Positives & Negatives of YouTube!

YouTube is an amazing platform that people use all over the world! Users are free to upload videos, watch videos, comment, like, and share videos. Although YouTube has the ability to do all these wonderful things, there can still be some negative effects on people on this platform. 

Let’s start off with the positives! Have you ever searched up something on Google or Safari and had the words “No Results” come up? It’s very disappointing, isn’t it? Well luckily, YouTube will never leave you hanging because it actually has a search for anything! Yes, anything. YouTube also keeps you occupied and entertained, so you can watch your favorite YouTuber all day long, endless you have a school of course! Lastly, it’s no money, and if you are a hard-working YouTuber you could actually make money. So if you ever wanted to work from home, maybe you would want to be a YouTuber.

Now the negatives of YouTube. Kids and adults are already spending a lot of time on screens, and YouTube isn’t helping with that. Too much screen time also means people aren’t getting the exercise they need. You should always be aware of how much time you’re spending on your TV, phone, Ipad, laptop, or any type of screen. YouTube might misunderstand you. Something that happens a lot when using this platform is getting the wrong information. Say you’re researching something, and you misspell the word, YouTube might think you are talking about something completely different.

YouTube can cause negative and positive effects. So just remember to be careful when using these platforms.  Otherwise, you are free to sit back and watch some YouTube.
