    Welcome to the world where everyone can do it! The idea was, if i remember correctly, that everyone;s access to the means of production (cheap photo cameras) would produce work that is outside of the normal of establishment - work that is unique and original presenting a personal point of view but as it turned out it simply shows how lame and average majority of people are.

    Moreover as the definer of quality was taken out of hands of professionals and editors and put in hands of the public (with their votes and view counts) the quality suffered even more as the most generic and lowest-common-denominator work was prized by the "masses" who really have no clue.

    (BTW this is true of EVERY creative medium)
