Back in 2005-2016, it was a Legendary site/app to use, since people could share videos they've created, upload whatever they pleased, and also, if it was massively successful, could get monetization from YouTube VIA Ad money. Nowadays, you can post literally anything that isn't anything bad, and your channel can get striked, because Susan runs YouTube like the Chinese Government runs their Market... Censoring lots and lots.
Before 2016
Guy: "Man YouTube is THE best thing the Internet can offer, fr"
Guy 2: "Bro, come on. Everybody and their mother knows that YouTube is like, a mythical place to chill out to"
Guy: "I hope YouTube can stay with humanity, like, forever."
Guy 2: "Same"
After 2016:
YouTuber: "BRO WTF MAN, I'M ONLY GETTING A DOLLAR FOR EVERY MILLION VIEWS! WTF!!!!!"
YouTuber 2: "MAN AT LEAST IT'S NOT AS BAD AS HAVING A MEME VIDEO TAKEN DOWN FOR USING LIKE 2 SECONDS OF COPYRIGHTED MUSIC!"
YouTuber: "OMG I HATE THIS SO MUCH BROOO!!!"
YouTuber 2: "BRO SAME..."

Someone who uploads youtube videos, particularly someone who has some what of a fan base. Although it can mean anyone in youtube, it specifically means someone who makes videos.

Great source of music videos, but in common with the rest of the internet it is clogged to fuck with valueless self-indulgent crap posted by moronic teens. Youtube comments are great fun to troll due to lack of moderation and proliferation of easily-offended fanboys.
Typical Youtube comment thread:
*1*bunnybabygrrl*1*: WORD UP I LUV DIS VID MARY KATE IZ THE BAlLLZ LOL shE LOOKS SO PRITI WEN SHE SiNGZ LOL i WANT TO B HER luv U 4 EVA MK :):):)LOL

dismalobsessive: You will pay for your mockery. I know where you live. Prepare to die slow FAGGOT!
(continues ad nauseam)

YouTube is a website that allows users to upload and share videos worldwide. Launched in Febuary 2005 by three former members of paypal, YouTube has seen immense success, and as of March 2006 roughly 20,000 videos are uploaded daily.
-YouTube, "Broadcast Yourself."

I made a video blog on YouTube.
I found Audioslave concert videos on YouTube.
Parents should be aware of what their children post on YouTube, as there are many perverts and perverted comments.

Arm-pit of the Internet
Videos
The videos are decent quality. Some are completely pointless and piss-poor quality though.
Comments
Home to some of the most vile and venomous comments you'll ever find.
Comments are usually written by people who shouldn't have never been given a keyboard.
Opinions
Don't even think of trying to post your opinion. People will try to argue with you with their simple-minded grammar-poor idiocy.

The most popular video-hosting site. Millions of users upload their videos on virtually any subject out there (although nudity is not allowed).
Each video can be rated and commented on, which is not a good idea at all. Most of the comments in almost ANY video consists of 12-year old kids with no spelling or grammar skills; 30+ year old pseudo-intellectuals who try to tell everyone else how they're right and the others are wrong; racists; or people who just like to pick fights for no reason. If for whatever reason you feel like losing a few brain cells and want to look at the comments, be prepared to see a lot of "noob", "faggot", "gay", "Republican/Democrat", or "nigger" being used.
Aside from the comments, Youtube used to be a decent place, until the following started happening:
1. WMG started deleting music videos and muting videos with ANY piece of audio by any of the music artists under their labels
2. Viacom sued Google, which Youtube is owned by, having them delete many videos of TV shows
3. The majority of the user base became 14-year old tween girls obsessed with Twilight and the Jonas Brothers
4. Fred became the most popular user. Seriously, that alone is reason to avoid this place like the black plague.
Now, there is almost nothing left worth watching on Youtube, except for maybe some Failblog videos, Youtube Poops, or music videos of bands NOT owned by WMG. And even these can be ruined just by looking at the comments. It can be the most non-provoking, non-violent, socially-acceptable video ever, and you'll still see someone flaming the holy hell out of someone, whether it be the author, or another commenter.
