Flickr tends to feel like a community broadly supportive of peoples creativity. Youtube does not. It’s a great pity that youtube isn’t more like flickr.

If the past and present is anything to go by, 'however they want', I'd expect. I've watched some young people watching music videos on YouTube, and I'd consider 3 minutes to already be well outside their attention span, let alone 10 minutes. :-) No, I don’t (yet?) have any thoughts about how teenagers will or should consume media.

I was talking to a colleague recently, who told me that by far the majority of his internet traffic is the YouTube videos that his children (both aged around 10) watch. Apparently they aren't interested in TV, and would much rather watch YouTube. I find that both exciting and worrying. Exciting because youtube changes massively opens up media content providing to a wider arrange of amateurs than before, and worrying because youtube stops you from uploading content longer than 10 minutes long. I don't want to end up in a world where the maximum attention span is 10 minutes. Now, have you got any thoughts on how teenagers *should* or *will* consume media? Good article.
