Youtube's Good and Evil Side

YouTube was created in February 14, 2005 and has been able to become one of the most successful websites on the Internet by having many videos uploaded and the billions of view the site gets every day. But with such good aspects of it, there's always consequences with such "power" that can be acquired from such a site. What YouTube has done incorrectly is that the site doesn't really do anything when a user has been able to upload copyrighted content up to their channel such as movies, TV series, ads, or music videos. Sometimes when someone is blamed and caught for uploading inappropriate or copyrighted, the user is, most of the time, innocent! One of the most revolting features of YouTube are the comments that user can enable when he/she uploads a video. Theses comments are notorious and YouTube "harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom. Some of the comments on YouTube are "make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred" as said by Time magazine in 2006. The site does have good in it since it has made it easy to upload and share videos among friends and family through out YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or any other sites. It also gives the opportunity to average people with talents to get recognized and sometimes end up having a partnership, especially in gaming since, for example, Machinima is the largest gaming community channel that is fueled by many of the most entertaining gamers in the world. So, in the opinion of many people, YouTube is simultaneously the worst and best thing to happened to the Internet.
