In this article , Dr. Hamad Al-Majid discusses the purpose of youtube as well as his opinion of it. He starts things off by giving a brief introduction of how youtube was discovered, which was not so horrible. However, once Al-Majid gets to the real story, things go down hill, in my opinion, of course.
Al-Majid describes youtube as a website that is mainly filled with useless content, and a great deal of gossip. While yes, I do agree that youtube has been known for quite a few scandals, that is not how I view it at all. Al-Majid fails to mention what I think to be the most important aspect of this website--creativity. The reason that youtube is so magnificent is because there is nonstop entertainment and creativity that can be found. If one has an opinion on something, or has an idea or just something that they would like to say to the world, youtube is a place that they can share it. Some people, such as myself, enjoy youtube for watching different people's creativity, as well as their humor. There are many video's that just amaze me, such as this one. While yes, the video may be a bit silly, it still is absolutely incredible. The time and effort that it takes to do something like that can make one understand why a person would want the whole world to see their video's. If you have that talent, or humor or just the ability to entertain people in some way, it should not be hidden, but shared with the world.
Alright, I realize that I'm getting a bit off topic, but to sum things up, Al-Majid only recognizes the faults of youtube and does not once mention any other purpose other than the scandals and gossip that the website has caused,
