The user-friendly interface and personalized recommendations make it easy to discover new content. I also appreciate the diverse community of creators and the ability to interact through comments and likes

Top Critical Review

“Youtube has become garbage”

Rob C.
3/19/24

Too many advertisements in front of the videos in recent weeks. Additionally, I'm tired of this platform blurring out sections of a video like a war documentary. Its history. STOP BLURRING IT OUT. I wish creators would start switching to Rumble. They have 1080p videos now and no blurring, very little censorship. Youtube has become trash.

I have never personally had a YouTube Channel, so my opinion may be skewed, but in my experience, YouTube is a fabulous platform, full of creativity, and incredibly useful. As any platform, however, there are issues. I have here a list of pros and cons, I hope they prove useful.

Pros:
- The ability to find almost anything you need to learn about
- The ability to post almost any of your creative desires, urges, and activities easily.
- A pretty good system for getting rid of illegal content. (I'm talking generally, you won't find videos with illegal activity on your homepage, unless you...search for it.)
- Pretty good UI, with a simple to understand setup and organization.
There are inevitably others, but I am giving general lists here.
Cons:
- Spam. Unless it is super bad, most spam/hate videos will get through. As a platform for sharing opinions and such, YouTube allows strong opinions. Both good and bad.
- Moderation. I am not hating on YouTube Mods. They have a lot on their plate, and will not be able to look deeply into each and every problem they are shown. This can lead to quick decisions that may not be the best option.
- Comments. There are hateful people on the internet, and the comment section is a toxic keyboard warrior's favorite battleground. Comments can build up a small creator, or cause them to leave completely. Comments are tough man.

Overall, YouTube is a pretty helpful site, but it has issues that could use help. However, I do like YouTube, and I will continue to use it.

[Images: Screenshots by me of some examples of ease of access. If I want to learn Music or Color Theory, all I do it look it up and there you go, exactly what I need.

Tip for consumers:
YouTube is useful, don't let some bad content scare you away.

Products used:
I just watch YouTube videos.

Hi, my name's Leo, I've been using YouTube for almost ten years now and it's clear to see why the website has the reputation it does, with all that it has accomplished, and can continue doing in the future. It has probably got to be the greatest video sharing website right now because of the gargantuan amount of versatile content available to almost anyone, potential for different career opportunities, it's business and educational practicalities. The website has also accumulated a strong sense of community that can be seen in each video's comment section, collaborations between YouTubers and interactions with fans on the website. I use YouTube for almost everything from learning how to play guitar, help with school or watching entertaining content from creators such as PewDiePie. It's also the app I use the most on my phone.

This app is fantastic for cooking, schooling, and many more things to learn. It was the strongest time-pass ever in this pandemic. I've been to many more comedies, jokes, cooking classes. And learned a lot as well.

Hats off to YouTube for making the best video captions I have ever seen in a video with the captions being exactly correct for a Japanese name. Overall good experience but some UI adjustments are needed. For example, I don't like the small video player when you are watching a video and searching at the same time. I think in that instance you should have almost half the screen be video because you have a lot of white in between words for video and screen. Besides that, I think this is a great platform to share ideas with the world.

Tip for consumers:
MUST want to watch videos to even care about using this website.

YouTube is a (mostly) free video sharing platform, which can be used in the app form or as a website. You can post your own videos, or you can watch any of the millions of other videos available. There are many different types of videos to watch ranging from news to educational content to videogame playthroughs to logic puzzles to videos of the fencing world championships. While YouTube is a great source of entertainment and information, we should be careful lest the near infinite number of videos keep us watching far longer than we should be. We should balance our time so that we don't become addicted. While there are quite a few people who are not concerned with making high-quality videos, many of the video creators on YouTube produce content that is quite skillfully developed; the sound, video, and editing quality are quite good. Additionally, these videos can be inspiring and give us the motivation to become better. One reason that we are drawn to certain videos here is that they can be crafted in a way that really connects with us and seems relatable.
But just like most social media sites, every video is crafted with some kind of message, whether directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally. These messages can be a simple Minecraft video showing us that Minecraft is fun or a video made specifically to tell us why we should try fencing. Some of these messages will contain truth, and others will contain lies. While many people post good videos (example: fencing analysis videos), there are some creators whose videos make fun of people do not respect the dignity of others (example: "funny fails" types of videos); the message they send is that it is alright to make fun of others, and this is not correct. Another kind of message that appears on YouTube is advertising. While ads are a way for people to make money, they are also very annoying to watch. As many of the people here have been saying, ads have become longer and more frequent on YouTube lately which greatly disrupts the videos. Advertisements' messages are much more direct and more prone to deception and lies. We should be aware of all these messages and sort the truth from the lies, not letting the views and popularity of a video tell us what messages are good or bad. Like many sites, YouTube is a tool that can be used in great ways or terrible ways, and we should make sure that we use this tool in a way that is truthful and respectful to others.

