YouTube Experience

I’ve been using YouTube for some time now; I started using it before the site went big, so I’ve got to see it change from firsthand experience in the course of years.

What I have learned over the period of this course is that YouTube does very good adapting to its community by collecting data from its users. Just about every advertisement on YouTube you see, is somewhat aimed at what you have been watching or looking at on their site or on other sites. For example, I watched a couple army videos and the next day I got on YouTube the advertisements and recommended videos were all of the army. Like I said in a couple posts back, there is a wide variety of people on YouTube, which makes it entertaining, you never know what comment or what video will come next. Another thing I liked that I learned is how the business aspect of YouTube works, YouTube has around a billion views a day which makes it a great place for businesses and new movies to be advertised. You can contact YouTube and they will set you up with an advertiser and the more you pay YouTube the longer the advertisement is, some range from five seconds, some 10, and then some of them a minute with no skip button. Since YouTube has gotten so big it has required some changes to make it easier for the community to use. One way they did this was by making it more organized, YouTube made a category list of all the different subjects on the homepage so that you can see what is being watched by many in different categories like music, film, comedy, and trending.

Overall YouTube is a great community to join, most people love YouTube it is shared by millions and millions of people each day, the main reason to get on YouTube is to watch other people’s videos and share the world your talents, abilities, experiences, or just to mess around. It’s a community for all, so check it out.
