Let's plays

Let's plays are highly entertaining. They've emerged all over the gaming community and many of the top subscribed channels on youtube do let's plays. Some channels become famous because they play certain games in an interesting way or have certain types of commentary. Do you think Let's Plays is becoming an emerging art form? Just like how games nowadays can be treated as art, will Let's Plays in the future also gain artistic recognition?

How do you think people get into the games industry nowadays? Do they just have to get themselves noticed by working on a lot of projects and being an indie dev?
