It's similar to the situation at Deviant art. All it takes to become popular is to post a KAWAII version of popular characters(ie, trace over an anime frame) and fan girls will go AWWWWWWMEeewWW!!!

While stuff that actually takes a LOT of effort to make gets ignored or left to fringe groups.

It's gotten slightly better, but easy to digest stuff usually wins out. And Nothing is easier to digest than pre-processed "In your face" dick jokes.

Pretty much. Half of DA just wants to leave now, it's becoming a shit pit essentially.
Even photography is disgusting. It goes from "Oh I worked hard to get this shot right" to "look I bought a new DSLR camera, weee I'm so good" or, worse, they slap on those after effect 'sets' people put out. It's not real art, it's a sad, desperate imitation of it. I'm all for 'art is up for intepretation' and blah blah, but it's just not in this case (for me at least).
I'm quite a frustrated person about these things. ._.

About the 'lets play' thing, I can easily extend my opinion on that to youtube as a whole. People worship these people who make videos like they're gods. And sure, have someone to look up to, have an idol, I sure as hell have celebrities I'd like to meet and 'become' like, but just the crazy level of fangirling and "fan defence" (when they go rabid animal on someone who thinks different) is just absolutely crazy. These people they follow are just average people behind cameras in their homes (usually) vlogging, or otherwise just talk about the most shallow, missguided topics ever. Though the fans just eat that up, clearly. Simple, basic, sheep-mentality sells.
I'm like, do you live to just follow anyone remotely likeable or famous? Where did you misplace your sense of self and respect?

But that's enough out of me. I could go on for days.
