"Youtube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money." Do you agree?

Many different kinds of videos have been uploaded onto Youtube. There are videos that are solely for entertainment, videos for enrichment, videos for seeking health advices etc. Youtube is easily accessible and downloading of software of any kind is not necessary when we want to view any videos. It's free, and it's convenient. Since its launch, Youtube has attracted a wide range of viewers.

There are videos on Youtube that provides parents with advices and tips on how to deal with medical issues. for example,instructive video clips are uploaded by professionals(eg.doctors) to: aid parents in helpoing their autistic child; explain treatments,that are difficult to be described,visually. This method to raise awareness and better understanding in people on the various health issues actually has pros and cons (i.e. misleading) despite the good intentions to help viewers.

There are also video clips that allow viewers to catch their idol's mtv clips or the tv drama series or any other shows that they might have missed. And this appeals to a large number of young viewers. This is when Youtube is used for provision of entertainment and earn money. Advertisers are in favour of being on youtube, thus showing it's popularity and this meant that Youtube is making alot of money since Google is willing to pay a high price.

Youtube also seems to be an alternative for people to post sensitive videos such as those regarding politicians and religion. I feel that Youtube should be on an alert to ensure that such posts on sensitive issues should be banned so as to not stir-up any unhappiness among the different communities. hence,such video clips should not be encouraged or even allowed.

In conclusion, I don't think that Youtube has totally no ethics and is set up solely for money and entertainment. They still do act against people who violates the law. However, they should still be more sensitive and strict on the kinds of video clips uploaded and avoid issues that are offensive(eg. religiously/politically). And only accurate information should be posted so as not to mislead people,especially on health issues.
