Video podcasts were huge over a decade ago but YouTube made it cheaper and easier for people.

I was a huge fan of twit.tv back in the day until it became about nothing but phones. 

 Problem is you've got centralized places like Pootube that'll handle the streaming and hosting of videos (at low quality, of course, but FREE) with a simple click or drag n' drop while RSS requires figuring it out on your own. Turns out, that's  a big barrier for people lol 

 Yeah this is true. I feel bad for people who think 1080p on YT is 1080p for real. Compared to a decent blu ray, especially the audio is superior.
