I think the opposite. It allows more people to be creative. Similar to how the DAW allowed more people to become musicians. You can produce a hit song with just a laptop now.
Now you can have people producing videos without needing a crew of people.
You never needed a crew of people to make videos. This is just outsourcing people's creativity.
>I think the opposite. It allows more people to be creative.
Why are you assuming that a majority of people don't already have the means to make videos? Many people have access to a phone, laptop, and stable internet connection. What else do they really need? What's stopping them from using their phones to shoot home movies, making animations with MS Paint, recording themselves talking about a subject they're genuinely interested in, etc.?

This is conflating production values with creativity. Mr. Beast's videos cost millions of dollars to film and produce, yet they're creatively bankrupt.
The potential for harm is so much greater with video than creating an mp3. You can stoke hate and fear so easily.
Or the opposite? all tools are dangerous…
The method in the madness is to generate so much on demand slop no one will accidentally find your hate and FUD content anyway.
It will be found because our politicians will share it.
