I’ve added a new site, which is a simple portfolio for a makeup artist, and it looks like this:

Cyberspace, the Information Super Highway, the Net - has never had an even distribution between quality and totally incurious content. There has always been more porn sites than news and dictionary sites (no statistical data present), and ever since people in the 90s learned how to “code” their own HTML, the Web began to flood with Under Construction signs, annoying GIF animations, recipies of their favoruite bakery and photos of their friends, babies, and dogs.

Luckily it wasn’t that easy to learn HTML, let alone send it away on the Information Highway (Garbage Truck), so most content was kept in chat rooms or in peoples livingrooms. Though the fact that it was hard gave birth to a nation of design monstrosities (the GIF animations etc as noted above)

Now, Web 2.0 is here (no shit, Sherlock)! Web 2.0 gives us worlds of oppertunities to let anyone share and post their content on the Internet. It’s so easy, and it goes so fast. Numerous blogs pop up from anywhere in hope that anyone is interested at all in the author’s life and thoughts. Take this blog, for instance, do you think that I have more than two visitors every other week? Why do I keep posting? I don’t know! Web 2.0 is like Pringles, you just can’t stop the diarrea.

As it wasn’t enough that people start word pooping all over the place, Youtube came up with this amazing idea to let people post their own videos too, so you can see them! Yes, you can see people through their worthless equipment they call cameras. You can see them crying over nothing, you can see them talking about what they’ve done in the day, you can see home movies of plastic bags whirling in the wind. And if one person uploads an interesting, let’s say movie trailer - then 20 other people want to do that too!

Seriously, why do people upload this content? Is it that fun to make a fool out of oneself? Is it that fun to watch youtube every single day? When I watch one movie, why do I have to click on one of the small thumbnails to ruin the moment and see a worthless video reply? I am stuck in my seat, I post in my blog, I watch films on youtube sometimes (all roads lead to youtube?), but I can’t say what I usually hear:

Youtube is great! You can find anything there!

The reason that Youtube ISN’T great is BECAUSE you can find anything there! Away with the video blogs (keep them in your own blogs), away with your wortless attempts to show how sexy you are, and then this might be a good library for media.

But until then, I can’t be fooled. I see through you, Youtube.
