YouTube is a new media that fosters creativity. YouTube allows anyone from anywhere to share content that may be interesting for others to view. To gain subscribers, YouTubers usually want to be different and stand out which forces them to be creative. According to the paper “YouTube Traffic Characterization: A View From the Edge”, it states “Instead of consuming content posted by a single administrator, users are now able to post their own content and view content posted by their peers.” I myself am a big fan of YouTube because of this. I love the fact that I can find and enjoy relatable content that isn’t on TV.
YouTube has content for everyone . For example, there are many YouTuber's that post vlogs (blogs in video form), comedic skits, pranks, tutorials, DIY's, just to name a few! YouTube has provided us all with content that we wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. I think we can all attest that YouTube is great, but is it better than TV? I will be researching this topic from an economical, technological, and educational perspective. I'll also be discussing about the positive/negative effects and impact YouTube has on society.
