Blog Assignment "Youtube"
"
YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money." I agree to a large extend. YouTube seems to be a commonly known web for watching videos. Teenagers log on to it to watch the latest movie and watch the latest music video of their favourite artists. When we want to watch some videos, we will just
youtube it.
However,
YouTube is actually a
platform for individuals or groups to make their own videos and share with the public. It is suppose to develope hidden talents but this autority is often taken for granted and abused. They uploaded copyrighted videos and controversial videos that either insulted others or intruded their privacy in a way or another. Among these people, some even created videos that insults world leaders and religions. For example, King Bhumibol Adulyadej was insulted by a 44-second film showing graffiti over the king's face was aired. By doing this, creativity was not practised but a country and a religion was offended. Besides that, its unethical to upload copyrighted videos. By doing that, good products are destroyed as their creativity and hardworks are not paid off. We can just log on to youtube to watch the movie and there is no need to go to cinema to watch a movie. As a result, less quality products are produced as the artists are not motivated to produce.Thus, i think that YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.
