I start a 4 minute music video, and an hour or so later I’m
finally closing YouTube in my search browser. Oh how I can waste time on YouTube!!!
Youtube is something that is all inclusive and can keep my entertained for
hours. It has music, and videos, and tutorials. It has informative and pure
entertainment purposes. It has TV shows and videos and segments of just about
anything. I mean really, what doesn’t YouTube have??
YouTube is somewhere I typically go for music and laughter.
If I want a good laugh, I’ll go watch a funny YouTube video. I’ve also seen
that YouTube has become a common social tool. When with a group of friends on
the weekend, more often than not, a funny YouTube video will be pulled up for
everyone to watch at some point during the night. Or friends will send you
links to videos and it then becomes the topic of conversation. There is a
YouTube video for just about everything!
I think that there is lots of positive content on YouTube,
it is definitely a time wasting site, but I would say the majority, or most commonly
watched things on YouTube is not harmful content. Like any form of media, there
are negative aspects, but with tutorials and music and funny videos that can
make everyone laugh, what isn’t to love? Trying to use YouTube in moderation is
obviously important, but I think YouTube can be great for fun and informative
tips and entertainment.
I fully understand! I have spend way to much time on youtube but it is always a go to when their is nothing else to talk about with other people. Its a curse and a blessing :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, YouTube is great for free background music! I use it for white noise when I'm studying. I'm glad that we live at such a time as this... a time with YouTube. :)
ReplyDelete"an hour or so later I’m finally closing YouTube in my search browser."- been there, done that! I love YouTube for many of the same reasons you mentioned. Just need to make sure to steer clear of the comment section 99% of the time...
ReplyDeleteI love YouTube! I have been in the same situation as you where I click on one video and then much later and like ten videos later I finally close my browser. I love using Youtube for music, humor and clips of tv shows and movies. It has a lot of great uses and I agree that most of the content is clean.
ReplyDeleteYoutube will always be the death of my husband and I. Hours and hours of mindless watching and clicking and before you know it, it's bed time and zero homework has been done. Strangely addicting :)
ReplyDeleteI love Youtube so much! I honestly would rather sometimes sit and watch Youtube videos than I would a movie. But I completely agree, by the time you are done watching Youtube, you may as well have watched a feature film. Thanks for the post :)
