Ep22 Sold Out (On Topic)

Quick warning-- on its initial upload to Blip.tv, this was the episode where I did not click "disable advertising on this episode," so it originally had an ad preceding the episode. I eventually learned that disabling advertising did nothing-- ads were attached to my videos regardless-- but I didn't notice for a long time because AdBlock Plus is a wonderful thing.


Lobbing accusations of "selling out" is a popular pastime, especially on the internet... but what's that accusation actually implying? Radio's fading, labels are faltering, and it's been decades since mTv's played videos, there's hardly anyone left to sell out to in the first place. As everyone just tries to rise above the din of everyone else's homemade recordings on the wide-open internet, "selling out" has less to do with a record deal and more with basic, personal ethics (which are hard to judge from a distance, especially about people you've never met.)
