What is YouTube?
Do we really know what YouTube is? Let’s find out.
There are so many similar applications available in the world, which are somewhat similar to YouTube, such as
- Vimeo
- Crackle
- MX Player
- Metacafe
- Dailymotion
- VLC
- Twitch
- Veoh
- The Internet Archive
- The Open Video Project
- Netflix can also be considered
All these are doing is allowing us to watch the video what we wanted to watch and this is what I call “illusion”.If we talk about high level, that’s what we understand about these Video Streaming Application or sources.
What’s hidden is that these are actually mind games and just not the Video players. They first attract you by the videos of your choice and keep you all eyes and ears with them.
Once they realize that you are totally in them, they start showing you what they want you to watch as per their Artificial Intelligence knowledge about you. Nothing shocking because we are so used to about all these, that we don’t even realize it.
While watching their videos, they engage your eyes, hands, ears and your brain. Reaching to your brain is little tricky one but they are so smart that it is getting easier for them to get you totally in or hypnotized.
That’s how they are able to give fame to those whom they want to and that’s how they defame those whom they want to be defamed. It’s become game where everyone is happy who is watching, who is uploading and who is earning.
Yes, the interesting part is earning. Now a days YouTube has stringent conditions for one to earn still there are people around the globe who are earning a lot from YouTube.
On the other hand, this is a good source of learning as well. Those who cannot afford costly trainings, can switch to YouTube and see its magic to make you master of the masters.
There are people even made YouTube as their career. They used to develop good quality videos and upload it here.
Once their channel gets monetized, they start getting dollars for their videos along with adding advertisement.
To conclude, let YouTube help you in all the ways you want it to be instead to be a victim of wrong information, because the video you are watching might be free but the cost of your time is priceless and no one can repay you.
Consider yourself to be the most important person on earth, take care of your eyes and don’t allow others to play with it. Watch what you need to watch and not others want you to watch.
Cheers!
