In the Open TV article, Christian briefly mentions The Streamy awards, and it seemed appropriate to share a debacle that went down at this year's ceremony. A guest presenter, actor Adam Pally, went off script and completely trashed the awards and their purpose. Eventually his microphone was cut off and he was taken offstage; but I found it both funny and fascinating to watch someone involved in what could be considered "traditional" media channels be so direct and incisive in laying out the many issues surrounding online media content (it is also important to consider the fact that he was asked to announce the award for "Brands with the best year-long presence on Instagram") (Which is just....why)
It makes me think about the main arguments against these new forms of media, and the sort of judgements passed on them (warranted or not).
