>He's not disputing this point. His point is that YouTube, in an of itself, would not have made either of those people the dramatic successes they are today

I agree, but that's not my point. The only reason why they were discovered by labels is because of YouTube. He's absolutely right, they wouldn't be on world tours solely from YouTube, but they also wouldn't be going on them if it weren't for YouTube in the first place.
