I found the reference to "Data's Dream" very interesting! I hadn't thought of it as a work "Starships!" was responding to, but "Starships!" wouldn't exist without the tradition of multifandom vids that came before it, and "Data's Dream" is at the root of that tradition. Ces did a wonderful job of tracing lineages/demonstrating evolution and making other connections among the vids she chose to represent vidding as mashup technique, and I think this was on point.

If I were going to change anything about the text, it would be to say "hundreds of thousands of views" instead of "tens" - not even to brag, but to have a slightly more impressive number to show to people unfamiliar with vidding who may think it's a thing that like five people do and ten people watch. Not that "Starships!" is anywhere near the top of vid view counts.
