“YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.” Do you agree?

I agree that Youtube has no ethics and that it has been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.


Youtube is a site whereby people can upload any videos or download any videos for the sake of entertainment. As a result, people tend to take advantage of this and uploaded videos from VCDs and song albums. This is indeed an evidence of youtube not having any ethics. People now get to watch all these shows for free. So who will want to fork out money if there was a Free-Of-Charge deal. Now, the poor actors would have to be paid lesser, since the entertainment industry is unable to generate sales. This has infringed the Law of Copyrights and it is actually an illegal stuff. But what has Youtube done, regarding this matter? To protect their own interest, they chose to be ignorant about this issue.

Youtube do not have much restrictions regarding on the type of videos that were uploaded. This is do that they can have more people visit their website and so more commercialists would want to pay money to have their advertisements up on Youtube. Recently, it was reported in BBC’S NEWS-- Thailand blocks access to YouTube which was considered insulting to him. Youtube did not remove the video upon request as this is conflicting with their interest. But didn’t they even think of how the King of Thailand felt when he know of this insulting videos.

Also, youtube seems irresponsible regarding the content of the videos. There was an article, “Is YouTube just what the doctor ordered?” , dated 2nd jan 2007. This might not be an accurate piece of information, and following these wrong insturctions might lead to deadly consequnces. Imagine someone who watched this video, asked their friends to view and so on, followed these wrong instructions and informations might cause harm to their body.

All in all, I agree that Youtube has no ethnics and that it should be more responsible for all videos uploaded. This is the minimum effort that they have to put in, in order to be fair to those patronising Youtube.

The fact that you are dependent on one source of information for your news is a concern. Why?
