Youtube Attention Span

Your normal attention span only significantly decreased due to Youtube. Whereas normally 10 minutes is a short amount of time, Youtube turns it into a cinematic experience.

Jill: Watch this video!
Jack: Okay.
Jack: wtf? 10 minutes? That's way over my Youtube Attention Span.
Jill: *cries*

YouTube Mass Hysteria

When fake or sensational videos are uploaded to YouTube and propelled by alarmist users into the mind of the general population, spawning urban myths, group-think, or panic.

"Dude did you hear that there is a hidden camera in your cable box watching you jerkoff?"

No way that's totally "YouTube Mass Hysteria "

Youtube Educated 

When you believe you're educated about a certain subject by watching several Youtube videos, when in reality, you don't know shit compared to most people who do actual research, and you're just parroting what you heard on a Youtube video with no real citations or sources. Mostly popular with 9/11 conspiracists, global warming deniers, etc.

Tim: John, I'm telling you, global warming is a total hoax, I've seen several youtube videos debunking it!

John: No Tim, you're just youtube educated, and have no idea what the fuck you're talking about compared to people who actually have an education in studying the climate, and have done the research.

YouTube Effect 

The phenomenon in which one navigates to a single video hosted on Youtube (either by URL from email, friend, forum post, by searching, or otherwise) and find yourself clicking on related videos until you wake up hours later to find yourself watching Chocolate Rain for the umpteenth time or enjoying the musical stylings of Rick Astley.

The YouTube Effect can apply to any other video, image, music, etc. site that shows related files or pages on whatever page you are viewing.

Shit, I told myself I'd only watch that ONE Lady Gaga video on YouTube, but before I knew it, it was 3 AM and I was watching mindless crap like fat ladies yelling at skater kids. Damn YouTube Effect...
