You Tube: a Parallel Universe

Views. Creators. Subscribers. Vlogs. The SNF Dialogues discuss YouTube, and its transformation into the largest video platform in the world. What is the current state of affairs for content creators and viewers? How do changes to the platform affect the content that users upload, and how do YouTube’s algorithms drive its evolution?
