Youtube has been one of my favorite sites to visit and submit things to since I found out about it in’07. Just like the site’s motto, Youtube is a place where you can’Broadcast Yourself’. You can find educational, entertaining, and even inspirational videos on this site. However, like any site that has user-submitted material, there are some inappropriate things.
Language in some videos and the comments of videos isn’t always the cleanest. The content of certain videos may be violent or sexual. One of the good things is is the fact that you can use the Safety Mode feature to turn off anything that you don’t want to be shown.
And even if you don’t use the Safety Mode, many videos that are overtly violent or sexual aren’t available to users under 18.(Of course, people can lie about their age on their account, but if you set up the account with your child, you can ensure that this doesn’t happen.)You can also flag or report videos that you may find offensive or inappropriate, and Youtube actually takes this into consideration and has actually suspended or shut down people on the site for posting the bad material.
But all in all, Youtube is a great site to connect with other people who share your interests, entertaining yourself, and’Broadcasting Yourself’.
