'youtube has no ethics or principles and is created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money. do you agree?'

i agree with the view to a large extent. youtube is now a fast growing website that is gaining immense popularity. it's a website that basically enables users to upload any media-based material, like songs or videos. there are no restrictions and one can post simply anything. in this materialistic world, we all pursue success. similarly to youtube, they enforce minimal restrictions such that users enjoy their services so much that youtube reaps tremendous profits. this shows that, youtube does intend to benefit users so greatly simply for the benefit of monetary influx.

youtube's open nature is good in the sense that we can get a varied amount of media and entertainment. however, many fail to notice that this very open policy actually infringes the rules of media and entertainment. users tend to simply upload movies and such without bothering to note the privacy statement or copyright laws. this makes youtube almost an avenue for illegal content online. does this show that youtube practices morals and ethics? no. they simply do not empower their media search engine with proper upright media rules and regulations.

furthermore, in this world of high advancement in technology and such, we are constantly looking for avenues that enable us to get the juiciest bites of media on the run. people turn to avenues like youtube where media is easily tapped on. the market for media is so great that websites such as youtube is highly pressurized into supplying what is demanded by the masses. we can thus see that youtube sometimes does not have a basis of foundation that it builts its website on. but it's based on market and demand.
