The question is: will TV always be the pinnacle of fame? We know YouTube will eventually roll out revenue sharing ala Metacafe or Revver, and with the audiences these users command, they may be able to go full time with their YouTube stardom.
What's more, a Harris poll this week says that 32% of frequent YouTube users say they watch less TV as a result of their YouTube time - as the online audience shuns TV, and YouTube begins to pay users, the tables may eventually turn. That said, the YouTube audience is still a tiny fraction of the total TV audience: I give it at least a year before we see any TV stars moving full time to YouTube, rather than the other way around.
