What's So Great About YouTube?

YouTube to me is a site where people can get online and post their movies, post slideshows that they created and anything else they can post with a moving screen with or without noise. It is used for sharing their funny moments or their favorite songs with the world, with their friends and family, etc.
Anything and everything is on YouTube, from your next door neighbor filming his baby's first steps to B.O.B's latest music video to people slipping and falling on ice to commercials and ads as seen on TV. The genres on YouTube are as vast and as broad as any other genre that might be found on the internet or surfing the web.
Anyone and everyone can be on YouTube. Your next door neighbor's crazy aunt that lives across the country who wants to see the kids first steps, to an avid fan of B.O.B, to someone who really just wants to see "someone bust their ass" on the ice, to someone who is working on a journalism project and has to collect ads for a specific company. The audience on YouTube is as large as the genres on YouTube.
The popularity of the videos on YouTube honestly depends on the viewers who are viewing the videos on YouTube. It is hard to say when you post a video on YouTube if you and your close circle of friends will be the only ones that watch it or if a larger audience will find the entertainment or emotional appeal to your movie or clip... or whatever you post up there. It all depends on the viewer. It all depends on the movie. It's YouTube, the possibilities are endless.
