Just looking at youtube alone: MTV was huge in the 80's, because it played music. In the 90's it switched to "other" types of programming and died. VH-1 kept going with music right up until they ate their own shit as well.
If broadcast/cable dedicated a channel to playing music, it would have been popular. But, of course, they were actively destroying the music industry at the same time.
Youtube allows bypassing all of that, as any music can be put up, including Joe Blow giving lessons on how to play the accordion. The breadth surpasses anything they could ever dream of putting out there as the small-timers can upload anything.
My big question regarding youtube; there's no way that site is making any money. What happens when the group that owns it decides to take it down? Ignoring the music availability and touching on the training videos; people have become dependent upon knowing that a detailed walkthrough is available right-now on anything they can imagine.