YouTube is a solid site with a lot of videos on it. There's likely something for everyone. I tend to watch a lot of learning channels more than anything else, but it's an excellent way to pass some time if you're bored. I wouldn't recommend spending your entire day there, though. Remember, we should live life vicariously through the internet.

YouTube, the world's leading video-sharing platform, has become an integral part of our digital lives for several compelling reasons. It offers an extensive range of content, making it a global hub for both entertainment and education, catering to diverse tastes and interests.

Entertainment Variety:
YouTube excels as an entertainment platform, offering a wide array of content, including music videos, comedy sketches, short films, vlogs, gaming streams, dance performances, and much more. Whatever your mood or interests, YouTube has something captivating to offer. Its personalized recommendations ensure an engaging and immersive entertainment experience.

Education and Learning Opportunities:
Beyond entertainment, YouTube has emerged as an invaluable educational resource. Content creators on the platform provide insightful tutorials, educational lectures, and in-depth discussions on various subjects. Whether you want to learn a new language, master a musical instrument, or explore complex topics, YouTube facilitates self-learning and knowledge acquisition from the comfort of your home.

Community Interaction:
YouTube's vibrant community of creators and viewers plays a central role in the platform's appeal. The comments section enables discussions and interactions between users and content creators, fostering a sense of connection that transcends geographical boundaries. Live chats during premieres and streams further enhance the feeling of being part of a global community.

Support for Creators:
YouTube's Partner Program allows content creators to monetize their videos through ad revenue and channel memberships. This has attracted talented individuals, giving rise to a community of full-time YouTubers who can sustain themselves doing what they love. While the program has faced criticism and challenges, it remains a crucial support system for creators and encourages creativity.

User-Friendly Interface:
YouTube's user interface is intuitive and accessible, ensuring a seamless browsing experience on various devices. Whether you're using a computer, smartphone, or smart TV, YouTube is optimized for easy navigation and viewing. The offline feature allows users to download videos, especially helpful in areas with limited internet connectivity.

Content Moderation and Responsibility:
YouTube has faced some controversies related to content moderation, misinformation, and inappropriate material, especially targeted at young audiences. While the platform continues to improve content moderation mechanisms, striking a balance between free expression and responsible content curation remains an ongoing challenge.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, YouTube stands as a cultural and digital phenomenon, offering a global platform for entertainment, learning, and community engagement. It has made an indelible impact on popular culture and the way we consume information. As users, it is essential to approach YouTube with discernment and embrace the diverse opportunities it provides for entertainment, education, and connection with the world.

I'm on you tube all the time. It's got some great producers in the things I like watching, and there is some useful educational material.
The ads are annoying, since they interrupt the viewing, and are never interesting.
I like the way the site seems to feed me with new videos, and a lot of it isn't wrong. There's some Junk on there too, not always linked to the number of likes or views. But that's the downside of the web. Mostly it's very positive. I don't need a TV anymore.

YouTube is filled with all different types of content, and when it comes to entertainments It kind of doing fine, but when it comes to educational content or informational ones they should have a better filtering system, as whenever I try to find something informational on YouTube and I search for it on English, somehow there is always a chance of 40 percent of the videos would be on one of the languages that are related to India, and only the title would be on English. And I don't think it would be that hard for YouTube to filter these kid of content. So we won't have to keep guessing which video is on English

Tip for consumers:
If you are bothered by the none English content under English title, you can try and write the word English after your query at least this way you have a higher chance of avoiding these bothersome videos.
