Today, I learned about "MrBeast", reported in Numlock News to be the most popular presence on YouTube, with 3 million followers. MrBeast is 26 years old. I usually stay away from YouTube, which I have read is the most popular item on the internet. I read that MrBeast wants to switch his available material to a streaming service.
Most of the time that I was growing up, I made use of the Baltimore Enoch Pratt public libraries. When I go into that sort of library, I get the same impression as I get from this picture of the Long Room at Trinity College in Dublin:
An impression of endless choices, not consumable in a lifetime, riches beyond imaging. That is also what one gets with modern tv streaming: everything there just waiting to be viewed. I can see why MrBeast wants to stream. Make 2 or 3 tapes a day and put them on streaming, where they can be viewed repeatedly and simultaneously have more days when there is no need to be at the studio and be viewed.
