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



Well, let us first define what entertainment is all about. According to the dictionary, entertainment is a word used to describe the pleasure or amusement somebody gets from something.


Youtube caters to one's needs of a wide variety of videos; be it a comedy or educational programme. I cannot deny the fact that Youtube does presents the most entertaining film one can get and moreover, you can get to watch them for free. In the context of Singaporeans, it is definitely a pleasure to be able to enjoy the free videos. Thus I have to agree that Youtube does provide the human population across the globe with the entertainment they need.


Also, I agree that Youtube’s sole purpose is to make as much profits as possible. I'll call the creator of Youtube a businessman. I won't really consider him as an entrepreneur becuase if he’s one, he would had hold on to his website and not sell it for money to Google.Moreover, why would one listed company want to buy his site? In my humble opinion, it’s of course to make money then.


I agree to the above statement and seriously believe that Youtube has no ethics.
Firstly, the purpose of Youtube is to entertain the public. Have we ever thought of the barriers of entertainment? After much thought, I personally believe that there isn’t any. People can find anything amusing and view that as their entertainment. As long as one is able to find laughter to them, who will really care if the uploaded videos are ethical?


Secondly, are you really that innocent to think that ethics do exist in the business world? Well, it is indeed sad to say that their only concern is the piles of dollar bills in one's pockets, but it is a fact that one can never deny. This can be clearly presented in the incident involving the Thailand King. An uploaded film on Youtube, which is said to be an insult to the King, was asked to be removed. However, Youtube refused to do so and its refusal has stained the reputation of the Thai King. Another recent incident in Singapore, that spark off some heated argument, was the video in which models were asked to take off their bras by DJ in local radio station. Though this video has caused much unhappiness, the relevant authority did nothing about it. The reason behind these is simple-the more heated the argument, the more the people are willingly to take their time off to take a look at it, and hence increasing the number of people visiting the website.


In conclusion, through the many incidents, it has clearly shown that Youtube has no ethics and that it's sole purpose is only to make profit out of their so-called entertainment provided for the audience.
