is no accident what few bloggers and video types achieved good fortune with these media had professional backgrounds. It would not hurt us for more to abandon their idiot typing and uploading pastimes, and let people who know what they're doing take over again, though it means the tyranny of hacks who couldn't think straight if the Lord God painted a bold white line before them.
