Blog #6- EOTO Project - YouTube

 

    YouTube is today one of the largest film sharing/uploading platforms in the world with billions of watchers/viewers/contact creators. YouTube was created in 2005 by 3 guys. Steven Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. The first idea for the platform of YouTube was when the founders were at a dinner party and they wanted to create something to share videos online and expire them to develop a friendly platform to use and upload videos. It also was made as a video dating online service for people to introduce themselves and to describe what they were looking for and a partner. 

    A big factor about YouTube  being created is the creators  were really frustrated since there was no simple way to upload/share videos in an easy way. So they created a platform to do so. YouTube has significantly changed our world today. With creating, making, and uploading content. There are so many factors that go into how YouTube changed our world by showing different ways. People could have platforms to share their videos regarding what their background is to show creator‘s content and how it’s influencing people to have careers in that field or just to reach their audience. There’s so many educational resources on YouTube with tutorials, lectures, how to make certain things, anything you possibly need an educational resource for it will be on YouTube. Another aspect is that it changes in our world with entertainment, advertising, and marketing different things. People could show all their different marketing techniques and how they Collab with different Youtubers with different brands and how it reaches certain audiences to give them a significant part of a digital marketing.

    

Although all the good significant life-changing factors that YouTube brings, there’s also a lot of negative factors back in the day when YouTube was first created that a lot of people didn’t like users would be able to post, share, and view content without restriction so basically anyone could see anything and post whatever because there wasn’t a restriction guide back in the day when it was first made. Children can also view videos that would be maybe considered strange, explicit words, or maybe even sexual content. Because at the time there was no restriction guide. Also other factors that were big problems were YouTube is trying to provide a platform where anyone could upload a video and watch contact without barriers or cost because now since there’s so many restrictions with copyright in all of that, people are making money back in the day off of that and they were stealing other people‘s content without barriers or restriction.

    YouTube has a huge impact on the world by connecting people all over the world and giving them a voice. YouTube changed the world by giving so many people different outlets to connect over each other’s videos, but also giving them a way to make money by doing certain stuff they love. It was an easy way for people to upload, share videos to reach other people around the world could build different communities by sharing interest, but also connecting with each other with something they both love.
