    I am the father of Douglas Hersh, and a retired Filmmaker. I have a major gripe with the points Dr. Hersh makes in this edition of Pedagogy 2.0. My complaint? He is absolutely right.
    After spending my entire professional life creating motion pictures and being considered one of, arguably, not too many who could do it competently, I now come face to face with YouTube. Here, again, we find a graphic example of many attempting to serve with relatively few doing so successfully. But, oh! The numerical size of the few! And their talent and ability!!! If only half of those who deserve it, based upon their submissions, find the recognition due them, they will put my small fraternity to shame.
    So, more concisely put, my complaint is neither against Dr. Hersh nor YouTube. My grumble is, YouTube, where were you when I needed you? Why were you not yet there when I was coming up?
