YouTube as a Participatory Culture

1. The interaction online become a key part for the YouTube video production community because it allows users to post what they want to talk about, spread news, give their opinions on subjects that is happening right now, or comment about games and movies. The reason why YouTube is so popular is because it appeals to both the old and the new generation. YouTube is able to allow older viewers to view old videos that they will know about. The younger generation can watch videos that they will find entertaining, and they can get jobs on YouTube by posting videos.
2. Seven out of Ten subscribed people to YouTube are teens and young adults says that the site is starting to appeal to that demographic more than the older adults. Young teens to young adults often get YouTube accounts to comment another person’s video or even make one of their own. Research shows that 44% of teens and young adults find more entertainment on YouTube then they do on TV. They go on YouTube for entertainment purposes, pass time, hear what people are talking about, or see what their friends of talking about. This different from how adults spend their time at that age.
3. YouTube uses different techniques compared to other websites by being a big content sharing site that is accessible to everyone. YouTube gives privilege to those who can post every day, these people would then go on to get a job that is referred to as YouTubers. YouTubers will share what they want to talk about on their channel and viewers can look at it for free. They can find instructions on how to make something online, what to do during a situation channel, or watch people play games and get hints on how to complete it. This site allows users to share what they know with everyone watching.

4.  The next step for YouTube would be how they encourage future users to create their own videos or mentor teammates of a channel on how to work together on YouTube. Various companies can create their own channels and post videos in order to encourage viewers to work with them. There would be more broadcast channels on the site, such as television channels, sports channels, and maybe music making sites. The more content that people create, the bigger YouTube will become, it is now a part of everyday life.
