What is YouTube?

We firmly believe that everyone should have the right to freely express themselves, share ideas, and participate in meaningful discussions, as these creative freedoms lead to a rich tapestry of diverse voices, innovative expressions, and limitless opportunities. Moreover, we maintain that information should be easily accessible to everyone, with video playing a crucial role in education, fostering understanding, and documenting both significant and subtle global occurrences. It is our conviction that every individual should have the chance to gain recognition, build their own ventures, and find success on their own terms, highlighting that it is the people, not gatekeepers, who should decide what resonates with the wider audience. In addition, we support the idea of forming connections with nurturing communities, breaking down barriers, and coming together across borders through shared interests and passions. Furthermore, we invite you to explore the myriad of opportunities available with YouTube for Business, allowing you to leverage the powerful advantages of YouTube Ads to enhance your brand's visibility and reach.

    The sheer amount of words you cannot say, is ridiculous.

    Date: Feb 21 2023
    Summary

    It's not even worth it. You have to pay to avoid ads (never used to be a thing, YouTube didn't even have ads). As a creator if you are making a crime documentaries you need to censor words for the "protection of others" e.g. the word "abuse", and so forth. It's and over-the-top, padded-wall, safe-space for people who cannot handle words.

    Positive

    Used to have pros. No ads, nothing mainstream, it was YOUtube not Corporatetube; like it actually is now.

    Negative

    Freedom of thought is not permitted. Everything is manipulated by the algorithm and various forms of censorship. Likes and dislikes aren't even recorded accurately. That type of code is as basic as it gets, to make the counter miscount, one would have to add more code, making this move clearly intentional.

    PoorTube

    Date: Jul 12 2021
    Summary

    In English it would be classed as a swear word to describe YouTube. Finding another video platform is a nightmare, as they have all become corporate whores, and the censorship, even when marked adult, is mind bogglingly lunatic, at best.

    Positive

    YouTube has an extensive monopoly over the world. It is very welcoming... at first, then, if you have an opinion you will lose your channel very, very fast.

    Negative

    I didn't like the way YouTube is now the law in all things, even though they won't specify any problems they may say they are finding, other than generic. So, it becomes impossible to 'fix' content before they have completely banned the channel.

    Youtube is one of the most consumed and influential applications on internet. It is quite easy and entertaining if one can find the right content. Advertisements can become a headache if one wants a continuous experience, there are a lot of adblocking sites available on the internet today, but if one wants to watch content on mobile you cannot use the adblockers.

    (+) Video quality and navigation of the website are very good.
    (+) Can handle a lot of loads simultaneously, crashes very rarely.
    (+) Monetization of the content is very good, one may earn good amount of money on youtube.
    (+) Zero tolerance policy on abusive and R rated content is very good.

    Negative

    (-) Ads can be very irritating.
    (-) The recommendations are quite useless in some cases, can be more constructive.
    (-) Premium is quite heavy on the pricing note.

    YouTube is easy to use

    Date: May 23 2020
    Summary

    YouTube is a great platform to reach a large audience, however I would advise using something else if you have a lower budget for production.

    Positive

    Youtube is a part of Google AdWords, so it is very easy to use and is already an integral part of your advertising if you use google.

    Negative

    In order to have good quality videos on youtube it requires good production value therefore a substantial production budget you may want to go through other channels.

    One of the best applications

    Updated: Nov 30 2020
    Summary

    This is one of the best application which I am using from a long time, it is a versatile application whether you are having a doubt related to your, or want to relax your mind you can use this application.

    Positive

    Firstly it is really very easy to use, having a very clean interface so that anyone can handle it easily.
    It's really useful for students, in this application you will get lots of videos for any type of query related to your course/topic.
    This application also is a great source of entertainment it has movies, songs, and documentary short films.
    The best thing about this application is anyone can upload their own content on this app, and it can be watched world wide.
    This application is very secure for its users if anyone tries to copy your content there is a provision for content claiming which keeps your content secure.

    Negative

    The biggest draw back about this application is ,advertisements before every video for certain time period which you can't skip, and that is so irritating.
    Because it is a very wide platform there are hundreds of solution for a simple query which is quite confusing sometimes.
