“YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.”
Do you agree?
I agree with the statement that “YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.”
Firstly, the defination of entertainment is the amount of pleasure or amusement somebody gets from something. Most of the videos that are put up in YouTube are music videos, funny videos of encounters and movie videos. All of these are forms of entertainment. Even documentaries is a form of entertainment, just that it appeals to a different group of people. Since almost all the videos are entertaining videos, would you not agree that YouTube's objective is entertainment? And since they earn from these entertainment they provide, money would also be their purpose wouldn't it?
Secondly, the recent event of having a 44-second film showing graffiti over the Thailand king's face being aired goes to show how ethical YouTube's videos are. Also in the case of Singapore, racists videos are occasionally being put up too. Entertaining? Yes. Ethical? NO.
But, the internet nowadays is so broad and wide. It is difficult or impossible to place restrictions on the videos that people put up. It is also just as difficult to restrain people from viewing the videos. Hence, such incidents are inevitable.
I can only conclude that in this high-technology, fast-paced society, everybody has to be responsible for what you do on the internet. It is all in your moral and righteousness. Entertainment can be attained without having to put down or make fun of other cultures, races or even any particular individual.
