It's an industry that puts out about 600 products a year and three-quarters are low-budget Indie productions.
Compared to even traditional publshing that puts out on the order of 40,000 titles a year in the US and the UK each.

Joss Whedon comes to mind. Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog. And those were industry *insiders*.
