Have online videos lowered the standards of television production?

Personally i dont think that domestic productions have lowered the standards of television production, in actual fact i think its makes professional videos more popular. The reason i say this is because if people like a song, then they do their own version and put it on places such as Youtube.
This then gives off good vibes for that artist and more people will be willing to go and view the real thing. In some ways, i think that these domestic videos are almost like a portal. If you can imagine that the domestic video is the biginning of the portal and at the other end there is the professional video, and inbetween theres all the videos that people have done at home or in groups together. Most of the time if you are to put in an artists name into somewhere such as Youtube, most of the time the results show one professional video and the rest are all domestic. My conclusion to this is that i believe even though people create versions of a video, spoofs or even re-makes the quality is never as good and it also helps promote the video is some ways.
