At first glance, these two concepts seem to live on opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum. One evokes images of Criterion Collection dives, nuanced performances, and thematic density; the other brings to mind viral trends, high-energy edits, and massive subscriber counts. But for the modern creator and discerning viewer, the intersection of a and popular videos represents the holy grail of digital media.
