i'm just trying to clarify a few things for my own understanding.

1. i think i have maybe figured out a part of the entertainment/art question. if a piece is created strictly for the creative flow of it, that's art. if something is created strictly to be seen/heard by people you don't even know, that's entertainment. then there's the grey area between. like everything else in this cosmos, it's a spectrum.

2. i've been observing myself through this experiment and it's the craziest thing. there are times where i am so consumed by the game of getting views and subscribers that i forget i'm doing this to understand what's happening with kids in my classroom. it's a little frightening. and youtube is a mirror of reality in that everyone is looking to make it big (the partner program has created an environment where there is bound to be more entertainment than art) and be famous.
