The site allows you to broadcast whatever you're doing to an online audience. Most musicians that actually play musical instruments are mediocre and one or two stand out. But >95% of the site's users broadcast themselves sleeping, eating, singing terribly, dancing stupidly (one couple was actually good at balet), and sitting there shirtless if they're in good shape. Some even have big beards and include that in their online pseudonym.

Is this seriously what young people are now doing in their spare time? I am shocked. And there are no words to describe my feelings towards these narcisstic time wasters.

What is even more shocking is that there is an audience for those who post on YouNow.

I've decided to see for myself and I also couldn't believe it. It should be called Look At Me, instead.
