In the 1930s, Radio was the New Media.
In the 1950s, Live-Action TV was the New Media.
In the 1980s, Video Games was the New Media.
Now, we're saying Web Original is the New Media... but only if it allows for feedback and audience participation.
This seems like a pointless distinction to me, especially since so many new tropers don't make that distinction at all and simply add all web-based works to Web Original if they don't have specidfic categories (such as Web Comics).
I propose we simply get rid of Category:New Media altogether, merging it into Category:Web Original. In addition to saving ourselves further hassle and confusion, this future-proofs the wiki for when the next new medium comes along. (If the cycle holds, it should be showing up somewhere around 2040.)
